Are disinfo/PR Agents Spamming internet message boards are losers?
Do you think pr agents paid to flood/Spam/rebump a internet message board a bunch of losers? I mean they are getting paid and all so I guess they are not that big of a loser. They even stalk people to other boards. Its really sad.

Probably not. If there is, then there are most likely far less of them than people assume. There really isn't much of a need for it. There are plenty of other idiots online that spread dis-info all the time for free.

Without mentioning names I would like to say that I think several of the people on various threads, especially the birth certificate threads, are paid shills or just $#it stirrers. I used to be an administrator on a discussion board and had to deal with a few of them. I found that banning them was the only way to stop the personal attacks and vile invective. Unfortunately this site is so huge and of such a nature that banning is not a viable option in all but the most severe cases where repeated rule and etiquette violations persist. So I guess we have to do what any intelligent person will do; use our judgment and discernment to decide the issues for ourselves without falling for the hyperbole and obfuscation of the spammers.

In other words just like in every other forum you will have trolls.

Hmmm... well - they are likely getting paid to sit around their house in the pj's, eat hot pockets and make troll posts on the net all day long. For some folks on the net that would be a dream job.
