Trolls R Us redux [Now the argument clinic]

And in unrelated Troll news, oldoaktree apparently got his with the trolling/sock banhammer. I don’t feel bad for giving him the benefit of the doubt in a few threads, but seems I was wrong.

Regards, oldoaktree.

Should have stayed on the bus; forgot about us.

If it came from a known “equal opportunity” troll then it would be more obvious trolling. Equal opportunity trolls are the ones that like to take controversial stands no matter what the stance is as long as it riles people up and has enough plausible deniability to let them stick around for a few days. Fortunately, they are less difficult to moderate since they also get off on switching sides during the middle of an argument and vigorously attacking the people who are agreeing with them.

But yeah, from someone who is less of a known quantity, it’s harder to tell. The basic facts do have a ring of truth to them.

I might if this poster wasn’t a frequent flyer in this thread. I meant my post as a “last straw” sort of thing. They’ve been here long enough to know exactly how provocative they were being.

The thread itself isn’t my issue. It’s the title. That they bait and switch the reader with the actual post contents is not a positive thing, in my book.

And I would say they do come off as the “equal opportunity troll” type, @Ludovic. They’re the same poster who did the “Blame the WOMAN MOM” thread. They’ve had threads closed saying for saying things like "ugly 3rd world alien.” They casually call different groups derogatory names. And this is the third thread of theirs which was closed.

It’s not clear to me if they’ve been Warned, If not, that might be a good idea, IMHO.

Well, color me shocked! Not at all surprised, but it’s probably already here under another name anyway.

Come out, come out, wherever you are. I bet you suck at poker.

Hmm. Shouldn’t his Pit thread be locked then?

I put in a request to do that.

The whole damned omnibus was cheering.

That was Shodan?

We also seem to have lost Czarcasm’s pit thread. I’ll have to trudge through my emails to read the rest.

I would not be surprised. Dude needs to move on, but is constitutionally unable to.

Quite sad, actually.

Looks like noted shitty-yet-ridiculously-expensive clothes aficionado HughGoply has decided the clothes trolling was too subtle

If it wasn’t overt trolling, it was pretty dumb.

Although getting rid of Columbus Day would be fine with me.

I love how eliminating “gross holidays” is a ‘call for justice’.
I’m quite sure racist America would gladly accept the loss of a couple of holidays, that they’ll celebrate anyway, in exchange for being able to tell Black Americans ‘We did something, now shut the fuck up about slavery and racism’.

He’s trolling. He started a thread about Amazon selling cocaine vials, apparently for the sole purpose of drawing this conclusion:

This one is obvious but are they new?

Keeping busy sno bo?

Yeah, only here for 17 years. Freakin’ noob!

That thread wasn’t trolling. I don’t know what it was – misplaced recreational outrage?
