I tend to be pretty hesitant about calling people trolls. But **Quicksilver** seems to have caught a genuine Russian troll: > [@Joe Biden assault accusation part 2](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/joe-biden-assault-accusation-part-2/853366/260): > > > [@Joe Biden assault accusation part 2](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/joe-biden-assault-accusation-part-2/853366/259): > > > > Talking about the strategist who worked to keep rapist Harvey Weinstein clean now working for Biden: > > [Anita Dunn is her name](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A0%D0%B8%D0%B4,_%D0%A2%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0) > > Comrade, in Mother Russia, slip show you. I’m having trouble thinking of a more plausible explanation. ---

And his corrected link is barely any more relevant than the Russian one about some unrelated American actress. It doesn’t really say anything much, but once all the details emerged around the Weinstein situation years later, it turns out that Anita Dunn’s so-called “work[ing] to keep rapist Harvey Weinstein clean” consisted in its totality of the following phone conversation: Weinstein: Listen, Anita, a lot of bad things are being said about me and I need your PR firm’s help. Dunn: Fuck off, pervert. I never want to talk to you again. But let us not be too hasty in accusing Comrade Manwich of being a _ **Russian** _ troll. All we know for sure is that he is troll who spends much time ogling Americanski actresses on Russian websites. ---

ETA: NM, it’s in the pit, actually an appropriate place for that type of post and poster. Thought it was another GD thread. ---

(Sorry I’m behind) With the mod saying that they understood, I’m not sure why they’re still able to post here. They don’t even have an explanation for why they suddenly know Russian.

Last I checked, there is nothing in the user agreement that says that you are required to not know Russian. And QS’s profile lists that he/she lives in Japan–which is right next door to Russia. ---

Slightly adjacent to topic: folks often talk about “the usual suspects” here, usually meaning right-wing posters and/or suspected trolls. When I think of that term I think of the posters who just cannot resist feeding the most obvious troll, even to the point of posting this: > [@Police officer applications will decline for a long time.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/police-officer-applications-will-decline-for-a-long-time/854716/4): > > There isn’t enough of an OP here to bother to reply to. If there’s no value in replying, how about NOT replying? How about NOT giving attention where it is not due. So the usual suspects, to me, is a bunch of morons who can’t resist trying to have the last word. ---

I don’t want to name the one-and-done poster in question and the thread has been cornfielded but I have to admit a certain amount of amusement at the person who popped into ATMB to present an incoherent screed announcing that he had been paid to put a curse on one of the mods (and his “progency”) in the name of “justice for **Shodan** ”. I didn’t see how that ended but I assume the mod in question hasn’t spontaneously combusted or started suddenly losing weight or anything over the weekend. ---
