(111,267 posts)1. I've tracked down trolls here and there
and the one thing they have in common is that they're consistently toadlike in appearance.

(50,130 posts)3. we have our own trolls and moles living here
They spend their lives watching DU and commenting on what we post here, taking our words to their web site. Sometimes they make real world trouble. They clog up google with their garbled commentary and bigoted distortions.
Verrry interesting. That's what I think..
