Trolls are trolls and I'm not sure someone lacking the natural troll urge could be an effective troll solely motivated by a political endgame. I've speculated about whether certain posters are "false flag" posters but the bottom line is either the person is making a valid point or they are not. I don't think alegre is a troll or a paid operative, but her personal motivation for making a ridiculous argument doesn't change the ridiculous nature of the argument.
