ATS is like a decade old and these disinfo discussion threads popup from time to time. Always fun.
To me the disinfo agents are the ones that derail a serious topic through various means, including but not limited to:
- using erroneous or trivial details in the OP to try and discredit it
- posting MSM propaganda as holy writ and fact
- posting hearsay and third party "he said" "she said" as proof without fact checking
- posting completely unrelated info and using it to base their argument or stand point
- acts of division, trying to split opinion (as can be seen in the 9/12 march thread)
- use the race/anti-semite/homophobe/god/political card
- use religious text as fact
- just write anything/make stuff up to throw you off kilter
- post that you must be a left/right/liberal/repub/birther/truther wing nut
