I dunno, a 9/11 troll can help to knit the community together.

I haven’t been on the same side of things with Shodan and Clothahump and Magiver on pretty much anything on this board, but here we all are, discovering that we do in fact have common ground.

I thought [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=839202) by **Okrahoma** was going to be a confession.

The WaPo has an [article](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/democracy-post/wp/2017/10/17/how-the-russians-pretended-to-be-texans-and-texans-believed-them/?utm_term=.43b1dc7a4409) about a Russian Facebook group named Heart of Texas. Again mentions poor English language skills as a red flag. Trump voters aren’t really good at noticing those kind of things.

I notice **Jay\_Jay** has the same name as another poster, **jayjay**. I wonder how long before he’s asked to change his name. If he sticks around, that is.

I suspect he’s bailed. Two warnings for not dropping the repeating of talking points and being ordered to start explaining what he was spouting.

I don’t know how that _can’t_ be construed as trolling.  
Or unless if he’s just considered to be that much of an obtuse milksop, then.

I don’t know if I’ve had as much fun lately as I have watching **Jay\_Jay** try not to ask another question… I mean, I knew he couldn’t answer the questions that others had asked him, but I figured behaving would be nearly impossible. And I was not disappointed.

(If I had super mod powers for a week, I’d drop into a **Shodan** thread and say “Ok, no ‘Regards’ for the rest of the week.” And no one could use a Liberal straw man in a thread, so **Brickie** and **Starvin’** might be out… and I’d buy a Mjolnir-sized banhammer for anyone who threw anything in a quarry.)

He’s [BAAAAAAaaaak](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20546246&postcount=1117)! And before we even got to miss him, too.

NB: Same thread.

And he’s suspended, probably until the banning process is complete.

Given the way they are suddenly live after not having posted for a while, I hold at least some suspicion that someone else is using that account.

I was a bit surprised there wasn’t even a note about seemingly spamming.

The very specific aspects of the question (such as height and weights of everyone involved) seem very much like the style of a certain banned poster who also liked to ask sexual questions.

Hundreds of posts and I still don’t know what his viewpoint was, other than “free fall”.
