Not on purpose. I try to avoid overtly naming the trolls here because then they do a search for their name and come to this thread to troll. It’s more fun to talk about them without them butting in.

[Check out this discussion on the Employee Free Choice Act from 2008](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=494491&highlight=employee+free+choice&page=10&styleid=12). Keep in mind that this is page 10 of a very intense discussion with lots of offered citations and information being offered in a good-faith debate. Then he lets it drop (page 10, Post #469) that nothing would ever change his mind that unions are bad, despite him re-confirming just a few posts earlier (on page 9, Post #445) that he had an open mind about things and was sincerely trying to understand the issues.

I have no idea why the Mods at the time didn’t ban him for trolling right then, and now 12 years later he’s still here, trolling.

Wow, 12 years later, you really hold a grudge.

He who identified the face was banned [twice](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21142726&postcount=990). Just sayin’.

I feel confident that the poster who authored #10772 is someone’s sock, based on their behavior. Whose I cannot guess, but I smell hosiery (no, not out of kink or habit).

So, a certain fan of pinstriped baseball has gotta be a troll, right? Perhaps from a large nation straddling two continents?
