No way the person who wrote that is from Omaha or Chicago or Milwaukee or St. Louis or anywhere in the US. I knew the guy was a troll but I hadn’t specifically labeled him as a Russian troll until that post. This is the poster who said Mueller has “Nothing, Nada, Zilch.” And people keep taking them seriously, with long, well-thought-out replies. That just get another “Nuuuh-uhhhh…”. I’ve been reading this drivel for a while, so I finally responded: > [@](#): > > Anyone who makes a sweeping pronouncement like “Nothing, Nada, Zilch” has outed themselves as a partisan cheerleader willing to delude themselves, and mislead everyone who’s too ignorant to look up any facts for themselves. > > I will no longer take anything these unprincipled posters say seriously again, and I’m dismayed by the people here who seem to give these talking points validity by marshaling arguments that they hope will be taken to heart in an honest debate.

I knew the guy was a troll but I hadn’t specifically labeled him as a Russian troll until that post. Whatever it is, it is clearly working from the standard troll script.

It’s possible he is a genuine American Trump supporter but doing a C&P job from texts he’s read that are actually by Russian trolls, something he’s too clueless to realize. It would explain the inability to defend positions presented and the tendency to just repeat the same nonsense after it had been thoroughly debunked. ---

That’s the impression I get. But he does seem to put some effort into it, so if he’s a troll he’s not a lazy troll. I’ve resisted opening any of EricaR’s threads, but maybe I’ll take a peak at just one. Sometimes the SD community fulfills my hopes and turns such threads into performance art. But most times there a ready line of eager oversharers. ---

I hate making a judgment call about whether a poster is a troll but once in a blue moon a poster will make a statement that is blatantly false and posted in a way to cause drama. But Textual Assault posts this gem in the MLB July thread: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21083068](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21083068) For those who don’t follow baseball, Machado is no lock to be a HOFer and as much as I hate the Yankees no one in their right mind can say their infield sucks. ---

Yeah, [the more I read](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21085232&postcount=300), the more it feels like he’s: A) Playing a role B) Almost certainly a white racist He’s acting like exactly the kind of black separatist, anti-white racist extremist that would push people away from liberalism, and doing such a bad job of it I can’t help but read it as intentional. ---

I agree with all of the above about Freeman. Either this person actually believes the words typed by hispossessed fingers or they are very insecure and ignorant. Every post is about how terrible all whites are and misguided cites to attempt to support the claims. Not to mention calling whites in general ‘thots’ and ‘hoes’ and being completely dismissive to anyone who doesn’t understand the garbled nonsense spewed through the keyboard on his behalf. Most definitely a troll or someone with a point to prove and failing miserably. ---
