I was wondering about **femmejean** , too. Where I previously thought **jtur88** was a run-of-the-mill tool, after reading his pit thread, I think he’s intentionally trolling. ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > That was quick. What was he - a “sleeper” troll? To be honest, I think it was me who coined the term in a pit thread from a few years ago and nobody else uses it. Here’s my post [from that thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18851686&postcount=158): [Quote=EinsteinsHund] I call those guys troll sleepers. Sometimes, a poster I never encountered is all over the board with strange or creepy posts, and I look up the join date expecting a recent one, and to my surprise, it’s from, say, 2005. Then I skim their posting history and see only madness. It happens. Maybe a clever way to avoid banning, spread your crazyness in doses over many years. Trolls are a weird species. [/Quote] I still think that definition applies to a good chunk of our regular trolls, it certainly fitted the sadly missed \*\*DopeyPeyote \*\*or whatshisname. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > From the recently released Intel Report on Russian hacking: > > I don’t think we’re immune here at the SDMB. It’s a _very_ sharp social media curve on the Intertubes. As I noticed a month or so ago, despite our steady or dwindling population, we’re easily in the top 500 social media sites, which makes us a target depending on how much resources Russia has to throw at us. You could easily troll the top 100 with a roomful of people and the top 1000 with not much more than that. (Might even be wise to do so if you had so many people assigned to FacePage and RedSpace that they were in danger of being detected and kicked off.) ---
