Would it be better if they pretended to have a canadian girlfriend?

See the “Majority Rights” thread in Great Debates, which was resurrected by a poster who keeps ratcheting up their provocativeness. Classic trolling testing the limits of the rules.

I’m not seeing it. Their posts in other threads seem fairly bland and harmless (but I have not read through them all). This particular post does not seem to fit into the subject of the thread, but it’s not clear to me if the poster is or is not in favor of sex education in schools, only that their parents were not.

I knew when I was rewatching The Old Dark House on Svengoolie that I had seen the name Roderick Femm before! Is your screen name from TODH/ Benighted?

Yes, that’s exactly where it’s from. I didn’t, however, want to assume a title to which I was not entitled. (The actor portraying that part, BTW, is listed as John Dudgeon, but it was in fact a woman, Elspeth Dudgeon.) I considered using Horace Femm instead of Roderick, because of the delicious way that Ernest Thesiger pronounces it, but it doesn’t have the same ring in print.

Reading the Trump odds of re-election thread, there are a number of replies to posts that don’t appear to be there anymore. I assume “Just Me” is now “Just Cornfielded”?

Oh yeah, I’m quite certain that was a serial sock.

As stiff as that sock appears to be, there must be a lot of JAQ’ing off involved

Buncha absolutely dumbass troll enablers in that “It’s hard to get a job these days” IMHO thread. That troll couldn’t be any more obvious if they were doing a softshoe shuffle to _In The Hall Of The Mountain King_ while holding up a “Yep, I’m A Troll” sign.

I mean, this is comedy gold:

> . I’m only great at sign holder jobs, mascot jobs and snow shoveling jobs. I sometimes make unedited youtube videos talking about my life.

I figured troll with his Canadian reference.

First he say he moved there at 12, then 3 years apart worked in America and Canada. During the pandemic. That didn’t happen.

And sign holding cannot be that lucrative.

I was beginning to think the new troll who described seeing someone with basically smallpox last night had been cornfielded, but then I found it down the page because (almost) nobody fell for it. Called themself “randomname” and the thread title asks about what mystery skin illness they saw, in IMHO.
