Maggie's Farm

Bird Dog, I have enjoyed your site for many years, and appreciate your dedication (and that of the other farmhands). However, your inability to deal with your zaktroll reached a new low when accepting a posting analogizing the illegal alien killer of Mollie Tibbetts to the jews who were slaughtered by nazi germany. Of course the german jews were not illegal aliens, and were prevented from leaving, then gassed. Our illegal aliens are completely free to leave rather than accept welfare payments, and even vote without consequence.

The organized zak propaganda trollfarm focused on narratives/memes defending hillary/obama, global warming, illegal immigration/open borders/illegal voting, differs from the spontaneous responses and comments of individual readers of your website. The disruption and annoyance is too much, so I’m dropping your site.

I suggest you, or some of your readership, might want to report the zaktroll behavior to the FBI investigating organized influence and disruption. Is this trolling associated with soros, or the "clinton foundation”, russia, china, antifa, the CIA, DNC, steyer, etc? As the proprietor, you should have the right to know if your site is being trolled and disrupted by an organized troll farm dedicated to disruption.

Last comment.
Take a look at the 58-and-counting comment disruption of the saturday morning links. Pure disruption and intended annoyance to viewers.

The Zaktroll farm clearly does more damage to their propaganda than if they didn't post. The primary purpose appears to be disruption rather than persuasion. The usual cure for individual trolls is to ignore them - "don't feed the trolls". But calculated and organized disruption of a website differs from individual disagreement and spontaneously diverging responses or comments on BD's selections, and requires an organized and more effective remediation. Organized social media and trollfarms funded by disruptive agencies, funders and countries are now recognized as more than an annoyance. Again, Bird Dog should make inquiry to the FBI or other agencies investigating external social media disruption, about the activities, organization and funding of the zaktroll farm. Of course its up to Bird Dog, but my suggestion is that he owes it to himself, his Maggies Farm ranchhands, and his readers, to investigate apparent calculated meme-organized disruption of his site.
