Editors Note: The Trouble with Trolls (update)

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

Repost of link http://www.cracked.com/funny-3809-internet-argument-techniques/ which provides an effective summary of the worst practices of blog trolls.

Blog for Arizona does not care whether you use a pseudonym to post comments. We do care, however, when one individual creates multiple identities and posts from the same address. That's a red flag. It may come as a surprise to some of you that political organizations, PR/lobbying firms and corporations routinely pay people to troll on blog sites. The Low Spark of Well-Heeled Trolls I know! Shocking.

Recently a blog troll has returned. Time to call on my enforcer "Glove" to deliver a beat down.

There have been comments left under a variety of pseudonyms all originating from the same address: Operation Titstorm, The Ghost of Marcia Powell, The Ghost of Grover Cleveland, The Ghost of Michael Dukakis, Anonymous, and my favorite, You Know Who (yes I do).

You know him better as British blogger Nanny Knows Best, or Ken Frost, whom we introduced to you previously. Meet blog troll Nanny Knows Best Are you really so desperate for attention?

And isn't there an election in progress across the pond in Great Britain that you could be blogging about instead of trolling here?
