• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Is this Forum the Target of a Sub Rosa Operation?

Did you ever notice new threads that have the following in common:

1. Started by a very new member
2. Who is often young and/or inexperienced but has admirable/lofty life goals.
3. Asks about a contentious subject
4. With an easily found answer
5. That the he thinks is unfair or doesn't apply to him/his circumstances
6. Or that he will address by foolish, if not unlawful behavior
7. And after receiving several consistent replies, he repeats or restates the same question in a different manner
8. After a few days to a week, he disappears and is never seen again (under that name)

Is it far fetched to think that individuals or groups with goals at odds with opencarry.org would engage
in such behavior, perhaps hoping to provoke an outrageous or emotional reaction?

Pretty common all over the interwebs when kids are out of school for the summer.

Not at all.
It is no secret that there are paid trolls.

Where can I sign up?

LOL Paid by who and with what money? Loosen your chin strap, there's no wind in your mom's basement to blow your tinfoil helmet off.
I think I see one now...
