it's definitely a mix. I think that's what makes it hard to get some of the long-term trolls who do a good job of stirring. It's the same with the Rand Paul stuff. No telling how much is pot stirring and how much is dedicated RP forum folks thinking they might actually win over some people to their ideas. It can be frustrating.
