I wonder why Discourse isn’t catching this guy before their posts go live at this point. I would have expected that, once you ban someone, any other attempts from that IP would be automatically held for moderator approval. And I would imagine most VPNs would be similarly held up as possible spam. This makes me curious if this is a tech savvy poster who knows how to get around stuff like that. ---

> [@wolfpup](#): > > Maybe I’m naive, but I’m with those who think she’s not a troll, but she’s spectacularly uninformed, and there’s definitely some Dunning-Kruger stuff going on here. She thinks we’re all being mean to her because she’s “just asking questions”. Except she isn’t, really. She posts long assertive screeds and then gets upset when it’s pointed out that it’s nonsense. She just did it again in that same Nazi scientists thread – posting a lengthy string of gibberish and then saying “I’m just guessing” as if that excuses it. I have a right-wing (older female, if that’s relevant) relation like this - she will post absolute nonsense copied from Newsmax or wherever and then, when presented by evidence that it’s nonsense, will say “Well, it’s just my opinion” as if that’s a defense. ---

So **shh1313** plays the credulous JAQ-off card about post-WW2 operation Paperclip and JFK’s assassination. But while cooking, she takes time to peruse SEC filings of major pharmaceutical companies. I guess fishing off the back of a slow moving boat leaves her with lots of free time on her hands. ---

Maybe she cooks mind-altering substances … and has been sampling too much of the product? ---

A little better effort than usual and is thus reaping the rewards. Huh. Who would have guessed we’d have a new poster who wants to talk about covid. So far only slightly irritable and condescending. At least he made sure to mention that he doesn’t know other posters, that’s not suspicious at all. ---
