Omnibus Trolls R Us Thread

You don’t think posting that *particular *OP in ATMB just as we happen to be having contentious discussions about the way forwards in GD, and what should and shouldn’t be allowed, isn’t a tell?

I have a bridge I’d like to sell you…it does come with one sub-surface inhabitant, though.

And banned, posts wished to the cornfield.

And the cornfield has been fertilized once again.

Dammit, I really wanted to get to the bottom of that clone conspiracy too! :frowning:

For all we know, some of our fellow posters may be clones! How will we ever know now?..

If the posts are cornfielded, that seems more likely to be sock than genuine CT.

Props for the groundwork with the WP site, though. That’s some dedication to their art.

His primary link was also fullahate.

The clone business was nonsense, but the rest of his blogs showed a vicious antisemite, racist, and homophobe.

yeah, but he was completely polite here AFAICT. Which would represent a bit of a shift.

Since when is *any *of that a banworthy thing if it’s offboard (or even if it’s here but polite?)?

I’m not complaining, mind you.

No. That’s also exactly the type of thing a conspiracy theorist would post if they were worried about being banned for posting conspiracy theorist shit. Or even a shizophrenic who had their stuff shut down.

It’s definitely a red flag, don’t get me wrong. You were right to bring them up. The post is very suspicious.

But a tell is that little bit of a slip-up that no one who was sincere would ever post. It’s when I know 100% that the poster is trolling. And I didn’t see that. And, without that, I thought it was too soon to be confident of trollery.

The poster was right on the line where they could be a typical conspiracy theorist, could be a troll, or could have schizophrenia. I would need to see a few more posts to decide. I wish I’d looked at their other posts, but now it seems it is too late.

(I didn’t click the links, however.)

He did manage to blame the clones on the Jews before he was banned. And the Knights of Columbus, if I remember right.

Didn’t see any of that before he was disappeared.

We’ve banned people for linking to such sites. (I have personally.)

From what I could see he was neither schizophrenic nor a troll (in the sense of being insincere in his beliefs). He just had some very screwed up beliefs.

You don’t have to be insincere to be a troll. At all.

Freemasons and Illuminati too.

Sure, but that’s totally reasonable.

I’m definitely **not **a clone.

And neither am I.

He didn’t like Friends either. He said all they did was copulate out of wedlock, so they were conspiring to ruin the sanctity of marriage.
