Nice diagnosis doctor assface.

Check the research.

Basically, ADHD isn't being able to sit still for a long time, it's not being able to focus on things that aren't fun.

For most brains, being able to get through say, homework, isn't a problem. You just sit down, figure, it's going to take about 20 minutes to do all the math problems and you go play video games.

For someone with ADHD, the brain is constantly craving rewards. So video games, movies, etc. all basically jam a fork into the pleasure centers of the brain. So ADHD kids can sit still and enjoy the fuck out of it. When the gears shift, and into say work mode, there's nothing jamming against the pleasure center and the mind loses focus.

Culture snooping of the 50's and 60's?

Yes, I'm aware of it.

But the sheer number of internet comments and flamewars really makes me think you're really off base here. Given the sheer size of that operation, there would have to be numerous agents handling all of the traffic on the internet. Someone would say something. Conspiracies of that size are really hard to hide.

I love the notion of troll types. Makes them seem SciFi/Fantasy somehow.

The behavior of Type 3 trolls is so vague that I don't think it's relevant. It's like when supplement companies say, "It promotes wellness." What the hell does that even *mean*? Who gets to decide what is and what isn't?

If you think the Government is harassing people with decent points on internet message boards, and that you've been painted as, "crazy"(your words, not mine)... Maybe you should reconsider things.

If I was a paid government shill, I wouldn't be taking public transport to work everyday. I'm hoping shilling for the federal government is big money.

You have a really far out concept of what trolling is.

You don't have a legitimate point. In context to the article, we're talking about people who have been posting grotesque pictures of sexual violence on Jezebel.com. It's also talking about people who are harassing Zelda Williams over her father's death.

So, I honestly have no goddamned idea what you're talking bout. So, citation needed.

Winning in an online argument because you're going up against a kook who doesn't even know they're a kook it isn't trolling. It's debating.
