Yeah, this guy totally reminds me of whomever that was that got banned a few months back. Asks a personal question, then doesn’t participate in the thread at all. Like he’s making a list of everyone’s fears/annoyances/revulsions for some creepy database.

I think I’ll just start a few and see if I can collect some personal information.

1\> What was the name of your first pet?  
2\> What is your favorite color?  
3\> Where were you born?  
4\> What is the name of the street you live on?  
5\> What state do you live in?  
6\> What was your first car?  
7\> What is your middle name?  
8\> If you this simple calculation with your age, what number do you get?  
9\> What is your mother’s maiden name?

Eh, I’ll start with that. I’m quite certain that no one could possibly do anything with that kind of information. After all, who gives a shit about such inconsequential details of the lives of strangers? 🆒

Do we get trock removal assist points (TRAPs)? Useable to offset warnings, perhaps?

Yes, it’s not well publicized though. Go to GQ find a nutloaf and tell that nutloaf their head is up their ass.

You’ll get a coupon for a free breakfast at Denny’s instead of a warning. Get the Grand Slam with a side of blueberry pancakes.

Denny’s, huh? I’d rather have the warning.

I’m right there with you.

There are an awful lot of “A Trump supporter said to me; how should I respond?” posts happening there, and I can’t decide whether this is soft trolling or if we’re basically being asked to do someone’s homework for them. I mean, I don’t mind offering informed responses for use against ill-informed nonsense but I can’t get a read on how seriously I should take this.

My trolldar is ringing the alarm on him too. He plants ridiculous gems like the one **John** just linked to, and then pretends innocence.
