Your filter sucks. Pro trolls don’t become irrational. They just defuse or disappear.

Only fanboys dig in and defend a subject with senseless arguments once they become emotional.

If you’re trying to come up with a filter, decide: do you want to filter out trolls or just people that are fans of topics that hurt your feelings? Right now it just looks like a filter for any conversation with a human you disagree with.

Yes, they do. They want their followers to behave irrationally, so they lead with it. A group of well considered and thoughtful people can change their mind with new evidence and information.

A pro-troll doesn't want that, they want blind devoted followers that repeat a message blindly, loudly and often.

To me it just reads as a filter for people who aren’t worth arguing with on the internet.

Then it has multiple uses?
