I've reported this guy to MODs but hes been harassing pedes here on and off for at least 2 weeks.

This is almost certainly paid shill work. The basic idea is to be aggressively ignorant and maybe rude as a way to bait helpful people into a discussion that the shill will ensure is as mentally exhausting, infuriating, and inevitably fruitless as possible.

The idea behind the strategy is that you can prevent the growth of a community by targeting the 'naturally helpful' people you hope to make the community less hospitable and so joining becomes less desirable.

This is boring and tedious, since the shills goal is to waste your time and mental energy on him instead of a genuine community member, so to do any real harm with this method requires many shills over a long period of time. Hardly something anyone does for fun.

This is almost certainly paid shill work. The basic idea is for the shill to make false statements as bait to target the naturally helpful subgroup of people that are most responsible for growth in most any online community.

This is almost certainly paid shill work, I know this because hes posing as I'll informed to target the naturally helpful subgroup that are most responsible for any small community growth and retention.

This is boring and tedious, as well as morally bankrupt and cowardly. People who are ideologically possessed enough to come here and cause trouble want a quick dopamine hit and to be done with it.
