Management has permitted slouise, tlh lib and Anonymous Army to run riot, and has apparently renewed their contracts. Kos needs to get a clue: they aren't cops. They are headknockers, the kind of bad cops that gave the LAPD and Mayor Daley's force a bad name. Fueled by some inner logic only accessible to the the devoted "troll-hunter", they have spread invective-filled vile posts far and wide. Oh sure, they identify and beat a few trolls--but none that weren't patently obvious to everyone else. There has been unacceptable collateral damage to bystanders, the falsely accused, and to DailyKos itself.
This is not about ratings abuse, troll-rating, or rating in general. This is about the quality of their posts, which are characterized by illogic, venom, obscenity, and abuse. Except for slouise; she doesn't curse much although she makes up for it by being repetitive and prolix. But make no mistake: they aim to be disruptive and they achieve that goal.
So that's all for me! Buh buh bye!
And thank you for your comments. n/t.
UPDATE: Trustworthy sources indicate that tlh lib may not be in the same category as slouise and AA. I have my doubts about that, but I will defer on that point. I regret any hard feelings my inclusion of tlh lib might have caused.
