"A couple of the most persistent and virulent trolls in one technical
newsgroup were both members of the Institute for Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), posted with their real names, and often
made references to this affiliation as proof of their expertise, as well
as the correctness of their arguments. In addition to not being willing
to engage other readers respectfully as peers, they often had subjective opinions that were sometimes even demonstrable falsehoods easily
rebuttable by provable facts."
