"A couple of the most persistent and virulent trolls in one technical
newsgroup were both members of the Institute for Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), posted with their real names, and often

to engage other readers respectfully as peers, they often had subjective
opinions that were sometimes even demonstrable falsehoods easily
rebuttable by provable facts."
