I feel so proud of myself for exhibiting unusual self-control since I didn’t bump this thread like a hyperactive child on a long car trip after your prior update: “Is he gone yet? Is he gone yet? Is he gone yet?” I’m sure it’s a passing phase of acting like an adult. ---

It’s not proof by any stretch of the imagination, but I always look closely at relative new posters who start threads about trolls/socks. ---

I think those of us who post in this thread have fairly good senses for determining troll or not. The moderators have to be more circumspect, but they also get more tools. ---

No need to guess, I was there trying to give him a hint that Trump was the one playing stupid games, and so do are the bigots that pretend that the illegal things that they want to do to immigrants are hunky-dory. TOWP is also happy to win stupid prices. ---

Yeah, this is the second time–at least–that this asshole has inserted his outrageous xenophobic bullshit into another thread and hijacked it. It’s time for him to fuck off. ---

It took me a little bit to figure out what to do with that mess. I still might elevate the modnote to warnings for the pair I called out. One of the worst and most blatant hijacks I’ve seen. I’ll sleep on that part. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > I still might elevate the modnote to warnings for the pair I called out. I get what you’re saying, but TOWP absolutely started the hijack, just as he did last time.

It is, he more than rose to the bait. I’m not make a judgement on content, just the extreme hijack. But tomorrow I’ll decide. Probably no warnings.
