The Venn diagram of new posters sharing deeply personal sensational stories and new trolls sharing deeply personal sensational stories is nearly a complete circle. You very well may be an outlier, but I wouldn’t… put money on it. ---

@MW_Degen_Gamblr, word of advice, coming into the Troll thread to defend yourself and/or engage, rarely does anyone any good. Better off heading back to #Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share and doing your thing there. ---

If **MW\_Degen\_Gamblr** is a troll (not going to “@” him here to attract more attention) then he’s a particularly well scripted one. So he’s either genuine, or a TWAP (“Troll With A Plan”). Based on the evidence so far, and also because most people are idiots, I strongly suspect the former – a genuine gambler with a genuine problem. But I’ve been wrong before. ---

I do not consider him a brand new poster. He came in with a story about gambling So it seems plausible to me its an ongoing concern with him. He is brusque, sometimes a little too TMI. It’s easy to be more open online about touchy subjects. Good grief the stuff people say on this board curls my hair some days. Yes, listen to What Exit. It never pays to give the troll hunters, pendantics any more ammo. Stay in your thread. ---

> [@MW\_Degen\_Gamblr](#): > > Ok, in that racial ratio thread, I was actually more curious about the whites. Because it is the whites who are mostly absent after 10pm on weeknights. If you dont believe me, go out there and see how demographics change the later it gets. And Im excluding employees, im talking about random people out and about. Then why did ask “Among blacks, Asians, and Hispanics…is being out late less taboo?” if you were actually asking about what White people do??? ---

Other than the patriot hoping his patriotic car wouldn’t be vandalized by those roaming bands of radical leftists a couple of days ago, we haven’t had an unabashed Trolly McTrollface show up in quite awhile. IOW: It’s quiet. Too quiet. ---

That one was very blatant. One of our Trocks I believe. Registered and didn’t post for about 6 months and then pure troll thread. Barely read in all that time, which is no surprise. Real weak sauce trolling OP. ---
