We had a Russian poster who got banned for trolling or something, but definitely a different style, and mostly posted in politics threads as a conservative. Other than Yakov Smirnoff and Pavel Chekov, this ridiculous poster doesn’t ring any bells. In Soviet Russia, lame boring movies watch you! ---

I know we haven’t had any fun trolls in a while, but I don’t find this one entertaining. It’s too direct, too over the top, and way too calculated. So, I’ll join those flagging it so hopefully it’ll soon be gone. ---

Seriously, no need to flag them at this point unless it does something new. We’re watching them carefully. It might already be done. ---

Thanks for the heads up, I saw where you were watching, but the last comment was about modnotes and such, rather than a well deserved troll tag, so … but sorry for making more work. I’ll wait for someone to sport new famous best ever boots made of finest Russian Troll Leather. ---

The sealion-ish stench is strong with this one. ---

That is such a troll thread, or the poster is a total idiot. Why can’t it be both, I suppose. Good on **WE?** for closing it. ETA: Now that I think about it, that debating style is really reminiscent of our recently departed WV lawyer. ---

What, you mean the poster whose handle is taken from a two-faced Roman god makes two-faced gotcha posts? 🤔 Quelle surprise! 😮 ---

Oh hell yes, the inherent gotcha in that one was looming from minute one in that OP and title. Good stomp, and credit to all those who refused to pay the game or at most point out that’s all it was. ---

And continuing the sealioning in ATMB Clearly somebody intimately familiar with the board and how things work despite the Dec 11 join date, so yeah, a troll/trock but so bad at it that nobody bit and now complaining about how it’s unfair how badly the trollery failed ---

I went ahead and made an attempt to be helpful in the ATMB thread. If this is a troll (and probably is) they will continue to troll and get blocked, no biggy. If this is (by some strange circumstance) a legitimate new poster who is confused then maybe that’ll help. It took less than a minute to give them the benefit of the doubt. If they continue sealioning again then fuck 'em. I’ll probably report too. ETA: I looked at some of their other threads and they weren’t so bad. It still feels trockish but, eh. ---

Well, fair cop. Points for trying, I guess. But it didn’t last long. Trolls gotta troll. The sheer ineptitude of this attempt is the only real surprise. ---

A more interesting, but still not particularly interesting, question: why Jane Fonda in particular? Maybe just because of recent media coverage for beating cancer? Or lingering memories of Hanoi Jane? The world may never know. Or care ---

I know several conservatives who still bring up her, and her actions during the Vietnam War, as their primary whataboutism example of “the left has traitors too.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-1/950518.md?page=175) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-1/950518.md?page=177)
