Meanhoo, saw this guy on the newest poster queue at the bottom of the board last night, and noted the troll-ish handle.

Yep:

But oh, he’s just complaining about a (5 year old) blog post. Must be totally innocuous.

His questions, almost all of which are about cosmology, seem innocuous on the surface, but sometimes a true troll will start off sounding like a reasonable poster, but even from the start there will be something that is…off about their posting style. Eventually the Dark Side will bubble to the surface, and their posts start to become more confrontational (if not incoherent).

Even better, [he gets sarcastic](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20384231&postcount=5) when it’s pointed out that his questions can be trivially answered via Google.

Really, the only response any of his GQ questions deserve is the “Here, let me Google that for you” script, which ends with “There! That wasn’t hard, was it?”.

And he started a thread asking about White Holes, and when someone asked for a specific definition so we could address his specific questions, he refused. And said that anyone smart enough to know the answer would be smart enough to just know exactly what he meant. Sheesh…

**staniel** is back at it with this [jaunty little stanza on false rape accusation](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=832610).

Any bets on whether he moves on to circumcision? Might be climate change. So many topics, so little time.

Why would they? There’s nothing outrageous about their suppositions.

Unless you really hate UC and their Bearcats?

He seems to hate unions and cops, but lots of people do. He’s never struck me as being a troll.

Could be troll, but also could be some idiot who found a new toy. If the latter, one only hopes he tires quickly and moves on somewhere else. I can see the next thread:

What is a a molecule?

Those don’t necessarily make him a troll. He could actually believe the things he’s posting.

That sounds like more of an **Abashed** thang:  
How many protons does it take to change a lightbulb?

Electrons have spin, but do they also toil?

If my brain is mostly empty space, where do I come up with these questions?
