Alfishus has a really weird posting pattern. I noted in [this](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20286001#post20286001) thread that he waited 9 months between replies–[here’s a new one](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21166277#post21166277) where he waited 2 months.

Did you report? If true, I will smile broadly when it is cornfielded. After the third strike, can mods call in a drone strike?

Any particular reason you think **Epic** fail is the return of **Terrklohoma** and not one of the approximately 500000 other trolls out there trying to “gotcha!” the liberals?

His focus in a GD thread on the Holocaust and the suffering of the Jews. Just a suspicion, I’m not certain by any means.

When you have, say, a serial mailbox shitter, it’s more comforting to believe that it’s all the work of one person.

Could be there’s a silver lining involved. Guess who hasn’t posted since racking up warning #2.

Epic doesn’t have the weird stilted language usage of Silver lining. And I don’t remember Silver lining repeatedly focusing on the Holocaust and the suffering of the Jews.

True.

Though it is a toss up as to whether it is worse to have multiple people shitting in mailboxes, or just one that really, really likes to shit in mailboxes.

Fair enough.

On the other hand, s/he’s not very _good_ at trolling. I mean, “accepting your god-given sex is the norm”? I’d think someone with significant experience in yanking the Dope’s chain would know to try to look at least somewhat plausible. Just throwing every “pisses off the libruls probably” trope into a blender is a noob mistake. If our new village idiot is a sock, s/he probably hasn’t been at it for long.

My personal preference would be one person who really likes to shit in mailboxes. It’s easier to solve that problem. (We have some interesting discussions here.)

Epic is not TerrOkra I don’t think, because he could go months without getting detected. I’m wondering if E is round 11ty thousand of FJ, whose been through here at least 3 times lately.

Well, I am a little twitchy after your assumption that nothing can be done about The Donald until he’s done serving two terms.

Whoever this new guy is, he’s quite stupid and bad at trying to hide his trolling. I agree that Terr was much better at it.

Has FJ bragged about this anywhere, Sunny?
