> [@gnoitall](#): > > A handle like “truthseeker2” is an obvious troll tell. Whether a sincere fuckhead or an intentional troll, the pseudonym alone seems like a good reason to presume trollish intent. Actually the original poster **Truth Seeker** seemed like a pretty okay guy :). Sadly he was one of those that dropped out during the board’s ill-advised pay-to-post era( 2004, I think ). ---

TPTB is perfectly capable of recognizing a good revenue stream when the hear it suggested, and then where would we be? Lots of well-fed trolls. OTOH, maybe less malvertising. Maybe. (Not.) ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > [Also Fotheringay-Phipps](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=840553)? I don’t have much tolerance for pedantry, and that guy has it coming out of his ears. I feel like I should make an effort to understand that way of thinking better, because I don’t think he’s necessarily unfair in most cases, he just cares about the minutiae of arguments on a level I can’t comprehend. I feel the same way about people who get obsessed with legal technicalities. All politics aside, it’s just the opposite of how my brain operates. But he once took a really rude snipe at me in the Pit for no apparent reason (of the condescending variety, my god nothing pisses me off more than being condescended to) and ever since, I’ve felt less inclined to defend him. Either way, I don’t see him as anything like **Okra**. My god, \*\*Okra \*\*is gone? ---

As a new poster, I am shocked and chagrined that no one has suggested I am a troll. I hope there is at least a mention in an invisible thread in the mod forum with an eyebrow raise or stamp of disapproval. Anyone who doesn’t rub _someone_ the wrong way, is doing posting wrong. 😛 ETA: No tongue-out smiley? Outrage I tell you! ---

> [@AI\_Proofreader](#): > > As a new poster, I am shocked and chagrined that no one has suggested I am a troll… You really need to work at it to get accused of trollery. There’s enough Harmless Whacko-ness here, that many of us just get a head-shake… or we don’t get noticed at all. That’s my goal. I’ve said stupid stuff here, but no one seems to care. Whew! ---
