kook ]
Term used to describe a regular poster who continually posts messages with no apparent grounding in reality .
Different from a troll ,
which implies a sort of sly wink on the part of a poster who knows better ,
kooks really believe what they write ,
to the extent that they believe anything .
The kook trademark is paranoia and grandiosity .
Kooks will often build up elaborate imaginary support structures ,
fake corporations and the like ,
and continue to act as if those things are real even after their falsity has been documented in public .
While they may appear harmless ,
and are usually filtered out by the other regular participants in a newsgroup of mailing list ,
they can still cause problems because the necessity for these measures is not immediately apparent to newcomers ;
there are several instances on record ,
for example ,
of journalists writing stories with quotes from kooks who caught them unaware .
