Quantum Gravity 216.1: Intermission: Trolls/Graffiti Artists Attempt to Increase Their Credibility

From Osher Doctorow

The latest "saga" in the bombardment of my postings here by Trolls/
Graffiti artists is an attempt by them by increase their
"credibility" (very important in MoveOn.Org type and similar type
propaganda and attacks) by:

A. Using "official-seeming" names: Local Host, etc.
B. Either themselves reading easiest parts of papers that I refer to
or consulting a real physics student to find typos or failures of my
source or me to qualify statements (where usually the qualifications
are understood and I'm trying to type rapidly).

They pounced on my comments re Lubos Motl's site with great gusto.
My comments didn't involve equations usually, so they could fake their
way through and use their other methods more easily.

Well, who said that Trolls/Graffiti Artists are usually "innocent
Dunces"? There are probably as many with agendas as without agendas.
