The “I’m going to deliberately and blatantly misrepresent what’s going on, ignore all explanations, and then claim persecution when I’m called on it” approach could be all sorts of former board members. ---

But this is a different style, not just disregarding explanations, but acting as if the very concept of explanations is utterly alien to them. It isn’t like explaining things to a stubborn person, it is like explaining things to a petunia. That is like Machanaforce, or Luciano700. ---

I don’t think he’s actually trolling, but arguing with **Whack-a-Mole** is like playing some kind of arcade or carnival game whose name escapes me. Check out the thread called “A diplomat’s child is not a citizen of their country” in FQ. ---

Ugh, **Eyebrows of Doom** got a warning for making a joke about WaM’s ridiculous behavior in that thread. I guess **EoD** has a history of such things, so I’m not going to bother opening a protest thread in ATMB, but it’s annoying how **WaM** was just so awful, but the other poster gets the warning. ---

It looked to me that WaM admitted to Sealioning/trolling and was let go with a note about not responding to attacks. Odd. ---

I don’t think WAM was trolling. I think he’s genuinely that dense. ---

I think he’s a troll—[this is the thread that convinced me](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-threadshitting-v-2/929362). Also, his “[It’s in the name](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-diplomats-child-is-not-a-citizen-of-their-country/957734/47)” remark sounds like an admission to me. ---

Crap, thanks for that. 😠 I forgot about that thread and how W-A-M pissed me off back then. Gah, that was a nice thread to have forgotten. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-1/950518.md?page=45) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-1/950518.md?page=47)
