Good morning, Mike S--I'm not sure he is paid (might be) as much as I think his rants are the posts of an adult who was bullied as a child and somehow lives in a mind that thinks he is superior. He occasionally posts something written somewhat rationally, then if he gets blowback, he resorts to calling everyone "thugs" or my favorite "thugly"!! (LOL)

I know that he gets reported to the administrators here ALL.THE.TIME, and yet they don't remove him. I know they DO look at the reports--other trolls HAVE been removed over the years, thanks due to forum here. I wonder WHY the admin is watching him and not removing him? That thought ought to electrify his tin hat--why I can almost smell the sizzle already.

I usually ignore him, but I don't read his posts, but IF I see people reply to him and he resorts to his juvenile name calling, I make SURE to report each and every one of his posts. He'll get barred eventually. (Or the FBI show up at his door?) :-D

Miselle, all good points about Platform hygiene. I was directed to "The Economist" 11/26/22 Edition for a summary of Foreign state Troll tactics:

"Russian Trolls and foreign-language [Russian] state media have pumped out a flood of outrageous & contradictory lies to Western audiences hoping to undermine public confidence that no one is telling the truth" not to mention specificly targeted audiences like the Catalan conflict in Spain. I am engaged with Substack Inc on posting of "ru" state propaganda and personal attacks on Substack that may be considered civil wrongs commonly called torts like defamation. More later.

Thank you, Bryan!

I don't mind differences of opinion, and I learn a lot from people who post on here. He is not one of them.
