Exactly. It's called feeding the trolls. The attention hounds.
But that begs the questions, why do people buy into the BS and why is it allowed?
Because trolls like that post their garbage all over the net and in the process create 'artificial facts' that the less diligent and gullible take as Truth. And that particular forum's chief moderator, a troll in his own right, is famous for promoting these 'Artificial Facts'. Whatever it takes to get more 'hits' and drive advertising dollars into the forum's pockets. They don't care how many are deceived or who's pockets they are mining.
Of course the trolls know this, and use the forum's internet ranking (achieved deservedly by the FORMER owner, not the current ones) to spread their BS and make it appear legit. And any person of Reason who speaks up and attempts to question their validity and inform the public they are being deceived, gets the axe.
Thankfully, it appears to have backfired on them. The post count has dropped so badly that in order to keep a daily post count above 200, they use shills like the bumper sticker salesman and Parrot Bots to flood the forum on a daily basis. Even then the 24 hr post count drops below 200 several times each day. It must be a full time job making all those nonsensical posts to keep the advertising dollars flowing.
It's a downright shame to see all the BS flowing out of that sewer right into the public domain.
Yes, it's nonsense of the worst kind. But nonsense that profits from deception. And I may be speaking out of turn here, but I feel that Tom and I are like minded in calling out the deception when we see it. I couldn't care less about the Trolls themselves. The irony is they wouldn't have a voice if not promoted and protected by those making a profit. Period.
I shall step down from my soap box now.
Excuse the rant.
Something severely lacking in STSNBN.
