Adaher, Ramira, spinky? Yeah, spot on! Good job, trollhunters! Me? Call me whatever you want. If you wanna believe I’m a troll, go ahead. ---

You’re one of the half-witted tentpegs who has yet to understand the difference between being a \*\*troll \*\*and **trolling**. 2 different things that are not terribly hard, for people with an IQ located anywhere other than the leftmost 1/3 of the IQ bell curve, to understand. It’s not all your fault Puddin’. Blame mother nature. ---

How were they ‘trolling’ (as opposed to being trolls, edumacated one)? Are you conflating ‘trolling’ with being dense and partisan beyond reason (Adaher)? With being a tad (okay, a bit more than a tad) harsh and combative (Ramira)? With finally managing to reset their password and reviving a pit thread (Spinky)? ---

What, when and where something is posted all become part of the equation. If you don’t already know this, I’m not really interested in helping you keep up with the class here. I’d suggest you go to a less complicated board. I hear lesserwrong is really good forum for people like you. ---

If you don’t already know this, I’m not really interested in helping you keep up with the class here. I’d suggest you go to a less complicated board. I hear lesserwrong is really good forum for people like you. I remember the context of all those situations and I wouldn’t call what they posted, in those situations, trolling. I’m asking you why you insist on calling it trolling. ---

I’d suggest you PM **Miller** , the Pit mod and ask him if he has any room for you on the list. If he does, then ask how soon he’ll be assigning a Pit tutor for you. He’s pretty generous with requests from noobs seeking Pit tutors. Either that, or start back at page 60 and read forward. We pretty well define them when we call them. I’m not bothering. You can sit down now. ---

F-P is Phlipp-Phlopping _hard_ in the [Explain Nunes Memo](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=847669) discussion. I would have called him out on it, but [1] I’m not really involved in the discussion, and [2] it is in GD. Definition of Phlipp-Phlopping: > [@Aspenglow](#): > > It cracks me up how you always fold like a shitty poker hand whenever someone refutes your posts with actual facts. That’s why I enjoy doing it. Please keep posting your fatuous “refutations.” They are wonderfully amusing.

Definitely the latter. > > It’s possible that said returning nitwit really is just doing what a nitwit does in a nitwit world, but it’s more probably the said nitwit was an account hijack. As in could have bought an old computer, whatever, from the original account holder. Old backups with apps all having common passwords? Either way, the nitwit part is correct. Honestly, if it were me, I’d just reset all the old passwords of long inactive users from who haven’t been back since the hack. . If someone really is the person they claim to be, they’ll probably need to reset the password again anyways, and they can get an email notification if they still use the same email. Sure, if they don’t, they’d need to talk to a mod, but that’s not that big a price to pay. And most would have to anyways, since they wouldn’t know their password. That is, assuming that, with this database, that is technically practical.
