I’m not familiar with **Shannon** , but isn’t that also what a _non_-trock would say?

So this “MaverocK” character thinks it is sad, shameful, and evil to discuss the covid deaths of famous people [in the thread about covid deaths of famous people](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=892267). He has a low post count, but [at least one real doozy of a thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=726825).

Resolved: linking to a whole thread instead of the post you’re complaining about should be considered equivalent to trolling.

I did a lookup on **Shannon of** ’s posting history. Registered four months before you, waited more than three years to post. Only four posts, all in the same thread, and on two consecutive days.

Writing style (admittedly with a small sample size) shows a tendency toward run-on sentences, with a lot of subordinate clauses.

Your posts in Politics & Elections amount to slightly less than 15% of your total, and show you to have a differing opinion than **Shannon of** about the America-hating fuckstick.

No, you didn’t say anything similar to what they did. Your sole point of similarity is that you both registered during the same year.

Conclusion: **Shannon of** is NOT a trock of **SuntanLotion**.

**Shannon of** , if a trock at all, is more likely to be a “sleeper troll” who was activated opportunistically when a specific request for a defense of the America-hating fuckstick was posted.

He made more than one post in the thread. Perhaps you could become aquanted with the “find on page” function in your browser?

I can’t disagree with him. Sagan and Salk _should_ have been more famous than any given Kardashian. He just picked the wrong thread to argue the point. Not seeing troll so much as 21-year-old idealistic fool.

Wasn’t on the page you linked to. Maybe link to the first post you concerned about and a note that it continues from there. Wouldn’t be any harder than linking to the thread would it?

I always try to remember that my posts are read more times than they are written.

Link, my fine friend? (ref: Sedowiat)

I nominate Chessic Sense for this [performance](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=894438). Post 1 starts the fun. Post 25 he admits to trolling.

_All_ of his posts. But I can’t link to a search for that because they expire.

And [a fresh GQ thread bump](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=22257372&postcount=66)–pretty incoherent, but it _seems_ to be angrly defending Young Earth Creationism?
