I've written Civil about the "polite troll"...

For example, Tokyo Rose would have never been censored. Unless you trip the switch at Civil for loose use of 4 letter words, it's gonna appear in the comments.

They leave it up to the community is their (staff at Civil) message in a nutshell. It's a work in progress, but I think I was asking too much of the algorithms. Counting too much on the community to decide the trolls from the non trolls.

You could simply spread misinformation politely, w/o cussing. The Russians must be thrilled.
