I think you missed a good chance for the title > Trolls R Us Insurrection ---

You gotta draw the line somewhere. I’m concerned talking about what’s going on in that thread might defeat the purpose of this one. I know I was tempted to respond to what you just said. I mean, right now we have 15 posts, and not a single one actually reporting a troll. The other thread currently has a better troll to noise ratio. ---

In the spirit of this new thread, I’m still surprised **octopus** is still around. He really seems to hate this place, constantly derails threads (can we please stop feeding him?) and almost never adds anything useful to any thread he participates in. Nearly all of his posts, here or at ATMB are meta-posts about other posts. And, his contributions in GD and P&E are all about the howling woke mobs that are worse that Stalin, Hitler, and Mao combined. ---

> [@RitterSport](#): > > In the spirit of this new thread, I’m still surprised **octopus** is still around. He really seems to hate this place, constantly derails threads (can we please stop feeding him?) and almost never adds anything useful to any thread he participates in. I believe the appropriate statement in the common vernacular is that this is a place “he loves to hate”. I see much of what he does as performance art that is mainly intended to demonstrate his alleged superiority over the “hive mind”. It has apparently never occurred to him that his efforts to do this are consistently abysmal failures. For some reason **octopus** doesn’t bother me quite as much as some other assholes, most of whom mercifully are no longer with us. But that’s probably only because I don’t interact with him much. I just see a pink octopus wearing a top hat and move on. ---

> [@RitterSport](#): > > In the spirit of this new thread, I’m still surprised **octopus** is still around. Not as surprised as he must be, with all his claims of biased moderation and the board looking to throw out dissenting voices. If he had a point, he’d be long gone by now. ---

Your post couldn’t illustrate the utter cluelessness and lack of self awareness that the hive mind possesses any more perfectly. ---

Octopus is essentially an attention whore. Trolling will do, but he’ll do whatever it takes to get that sweet, sweet attention. We give it to him because we care. ---
