If he isn’t trolling, he’s just your common garden variety morose teenager who thinks his insights and experience are unique in all the world but hasn’t a clue how big and complex the world actually is.

I’d love to be able to [attribute Machinaforce’s threads to stupidity instead of malice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor), but the blind tenacity with which he defends his ignorance (he has no answers, but neither does any of the people he’s soliciting for answers) practically screams “troll”. Too bad “[Argument Clinic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnTmBjk-M0c)” style debate is the catnip-filled dangly toy of the chronic serial arguers here, because that just feeds his otherwise incompetent trollery.

Yikes. I’d be pretty upset about the frogs if I thought he was real.

That last one is enough on its own. It’s the only one I saw, and it is obviously a troll. Not even the most socially clueless person wonders about that.

As though the only options for those interested in US politics is American or Russian. But I’m definitely NOT Russian, folks! Nosirree.

Well, we all have our little quirks that bring on the kinds of anger issues therein described. I myself, for instance, wish to direct a whole shitload of “injust feelings” towards morons who have yet to learn the function of a keyboard “Shift” key, and to whom this bit of literary esoterica will probably remain a lifelong mystery.

And those maniacs who use ellipses to separate their sentences rather than a period/full stop. My mind sees it as semi-drunk rambling and moves on w/o reading it. Where did people learn to do that and can they be re-educated, please?
