Damn…there went another one…just as I was getting ready with a pithy comeback to a great retort. ---

> [@Colibri](#): > > I was replying to one of your posts in that when it went poof. But are you really surprised? Nope … I fully expected it. Just thought that I could finally be the FIRST one to post a meaningless thread about it. Also, I was trying out something that didn’t work and this is the place to do that. Even if it didn’t work. At all. Dammit. ---

I just saw one dissappear. Something titled ‘Is Russia The Key To White Survival?’ in the pit. Are we not old enough to read them? ---

> [@ParentalAdvisory](#): > > Are we not old enough to read them? The combo of your comment and username cracks me right the hell up. Ahem. Why allow lunatic-fringe trolls to spam the place with their lunacy? It just gratifies the trolls and strains the hamsters. ---

Oh I agree, but the thread is gone all together. Aren’t these threads usually locked? ---

> [@ParentalAdvisory](#): > > Oh I agree, but the thread is gone all together. Aren’t these threads usually locked? Depends. I caught this troll pretty quickly. Just happened to be passing the dumpster with some garbage and noticed…“WTF? a new poster named **AmyWantsSex**?” Does that sound like a serious person to you? So I reads the threads and 30 seconds later, she/he’s gone down the rabbit hole. No need to lock. If we discover a troll many days/threads after the fact, we may just lock the threads and leave a long thread there. If we can surgically remove the tumor, that’s what we do. ---

One could only hope. 😉 > [@samclem](#): > > If we discover a troll many days/threads after the fact, we may just lock the threads and leave a long thread there. If we can surgically remove the tumor, that’s what we do. Ok, that’s fine. I thought maybe someone found it offensive and deleted it for no real reason. ---

So, was AmyWantsSex a white supremacist, or just commenting on that stuff, or what? I’ve got a feeling he/she/it will never be back to explain. ---

She or it just posted a quote and a bunch of links without comment, so it wasn’t clear what the intention was. But given the username I wouldn’t bet that she/it had serious intentions.
