March, My Friends, Was A Good Month For Troll Hunting
I had a feeling I was on something of a roll, and checked back through my in-box today.
I sent nineteen alerts this month on recent sign-ins I thought were trolls; one I alerted twice on, so the number of persons was eighteen. All eighteen of these accounts have been shut off.
On fourteen of these I was the first alerter; on ten of these the jury hid the post and termination followed immediately. On four of these the jury did not hide the post, but the person was terminated anyway. One of these lasted long enough to get off seven posts; he and another managed to last for several days after the alerts. The person I alerted on twice got a pass from the first jury, but was hidden on the second, and then terminated.
On four other occasions I was not the first alerter, but alerted before the initial jury had completed its review. On all of these, the jury hid, and the account was quickly shot off.

Me:
This march was very productive. After doing a considerable amount of legwork and selling in the beginning of the month, I picked up four new clients, one of them quite large in Waltham, and that client alone increased our monthly revenue by about 10%. We purchased a new company vehicle. I conceptualized and began a direct mail campaign, and put one of my trusted employees in charge of it, and gave her a bonus, because she's been loyal and with me a long time, and she deserved a chance to earn more money by becoming more valuable to our organization. I have been consulting heavily with a marketing communications company about reworking our branding strategy which would involve updates to our website, new literature, etc.
I helped my friend remodel a portion of his kitchen. My sister and nieces visited and we spent some time together in Boston. I began researching and trying out new sets of golf clubs that I'm going to buy for Spring. I went to two birthday parties, and one early barbecue at a friends house. Last night, my girlfriend and I met two other couples for dinner and drinks, and then we came home and I banged her like a screen door.

Spent your time helping get eighteen people deleted from Democratic Underground.
