My fellow trolls:

David Horton - one of Arianna's nobody contributors at the HuffPost - has finally cracked under our pressure:

...So the Right have gone back to the tactic of employing Thought Police. Not on the streets now, don't need them there, but on the progressive blogs. We call them trolls on HuffPo, but they are as much like thought police as the Stasi of the former East Germany, and as much like Religious Police as the ones the Taliban employed. Their presence has long puzzled posters and bloggers alike. What on earth are they doing here? Why not stick to the right wing blogs where they would be welcomed with open arms? But this is to misunderstand their nature. Watch them on topics like global warming, religion, conservation, the rights of gays, minimum wages, gender equity, Hollywood, guns, socialism, abortion, the United Nations. Recognise the tone and the fury. Recognise the purity of belief, Recognise the absolute refusal to allow any deviation from their beliefs to be discussed. Feel the white hot rage that they express as their rigid beliefs are challenged. They are not here to learn, and they may not even be here to be paid. They don't have black uniforms and long sticks, but they do have the mad staring eyes of the fanatic, and they do have keyboards...

Needless to say, he continues.
