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.
