Well, he _ruined_ the thread. That should be enough for a warning and (if continued) then a banning. This was clear after three days at most. (Certain other Dopers bear some responsibility for engaging with him, but I can’t judge them harshly – the instinct to patiently fight ignorance is a good one). ---

Wasn’t the movie “Troll 2” actually about goblins? ---

That’s because the film was unrelated to _Troll_ and was originally called _Goblins_. It was renamed to _Troll 2_ by American distributors to try to bring in fans of the original film. ---

I was thinking more that “Gobb” was a hamhanded attempt to be a returning troll (Troll 2). ---

It was basically a few weeks of, something, bad behavior? Being an asshole? and then a long-time poster is gone. We all know people IRL who we had known for a long time as sensible people who have since been sucked into the craziness and are now spouting alternate reality RW or CT gibberish as if it was profound insight. IMO the late unlamented **pedro** was one of those. He may have been a long-ago joiner, but he was never much of a participant. Then after his propaganda-driven conversion from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde, he decided to show back up here and serve us some of his Kool-Aid. Using a firehose. ---

Yeah I just noticed him. He seems to be jumping in feet first. As an aside, I have to wonder if the name is a coincidence? For those who don’t know, in the _Back to the Future_ movies Biff Tannen is the name of the primary villain and in the second movie Biff is cast as a Trump stand-in in an alternate future. Millionaire businessman, narcissistic, vain, cruel, overbearing, and weirdly orange. I could be reaching here, but it seems a bit on the nose. ---

He also has some strong feelings about the wokeness of the show _Ragnarok_ over in Cafe Society. [![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fs0FReFXsAMCxiM?format=jpg&name=4096x4096) ](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fs0FReFXsAMCxiM?format=jpg&name=4096x4096) ---

Obvious troll is obvious. Though, this being the Dope and all, I wonder if any of the usual suspects want to throw in the requisite ‘hive mind’ or 'doesn’t strike me as a troll’ or ‘that’s normal thinking for most Americans’ defenses. ---

This one was too obvious even for the usual suspects as you called them. Just a troll, trolling. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-1/950518.md?page=475) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-1/950518.md?page=477)
