Possible Trolls

Acquistare Disegno -- see this thread.
- 2011-10-30: his account is now named "Pin Up Bot"
Jim Morris -- has twice deleted offending comments after being identified, so save copies (preferably both screencap and text) of what he says first.

Thomas Bushnell is reportedly a Google employee who essentially trolls any discussion of naming policy; see comment on this post (1 report only).
Jay Maynard
- In this thread, Tony Sidaway describes him as "a professional noisemaker with nothing sensible to say on any topic", which seems reasonable.
- in this thread, he seems to be representing the views of the Foxagandized Masses; David Gerard says "Jay is not a troll, but believes every word he writes."

Catherine Fitzpatrick: might sincerely believe what she says, but likes to cherry-pick and distort. Shava Nerad knows her IRL.
- wikipedia:Catherine A. Fitzpatrick seems to be the same person, though there is no direct confirmation.
- dialogues:
  - Dylan Ratigan loses it
  - Naomi Wolf arrested: claims Wolf is a provocateur and OWS are Bolsheviks
Aaron Cole: insists that journalists must be objective and "report news, not make it"
- Caitlin Currin fired over brief #OWS participation
Gareth Baker
- Texas Judge Beats Daughter, And I'm So Glad She Taped It: comes in with what seems like an understandable viewpoint, but then ignores and mischaracterizes counterarguments

Lance Norris
- from this thread: "given a choice between he two, I'll go with the Right. Reagan added millions more jobs than Obama has without spending us into oblivion. The current Republican bills calling for lower taxes and other business incentives have been proven more than once. Obama's stimulus? Thanks to the Democrats we have more debt than at any other time in history and the job growth it was suppose to create still hasn't occurred." When asked for evidence, said he would provide it but was taking an ill relative to the hospital, "stay tuned".
