1539 Troll Accusations In One Week On DKos!

Modern McCarthy-ism running rampant on DKos.

The Great Troll Scare is turning normally calm and peaceful lefties into a paranoid mob of thought censors.

Accusing a blogger of trolling used to mean the blogger was being disruptive by posting off-topic remarks or by spreading lies.

But, DKos appears to have morphed the concept into a mob-rules group-think mechanism. So rampant are the accusations that most diaries now have near 100% agreement in reader responses.

The 1539 troll accusations tops discussions on the economy, Afghanistan, the troops, crime, immigration and Islam. Many DKos members now spend almost half their time either making troll accusations or defending themselves from troll accusations.
