I still don’t understand why people engage with **Okrahoma**. In the few times I bother to react to him I assume he’s some bored ex-pat somewhere in Macedonia who enjoys getting paid to troll message boards with right-wing bullshit. ---

[Here’s a website tracking](http://dashboard.securingdemocracy.org/) the activity of Russian bots - funny how Okrahoma’s talking points tend to track with what’s trending from them. Currently, the fourth “trending URL” down is about Comey “committing perjury”, for example. ---

Naw, Stone is far too profane. Okrah comes here like somebody on a job - regularly scheduled, always on point, goes away again for 16 hours only to show up for another 8 hour shift. ---

I wonder if y’all with highly developed trolldar (i.e. not clueless me) could create a fresh thread where the posts just list your suspects with no comments and no dupes. So by looking at just a few recent posts one could get a table of contents of the current suspects. Here we are at post #3500+ in this otherwise fun thread and I don’t have a practical way to know who’s on the Unofficial Official Shit List. 🙂 ---

I keep thinking we should call it “knitting club” or something innocuous to keep it a little less conspicuous. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omnibus-trolls-r-us-thread/755489.md?page=176) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/omnibus-trolls-r-us-thread/755489.md?page=178)
