For a rather more subtle troll, I give you [Alexidsa](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=808156). After his/her first couple of posts I had little doubt what the real agenda was, especially when pedophilia was casually dropped in. But it was just within plausible deniability and anyway I couldn’t really call it out in that thread. I’m doing so here. So if s/he comes back with another “raising funds to take the message on the road” thread (the first attempt was shut down for failure to follow the rules) I hope people don’t fall for it. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > Not just whiny but apparently incapable of critical thinking. It’s getting old fast. True. No artistry, no flair. Contributing nothing into the canon of trollery. Really, no discernible effort even. Honestly, it’s like he’s just mailing it in. Like he’s (poorly) programmed a bot to keep at the desultory, passive-aggressive, less-than-half-assed trolling for… what purpose? Keep in the game? Keep up appearances? Maybe he fired up the trollbot and then faded away, like a pathetic version of the doomsday machine meme? Tiresome. Not worth clicking. Absolutely not worth replying to. ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > To be fair, **JRD** was the first to mention pedophilia. True (I had missed that before). But JRD mentions it along with several other things in passing in post 25. The OP brought up pedophilia as a possible sexual orientation in post 51. It’s difficult to see any connection between those two posts except the apparently incidental one of sequence. Further evidence that the agenda in that thread was not honest is that, once the attempt to raise money to “spread the word” about this issue was spiked, this poster has not returned. OK, it’s only been 5 days, so we’ll wait and see. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > Prime trollery from an old hand, > Seriously? What the ever-loving fuck is that? It’s one of the more enlightened ones of his tribe. Notice that he very politely referenced “roving gangs of black people” instead of using the conventional n-word. And he gives the fearsome blacks some credit here: all his friend had to do to be safe was get a black dude to accompany him. A less enlightened bigot would believe that the roving gangs would beat up both of them, the white guy for being white, and the black dude for being with him. The blacks, of course, were emboldened to beat up on whites because Obama won the election, having pledged that he hated the white race and promising to throw them out of the country if he was elected. Thus we can see that the analogy with Trump is most excellent in its astuteness. ---

Finally. I only reported that thread on meaning in life three times for trollery based on his absolute refusal to accept any answer and his jerkish manner about it. Pretty simple basis for calling it trolling; 1\> Pose a difficult question about Life. 2\> Keep telling everyone their answers are meaningless / refuse to accept them. 3\> There is no #3. You do those two things, you’re a fucking TROLL. ---

He does have a very very tiresome persona. Some trolls dance and sing a merry jig to keep you entertained. He just goes into his “Brain the size of planet and what’s the use” routine.
