I think the telling part of that quote is this:

In previous instances I’ve tried to view things generously when possible but there is no longer any doubt.

Here’s trolling 101, literally the most basic way to troll a community: pop up in a thread, throw out a stupid, inflammatory, ill-informed statement, like, oh, say…

> [@Thank you to senators Murkowski, Collins and McCain](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thank-you-to-senators-murkowski-collins-and-mccain/792328/10):
