Several proofreaders say trolls will eagerly attack my new essay. Can I hew so close to the truth that I leave no crack they can pry apart?

@paulg if it helps, send it to a small group of trusted troll friends first and let them tear it a new one. Then rewrite add as needed.
@honestduane I don't have troll friends. But I do send things to HN moderator Daniel Gackle, who has internalized them.

@paulg The truth is there is no hard and fast rule for trolls or how to define them. Fact checking your essay uses only some of those skillsThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg your best bet is to stay factual and check the big list of logical fallacies. Gaps in knowledge happen. Just be open to them.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg I can troll when needed. Maybe I don't count as a friend, but I'm happy to help if needed. -
@cperciva Thanks, but the kind I worry about is the ideological/intellectually dishonest kind. - Show replies
