You've all encountered them in the comments sections of soulcast articles, I'm sure. Zionist Trolls.
Zionist Trolls come in all flavors. There are Ashkenazim Zionist trolls with their angry, twisted-logic rhetoric, and there are arguably Zionist Trolls within the Sephardi ranks as well.
Is it possible to clearly define what makes someone a Zionist troll? I think it is. A Zionist troll is someone who spreads obvious Zionist disinformation, often reposting the same disinformation as comments on multiple articles. This is a form of spam.
Further, Zionist Trolls will often have a minimal, or even no Bio listed, or a bogus bio, often use fake names and will have never posted an article or diary, or at most a few flimsy articles or diaries.
Zionist Trolls generally have a clearly defined agenda, and almost always use negative attacks, ad hominem comments, flat-out lies or they try to hijack threads, taking them far away from the focus of the article. Another common Zionist Troll maneuver is to re-post lies or urban legends.
Zionist Trolls do not further the discussion, and they do not help the site and its community grow. They are a saboteur in the machine, a monkey wrench in the works, a fly in the ointment.
Keep in mind that most discussion sites accept comments from right wingers with intelligent and well written articles, diaries and comments. We expect civility from them as well as from our progressive members. It is NOT appropriate to flag a comment just because the right winger embraces a right wing position. Please don't call the commenter names.
