We've got a lot of them, and unfortunately they are nearly all right wing trolls. Here's how to deal with them, since Current won't.

      I think this is , uhm,..."pushing" the boundaries of "feedback" censorship,...myself.
      This is a VERY general online community informational post. Really. Just sayin.
      -granted, noeocongo just out n' said "c u r r e n t " once,.....but still,.....a VERY generalized post.

    • "Unmoderated or poorly moderated environments are not only more susceptible to malicious or damaging trolls, they are also more likely to create the conditions that invite them. This is because the members themselves have very little in the way of actual power. With few other options at their disposal they will often resort to intimidation tactics and personal attack with the hope of verbally overpowering the offender. If the offender is a true troll, this will only reinforce the troll's sense of purpose, inflames his/her ire, and let him or her know who the willing targets are. Informal community leaders, those who are empathic to others or those sensitive to the slights of injustice are more likely to step forward in cases of troll attack and thus, become their target."
