   Well, there was ALWAYS Juan... Also at some point, about the time I
   found out about the list, someone had mentioned it publicly on social
   media. I forget where exactly... but that could account for some of the
   trolling too.
   FWIW the troll infestation on the intertubz seems to have increased
   dramatically with the advent of SOMEONE using the intertubz to get
   elected prezident.
   Works good! Yesterday il Douche Trump tweeted what a waste the F-35
   fighter program was and within an hour Lockheed's stock value dropped
   $3.5 BILLION dollars. This morning I found myself locked out of twitter
   b/c "Win an iphone by reporting "Russian Trolls" contest. Cleared it u
   and reported the cyber-bullying contest and the person who reported me.
   I had to buy a special keyboard.

        I agree.

     That's the way it works on the radio.

        Interesting.

     You don't
     care what handle 'the jerk' is using, you just ignore 'the jerk'.

        Yes.

     Eventually they shut up. Even if they lurk.

        That would be a pleasant outcome. Perhaps radio is more personal?

     Admittedly I'm a violator of that rule of shunning trolls
     occasionally,
     but I subscribe to this list because of my interest in Cybersecurity
     for
     individuals, any individual anywhere, and some parties, EVEN THOUGH
     THEY
     SEEM TO HAVE the technical skills, are using this list as a
     'litterbox'
     to 'shit' in.

        Litterbox. Exactly.

     I believe it's intentional and targeted because it seemed
     to begin in earnest after most people on the list essentially
     supported
     @ioerror when he was institutionally slandered by a few individuals
     at
     TorProject. There's an agenda behind the people posting crap here...
     and
     it's not related to the crap they post.

        I had not noticed the correlation. Of course, that doesn't prove
     causation, but it is something to keep in mind.
