He’s Just Asking Questions. Honest, non-antagonistic questions. By the time he’s reached the end of the paragraph, though, he’s forgotten all about that and has conveniently provided the answers, which turn out to be of a Trumpist variety. Turns out, the real reason Trump won is that he’s so terrific, while liberals are all terrorist-loving jerks supported by liberal media. Brand-new joins frequently offer this sort of in-depth analysis.

Meh, my excuse is that there’s a difference between a really blatant troll and a simple fucking idiot. Based on very limited evidence, I’m willing (for now) to grant the newcomer the benefit of being considered just a slack-jawed simpleton of the kind who defend Trumpsterism by pontificating on the socialism of Obamacare and the deadly threat of Mooslims and furriners while a thin stream of drool dribbles down their chin.

Whatever rocks your boat. It’s just that your post immediately above mine sure seemed like you were calling him a troll. If I misread it, then my bad.

So, a question:

Where the the LW trolls hiding out at? [Yes, I realize they aren’t actually LW or RW anything]

I’ll leave out the long-termers here, but why don’t we get drive by trolls spewing lefty rhetoric, esp. radical lefty stuff? Is it because they lurk here long enough to know that the fact that the board is lefty-leaning will give them more “sustenance”?

[Troll or confused black teenager?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=820537)

Would a confused black teenager ever refer to himself as a confused black teenager?

Perhaps he’s just someone who is lost?

**Clothahump** apparently has come off his suspension, has learned his lesson and has a whole new attitude.

If this is such a crap board, why does he keep posting here?

The mind boggles.

'Cause he’s a clever, witty writer who’s a pleasure to read. I mean, just ask him.

**The Precious Snowflake** says they’re all gone, so he’s evidently not counting himself in that number. The best way for **Clothahump** to improve the board is to stop posting here.

No, “whomever” is correct-ish. Use the he/him rule: if you would use “him”, then “whom” is appropriate. You would not say “… welcome back to he …”

He lost me at “block of text”. What is so hard about punctuation and paragraph breaks?
