Anyone know who this troll guy is? He sure hates Mark Sisson! Can't you block his IP address or something?

Real paleos need Sisson and Taubes like a fish needs a bicycle. – thhq Aug 17 at 14:00

Sisson's is the single most popular paleo site on the Internet. He's done more good for more people than most of us could ever dream of. – Tyler F Aug 17 at 14:01
Serious infestation of trolls this morning... – Dave S. Aug 17 at 14:03

Taubes isn't paleo. Sisson is Primal. But I take the information they put out and process it. This stuff is too complicated to only have one point of view. @Razz, the fact that Sisson is not an MD doenn't bother me at all. He has real world experience and he is pretty careful. Also, there are plenty of MDs who are congruent with Sisson (Harris, McGuff, Deans, Eades). I'm not saying everything that they say is correct, you have to do the work and come to your own conclusions, but there are plenty of doctors that get it. Drs. Harris and Deans are not profitting from paleo afaik. – Dave S. Aug 17 at 14:09
You can't take Razz at face value. He is projecting his inward image onto others. – Monte Aug 17 at 15:17

Ah, so the anti-vegan rhetoric continues! Some vegans are annoying, but leaping to this conclusion for a "lol" is just bigotry. Some paleo folks are pretty effing annoying too. – Christopher Gagnon Aug 17 at 23:17

From what others have posted, it sounds like they cannot block him without inadvertently blocking other people as well.

Best thing to do is just flag the spam and ignore the troll.

Also, don't waste downvotes on him, just flag him. He obviously doesn't care about votes. – Todd B Aug 17 at 13:26
Why downvote him? Having pundits is a neolithic practice. You don't need Sisson to be paleo. He doesn't own Grok. – thhq Aug 17 at 13:59

I think he does own Grok along with Primal – Poop Master MC Aug 17 at 20:45
Looks like someone named McBride owned Grok but abandonded it. trademarks.justia.com/784/33/grok-78433000.html – thhq Aug 17 at 22:48

I don't really think this guy hates Sisson. I liken it to being a football fan. You love the game but hate all the other teams.

While we may not like the message, or in this case the tactics, of people who have a different approach to living a healthy lifestyle and are working to get their message out you can't blame him for pushing his own belief.

Diet/Lifestyle is a multi-billion dollar business around the world. Plenty of money to go around so I say the more the merrier. I can also say that because I have only ever purchased one paleo book and that will be all I ever need.

AC has written some interesting stuff about this particular individual! Funny dude with a lot of energy (raz), but as said already, shouldn't be taken seriously!

Between this cretin and that damn popup that won't die, this site is becoming a pain in the ass, which is a real pity.

Install Chrome (google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser), Install Ad Block (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/…), problem solved! – CS Aug 17 at 21:58

Some fat tub of lard who could not comprehend 2nd grade math let alone the laws of physics. Slupring down gallons of animal fat along side slabs of fatty beef and fried foods with diet soda doesn't work. A fat a$$ pOs living in mommys basement.,

I agree. We need to make room in paleo for the REAL thing - people like Jimmy Moore, for example. Without Jimmy there wouldn't even BE a Sisson (or a Wolf).

Getting back to the question at hand, how are we supposed to deal with this kind of crap? Is there a way for me to see only questions that don't have the "trolls" tag, say? I think it's important to note that obviously this person wants to partially disable this site, and to the extent that people are giving up on it because of him, he's succeeding. We don't want this to happen.

You have to admit that Melissa leaving WAS a pretty nice ancillary benefit of the troll... – CICO Suave Aug 19 at 6:25
