Questions like that used to be pretty common on this board. Not so much now, but did not look like a trolling OP to me.

He’s strange, at a minimum. Given his willingness to start new threads from the get-go, I lean towards sock.

We have **Keyohtea** , a self-proclaimed atheist, starting a fight between liberal and conservative Christians. Very familiar with the rules of the Great Debates forum.

Feels like a trock to me. I’m not engaging.

Which I think is “Quixote” spelled phonetically, which seems like a taunt. Trying to get posters to tilt at windmills.

I love it when trolls go “The Riddler” route and decide to drop hints about what they are. It’s more common than many might think.

If we learned nothing from comic books and Voldemort, it’s to check for anagrams.

We know Donald Trump has a real hangup about sharks. We also know he’s a germophobe. That’s why his archfoe — who I’m sure is plotting against him even as we speak — is the mysterious mistress-of-disguise known only as Malaria Shark.

Quick! Someone come up with a “bat-shark repellant” joke!

Trump-shark repellant? It just electrocutes you so you don’t have to die from a shark attack?

Trump Repellant isn’t a product.  
Trump Repellant is a statement of fact.

Excellent response to obvious trock **Dontron3030** :

Please forward any further responses to Don to the nearest cornfield.

That must be what’s happening – the thread is locked right now, so WE? might be sending those posts away to the corn field.

Actually, that was before I got my coffee. The cornfielding was already done, but I forgot to open the thread back up. I’m glad you mentioned it here.

If you’re going to respond to trolls, that was perfect. I left all three replies as none fed the troll in my opinion.

With my report the mods apparently found another serial sock whose topic of singular obsessive interest was…drowning victims regurgating water when rescued, tho as of this moment 1 of the 3 threads remains open and un-cornfielded.
