I've been here for about a week & a half, and trolls have all but made a point of making me a 'target'. I don't mind myself, because my posts are 'controversial'. I've battled trolls for years online, so it's a staple for me to fight with them. How do I KNOW they are trolls? For one thing, look at their blogs. Usually they rank low with few posts, but a LOT of negative comments. Their actual followers are nil because they really don't care about their rep here. They almost always say the same d@mned thing all the time no matter what the post is about, and they dump 'political spam' in the comments as well, if their materials would actually garner anything then they would post them instead of dropping in my comments. Then there are the Condescenders, those that love to talk down to you. Finally you've got the Flamers & Flaggers, Flamers loving to launch personal attacks on you, and Flaggers that make it a point to flag your posts & comments. Steemit really needs to deal with these Trolls. All they are doing is detrimenting the platform. I love drawing them in like flies just to prove a point! Also, if you are being 'stalked' by trolls then please get a hold of me I'm always willing to help!
