As I recall the single Killgore Trout incendiary comment incident, he clearly let everyone know who he was and why he was making the comments, to see if anyone would police them.

Of course - that’s what makes this ridiculous. Nothing was ever planted by Killgore Trout, he used his own name and made it clear what he was doing and why, and even more to the point - I didn’t put him up to it, or plan it with him. If he’d asked before getting all up in it, in fact, I would have advised against it.

It was kind of an obnoxious stunt, but it certainly got their attention. Hot Air tightened up their moderation a little after that, a tacit admission that KT had a point. The overt racism problem on right wing blogs was getting out of control.

And it’s only gotten worse since then.
