Meh, these things aren't really advanced enough to do much yet. It's part of why I never read the "Comments" section of anything. They can't compete in or take part in any sort of two-way communication. Just act as a choir of anonymous yes-men.
Plus those web profiles don't stand up to anything more than cursory scrutiny.

Apart from their IP-address shenanigans, I can do all of that.
I can even do them one better—I can create personas with distinct quirks.
So basically, I just need to learn to use proxies, and I've got a troll's swiss army toolkit.
