The fact the poster went on and on, so fucking ad nauseam, about such a ridiculous (and ultimately irrelevant to the OP) premise, to me, constituted trollery. I remember that recent thread, but it also reminded me of this older one about whether or not a president should return salutes from military personnel. [I got a tad snarky](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=15946145#post15946145) at post 65 and lance armstrong insisted on taking the subject seriously, so we were off to the races, culminating in one of my most proud-ish moments on this board at post 103. But as for someone showing OCD about a trivial matter, I’m not sure that should count as trolling. It might be a symptom of actual, well… OCD. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > I disagree with the entire list, given that it’s supposed to be a list of trolls. My contempt for **Clothahump** is as broad as the ocean and twice as deep, but I swear to God, I get one more reported post 'cause he went into a thread that’s wall-to-wall “You suck for voting Trump,” and posted, “No, you suck for voting Clinton!” I’m gonna start banning people at random. It’s the fucking Pit, people. You’re _supposed_ to be assholes to each other in here. > > The same goes for **OMG!** and **doorhinge** , double for **octopus** and **aldiboronti** , and whoever suggested **HurricanDitka** should take an ax to their computer before they post stupid again. I’m sure all of these people have been reported as trolls before. It comes with having such an unclear trolling policy for the Pit, and the fact that these guys are fucking assholes. (I’m also aware that at least one person has reported me as a troll before. A long-term poster who was so sure I’d get in trouble he bragged about it on another board.) But I don’t think that anyone in this thread is saying these people are breaking the rules. As you’ve admitted, some trolling is allowed in the Pit. Hell, I was once lectured by **Colibri** about how he could call someone a troll in the Pit but not think they violated the anti-trolling rules. ---

I’ve come to realize that the conservatives here aren’t trolls. They merely work on an alternative set of facts. ---
