This is my 'red letter' day. I finally got an internet troll to respond.

A guy in a Facebook group I am in has been "pooty pootin" a whole lot of anti Clinton rantings - some pretty egregious stuff - under the guise of being a Stein supporter. People either ignore him or just write short, patronizing jabs. I kept asking him (purely out of curiosity) if, as a troll, he was paid by the word or by the post, and did he get a bonus for posting photos. Several tries garnered me no response. So I finally posted the same question, but in 'Google Translate' Russian. Which finally got his obscenity ridden attention.

Unfortunately, he wasn't forthcoming enough to answer my question about the compensation so that is left a mystery.
