Alas, I doubt he understand anything any of us told him.
FTR, I shall now and forever associate you with the phrase “fuck off”, in the best possible way.

I don’t know whether to file this under troll, odd poster, board glitch, or sock failure.

Yeah, noticed it too. Clear case of confused socks. And classic case of sleeper troll, registered since 2006 but only has started to mightily troll for a few weeks. Will get booted soon…
I was wondering about femmejean, too.
Where I previously thought jtur88 was a run-of-the-mill tool, after reading his pit thread, I think he’s intentionally trolling.

Yeah, slurs are a good way to rack up warnings. What’s next? “Towelheads”?

I suppose they want to go down in flames; but I don’t get why.
New Year’s resolution?
Fuck off doorhinge, you basic shit eating troll.

I finally googled JugearS, because curiosity got the better of me. Looks like doorhinge found a new word. Can we at least get some higher quality asshats? These aren’t even a step up from Facebook trolls.
From the recently released Intel Report on Russian hacking:
"Moscow’s influence campaign followed a Russian messaging strategy that blends covert intelligence operations – such as cyberactivity – with overt efforts by Russian government agencies, state-funded media, third-party intermediaries and** paid social media users or ‘trolls,**’ " the report found.
I don’t think we’re immune here at the SDMB.

We didn’t even have a chance to place bets.

Binge watching the first 3 seasons of Emergency!?
That was quick. What was he - a “sleeper” troll?
His light is still on.

To be honest, I think it was me who coined the term in a pit thread from a few years ago and nobody else uses it. Here’s my post from that thread:

I call those guys troll sleepers. Sometimes, a poster I never encountered is all over the board with strange or creepy posts, and I look up the join date expecting a recent one, and to my surprise, it’s from, say, 2005. Then I skim their posting history and see only madness. It happens. Maybe a clever way to avoid banning, spread your crazyness in doses over many years. Trolls are a weird species.

I still think that definition applies to a good chunk of our regular trolls, it certainly fitted the sadly missed **DopeyPeyote **or whatshisname.

It’s a very sharp social media curve on the Intertubes. As I noticed a month or so ago, despite our steady or dwindling population, we’re easily in the top 500 social media sites, which makes us a target depending on how much resources Russia has to throw at us. You could easily troll the top 100 with a roomful of people and the top 1000 with not much more than that.
(Might even be wise to do so if you had so many people assigned to FacePage and RedSpace that they were in danger of being detected and kicked off.)
We have a live one: Weisshund
