From BrotherNihil's website:

Lately I've been thinking a lot about how one could go about becoming an online Mohammed or Genghis Khan – a great leader who sends forth an army of trolls to conquer web sites for the Religion and the Empire. I don’t think it has been tried, but think it may be possible.

He wasn't kidding about the personal experience.

I say this because I find it quite easy to go to a web site and to begin to control the debate, stir up dissent, refute ideologies, recruit people, or otherwise manipulate the site as I see fit.

Heh... goodluck with that here on LW.

Depending on the level of moderation, this may have to be done subtly, but there is always a way to counter whatever propaganda is being spread at a given site and to inject some of your own counter-propaganda. If one is clever and persistent, one should in this way be able to alter, destroy or co-opt any site according to one's agenda.

I take the crackpottery of his site as evidence to not take much of what he says seriously.
