Concern trolling is a form of Internet trolling in which someone enters a discussion with claims that he or she supports the view of the discussion, but has concerns. In fact, the concern troll is opposed to the view of the discussion, and he or she uses concern trolling to sow doubt and dissent in the community of commenters or posters. Although this practice originated on the Internet, it has since spread to the real world as well, withconcern trolls popping up in a variety of places from network television to op-ed columns.
Artful concern trolling involves developing a believable persona as a supporter of a cause who has legitimate concerns. In an example of concern trolling, a group of people might be having a political discussion on a website about a candidate they support. The concern troll would log on and say “I'm concerned that this candidate might not be strong enough to beat the opposition,” or “I'm worried that the candidate's history in the legislature might be a problem in the election.”
Once a concern troll has sowed dissent or discord, often he or she can sit back and let the other commenters do the rest of the work. When a concern troll has done the job correctly, the discussion will split, factions will emerge, and support for the cause will have eroded. Concern trolling can also be highly distracting, as people band together to oppose the concern troll, rather than discussing serious issues, including valid concerns which should be addressed. Depending on the context, a concern troll may use a sockpuppet, a false account which conceals his or her real identity. In some particularly infamous cases, members of political campaigns have trolled the opposition using sockpuppet accounts with the goal of undermining grassroots support. When these cases are exposed, it can be quite embarrassing, as trolling is generally viewed as an underhanded and often questionable tactic.
These are just a few of your psy op accusations. Either you're one of them or you've got your psy op glasses on.
This was just one quick search on the first page of many with your psy ops posts.
I posted only one personal message to you and here it is. Your threats don't scare me.

You post a lot. What's your intention?
It's forcing your beliefs on everyone, cramming it down our throats.
I noticed you have two personalities. You can be nice, interesting and funny to certain people, but to others you're extremely passive aggressive, with more emphasis on aggressiveness, attacking people relentlessly and negatively.
It's a real bummer having that form of person posting in threads. You bring down the discussion to one big angry defensive mess. If people don't agree with your religion you attack them and it's not easy defending yourself against you because you're entrenched in your dogma, and you don't let go like a pit bull.
My guess is you've been diagnosed with BPD or bipolar disorder.
Do you see how underhandedly aggressive you are? Do you like pushing people's buttons and getting people angry?
Were you a troll in another life?
I've chosen to ignore you, but if you attack me, push your religion on me, or even others in a thread I'm talking, I'm going to say all this in there.
There's just so much abuse a person can take and they have to say enough is enough.
Be nice or go away.
The point being, who has the time, or the energy, to be in here that often disrupting threads? Unfortunalty, there are many paid trolls on controversial forums (paid by teacher's unions, other unions, political groups, religious groups. governments, PACs, and other special interest groups.) Notice how divisive these forums IC (or IT, inner turmoil) is on are, and how people are confused and wondering who's the planted troll?

On another article, I mentioned that I had encountered on a message board that there were "paid" trolls. These people were surfing the internet and joining discussion boards solely for the purpose of disruption of any discussion that was adverse to their employers. Since I hadn't researched it or googled the subject I got to it. Here is a copy of the list on just one page of a search. I was appalled that not only was there one person that had mentioned this but that many people were discussing this issue.
Representing yourself as a "real" person that is interested in the subject and has a valid different opinion is practicing democracy. When you are being paid to promote the opinion of someone else that is not necessarily yours, that is wrong to me. I will not advocate for something I do not believe in firmly. I will question and discuss until I work out an opinion.
What are your thoughts on Paid Trolls, not just the usual unhappy place troll. The list follows and again this is only one page of a search using Paid Trolls as the search on Bing. I didn't Metacrawl search it.
