OMG, those threads are so fucking predictable, you can get it in one only by reading the title, and if you’re not convinced yet that’s it the same boring relationship/dating troll shit, read the half-literate OP, then check the join date. And still every time some people take it at face value. It’s to laugh.

This was the post in question:

> Does President Trump use private “goon squads” to deal with people who displease him somehow?

You are right. Looking at his whole posting history, for the most part I don’t see a large history of trolling, but this particular post was poorly constructed at best, and trolling at worst. There’s an ATMB thread on it now. It’s an inflammatory statement thrown out without any supporting evidence.

I’ll retract my “troll” label, for now, pending further evidence.

In the end he went all “Yo, I am having aberrant sex with your female relations” which is effective if you and your audience are 14 but not so much otherwise.

I don’t know if this guy’s trolling, ignorant, or just obsessed, but he thinks Edward Rice Burroughs’ estate should let go of their trademark on Tarzan and let it go into the public domain just because they’ve “had it long enough.”

Someone with the initials KKK in their username? Maybe they’re just a fan of Krusty’s Komedy Klassics. 😃

Poster making claim that white males are underrepresented in a movie has the initials “KKK”-nothing suspicious _there_. :rolleyes:

Here’s one who is hopefully short-lived. Edg 52 [woke](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20088682#post20088682) a 13-year old zombie about when art crosses into pedophilia with a completely unrelated comment on a teacher arrested 13 years ago for forcing a student to undress. When that thread was shut down, s/he opened a [new thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=822372) asking what fantasies women have about children. So far everyone is too squicked out to reply.

Sure, maybe they just have a scientific curiosity about pedophilia and will turn out to be a good contributor to the board. Or maybe not.

I don’t think so, or maybe this thread is just one tool in the arsenal. There are some that have lasted an astoundingly long time after being mentioned in this thread. Some are even still here.

No list of trolling is complete without [aldi’s latest nonsense](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=822319): “Shouldn’t Muslims be a little more understanding about the Crusades?”

I, for one, am looking forward to his follow-on thread, “Why can’t Muslims accept being discriminated against today?” That one will surely be a hoot.
