6)	The word "troll" is in common usage in Usenet.  However, the
psycholists have adopted it for their own use to apply to anyone who
disagrees with their ingrained and irrational views.  This enables
them to say "ignore him - he is a troll" when faced with facts which
are too unpalatable for the psycholist to contemplate - never mind
discuss in a sensible fashion.

Not everyone who frequents the group URC is a "psycholist".
Psycholists are not very bright in general and are obliged to
demonstrate that they lack common sense; they are very good at this.

A common pseudonym for a "psycholist" is "fuckwit".
