I stayed away from MyDD for several months during this primary season in a fit of pique because my email address changed and I couldn't seem to get a login that would work.

I finally straightened it out and came back.  My first comment in an open thread was 'What has happened here?  The place is crawling with trolls.'  Now that I've been around again for a couple of months, I gotten used to it but it was a shocker.

My point, if I have one, is that your friend's plan works.  I've become slightly de-sensitized to trollish behavior.  There are only a few Clinton supporters on this site that appear to be genuine.  The rest appear to be trolls but since I can't be sure, I have to treat them as if they are not.  On other liberal blogs, people are not so kind.  Posters who have been long ago outed as trolls on TPM and Kos have been posting with impunity here until recently, even getting admin support to remove TU status from people calling them out.
