Well, the OP of that thread is marked “Suspended” (which means “Banned” in SDMB-speak) and the thread is locked.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess “trock”.

The irony of you ending that sentence with a period…

Troll thread in GD but I had no self control.

I’m so ashamed 😞

That was the answer that came to my mind; though I doubt I’d have managed to be so succinct.

Thanks for making it so I didn’t have to.

It would’ve been more ironic had they ended the sentence without a period.

I’m starting to think Kedikat is trolling us in the “Michelle Obama as a candidate” thread. His claims that the DNC could just somehow replace Biden as nominee with someone who doesn’t want the job was one thing, but his claim that Trump is more mentally sound than Biden is impossible to take seriously.

Agreed 100%. I came here to the pit looking for this thread intending on posting exact same thing you just posted. I’ve been following that thread and I posted in it I think once but not since he popped up.

I don’t have him on ignore but that’s just because I don’t put anyone on ignore cuz I don’t like big gaps in the threads that I’m reading. It’s so blatantly obvious he’s a Russian troll / stooge thing. I have no idea why the mods haven’t banned him yet. Maybe he’s just skating the rules line.

There was some actual interesting discussion going around in that thread about the whole Michelle Obama as a candidate thing. I was finding it enlightening till he showed up. Now it’s just going to turn into a giant cluster f\*\*\* and any interesting discussion is going to go out the window.

In the biz, this is what is known as “a motherfucking tell.”

As we’re talking about the Putin astroturfer? Seems on brand.

But, no excuse for attacking him in thread, it seems to be what he likes on top of it.

I’ll try to keep and eye on the thread.

Yep. Hijacked to hell and back like always. It’s going to turn into the kedikat hour now. The threads ostensibly about Michelle Obama but now he is going to jump up on his soapbox and make it about Joe biden.

If he makes it a hijack, flag it.

I’m not seeing it quite yet.

The Op leaves a lot of room for a wide ranging discussion.

Thank you I will.

I want to be clear I’m not complaining about moderation or anything else I think you guys do a fantastic job overall. I just think this one particular poster is an issue.

I quite agree, he was banned from the Ukraine invasion thread for pretty much trolling.

He walks the line pretty well most of the time.

I did find it funny that @Aeschines of all people had the nerve to call someone else’s political insanity “unrealistic”.

I think I’m a pretty typical Democrat.

Yeah, **kedikat** is not a native English speaker. He could be a Russian, though the speech patterns seem a bit different than that to me (but definitely European). He’s essentially concern-trolling in that thread.

He was a complete trolling moron in the Ukraine threads.

Heheh, he is the king of “Wow, you can’t really be that stupid and still form complete sentences.” Who knows, maybe they’re a language savant, but their brain totally craters when trying work out logic. Even if that were the case, it’d be hard to distinguish from a troll.

I applaud @Smapti 's “Bless your heart”. Yeah, it’s a bummer that it’s true meaning has entered the understanding of the wider population. I’m from Texas, and I didn’t really understand it was an insult until the 90s. I just thought that person had weird comments to share when I heard it until then (yes, I am very dense, why do you ask?).

That’s how you can identity a **professional** troll.

He’s good.
