Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean the world isn't out to get you.

But please, agent-provocateur has a precise meaning and application-- agent,
meaning agent of the state, i.e. a cop, and it's a way of targeting someone
for payback.

If you have any information that the party in question is a cop, please
share it, if not then don't use the label.  Try some other, non-ideological
characterization to represent your dislike for the person-- like he's wrong,
or he's out of line, or such language cannot be tolerated on the list, etc.
