8. There are, unfortunately, a fair number of trolls who seem to have infested this place....

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them came from Discussionist.....to be honest, while it does seem clear that some folks on DU definitely do still have a tendency to exaggerate, if unintentionally, the actual scope of the problem sometimes(perhaps out of exasperation, more than anything, which is, I feel, actually quite understandable, especially for those who may have been subject to the worst attacks), I don't think anyone can deny that the problem certainly is out there, and *is* hurting people.....and, frankly, in my opinion, this place does seem a tad undermoderated at times.

I think it would probably help if Skinner and company could open up moderating and MIRT positions to non-Star members; I know I'd be happy to help rid DU of scumbag trolls, whether fresh out of the box, or deep cover.
