If dude\_roberts is a dictionary definition troll he’s created a pretty good persona for it. He reads like an overly imaginative and precocious child who doesn’t like his hypotheticals refuted and will just keep coming up with ridiculous further arguments to cling to the idea that it wasn’t a stupid question to start with. I mean, one minute he’s asking how drug dealers stay in business, which was slightly weird and not well thought through, but not _completely_ unreasonable, and next he’s positing that they should all have been put out of business a long time ago by Bond villains with private freight ships and helicopters … [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=826183](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=826183) ---

He certainly reads as something. One of the very few times I want to ask personal questions, how old, grade appropriate, etc. The stream of ideas in that thread was just weird. Could a child of the right age to think in that manner, have any sort of vocabulary? ---
