Kind of like Scientology? Explains Al Gore also.

While your posts have not been rife with content, I get the distinct impression that you’re under the impression that everything in the world is some sort of conspiracy by and for the Clintons + Al Gore, and every conversation is either for or against that world view.

While I’ll grant that this sort of conspiracy theory is maybe slightly less silly than alien abduction theories, and you’re certainly free to view the world however you so wish, I’d at least ask that you respect that all the shady folk who are aligned with the Clinton faction - or at least not actively decrying it from the rooftops - are trying to have a meaningful conspiratorial conversation and your posts are taking up vertical white space and add nothing to the topic.

On the other hand, I congratulate you on choosing a handle which gives fair warning on your mental health.

The fact that this …person has been around since 2001 is astonishing to me.

Trump’s election has brought quite a few dormant trolls out of the woodwork. I think it’s good that they show themselves while they feel empowered to do so.

In the mean time why the hell do so many posters insist on feeding them? When you see a post that was clearly intended to anger you the only way you can ‘win’ is to completely ignore it. Any response, including or even especially starting a pit thread about it, is just giving them what they wanted.

Well, we did/do have a nice omnibus troll thread to make note of these folks. It helps us keep track of them without giving them too much shiny attention.

Sounds more like this person thinks it still is 2001.

Looks like he was already memorialized.
