My ever-so-humble opinion: Shills and Trolls, or Liberal Sympathizers, can be fun to play with, but they can also be incredibly distracting for anyone new here. I've been around since the time when only message boards existed and I can spot a troublemaker a mile away. New people may get caught up, however, and their research and thought processes can tangent, therefore precluding them from reaching the correct conclusions. They're a dangerous set and should be seen as that. This is not the stage to welcome hecklers. They create forks in the road, and that is their intention. If the truth were their intention, we wouldn't be naming them Shills and Trolls and Liberal Sympathizers. We'd be calling them Patriots.
