> [@Pleonast](#): > > 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. And now Don Quixote de la Trocka opened an ATMB thread to turn a couple of mod notes into much more. Apparently there was a bit of support for questioning one of the notes, but bringing the same controversial attitude and then personal attacks into the thread is not going to help matters, unless what matters is stirring up shit, which of course is just what trolls want. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > Apparently there was a bit of support for questioning one of the notes Those people are mistaken. 1. He had participate in the Harris McD thread, where managers, coworkers, and W-2s were mentioned frequently. 2. W-2s were completely unrelated to the thread where he got a modnote, yet he mentioned them anyway 3. He has demonstrated that he is trying to antagonize people (“go away, I’m not talking about your stupid thread”) But sure, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. ---

> [@Pleonast](#): > > I’m terrible at identifying specific former posters, but if **Keyohtea** is not one, I’ll be shocked\*. I think I know who it is. I think it’s a trock of @slicedalone. Controversial poster, has a 70s/80s action hero avatar, has a punny username with cutesy spelling all in lowercase… I just don’t know what other accounts this troll has made on the board. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > has a punny username with cutesy spelling all in lowercase… Let me correct myself; for some reason I thought it was all lowercase but there is a capital K. Probably not significant but I figured I should acknowledge my mistake. ---

I just see a foolish poster with temper issues. I have more sympathy for being cranky than I do any level of snark. Could be a sock, I guess. But I don’t think they came back specifically to troll. There’s just no reason for a troll to push so hard that they weren’t thinking about the McDonald’s thing. It’s the type of thing that makes more sense if they are actually upset, not trying to get others upset. Also, they’re not snarky. Most trolls are pretty snarky. Snark gets under people’s skin, while making them feel they can’t directly call it out. ---

True. But there are different kinds of snark. Plus this is one of those situations: “most X do Y” doesn’t mean “most who do Y are X.” (Sorry if I’m stepping on your joke.) ---

He’s not so much a troll as a True Believer Who Not Only Must But Come Hell or High Water Will Get THE MESSAGE to Youtm. And it’s about time he’s faced a consequence for that inanity. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > He’s not so much a troll as a True Believer Who Not Only Must But Come Hell or High Water Will Get THE MESSAGE to Youtm. A troll is a crafty asshole, playing on people as a disgusting kind of performance art. What PJ does is a compulsion, brought about by whatever damage prevents him from seeing reality. You have this totally correct.
