Trolls R Us Resurrections

This is my new tagline.

So, anyway, workingdude is back in the ‘Above the Law’ thread, doing the exact same thing: every 10 - 14 days drops in to spew out a cite free statement that Biden = Evil, Trump = Good.

As was stated by posters in this thread back in July, it seems almost performative, low level trolling because they don’t seem to stay around to actually enjoy the chaos.

A similar, almost farcical comment in ‘Comments on Having COVID’ seems to back this up -

Now that I got Covid 19 after being vaccinated I say this . I now have natural immunity to this crazy virus on steroids and I have perfect immunity to this strain. Whoooo whhhoooo! I have thee best immunity now that I have natural immunity. I am still vulnerable to a mutated strain but it will probably not do much to me if I get it. Whoooooo whhhoooo!. I got natural immunity and I feel so protected now!

Note this one was also in the last 24 hours, after the thread had been quiet for a month.

I am utterly unequipped to judge their sports threads, but the moment anything remotely political jumps in it’s all so extreme that I can’t but consider it trolling.

Someone that has no common sense or practicality nor has any regard for their country. That’s just my humble opinion and only my opinion if it matters to anyone else. Please don’t take my comments as an insult.

From ‘what would you define as far left thread’

I used “satan” for awhile. I think the departed asahi called me that at one point.

There is absolutely no question in my mind that workingdude has trolled. That one seems blatant to me. (That’s not necessarily the same as “being here just to troll people” though.)

His sports comments do seem to be sincere most of the time, except for the whole “what was wrong with the Indians name, hyuck hyuck” clowning he did.

My impression is that he has some strong conservative viewpoints that he likes to “troll the libs” about, but when he’s not doing that, he has some interest in actually participating in real discussions that don’t touch on politics.

Your comment was the one I was thinking of when I mentioned other poster comments in July - just didn’t want to @ you if you had anything better to do than put up with his crap, such as irrigating an infected toenail or having a tooth pulled. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

And I had to agree, it feels so over-the top that it’s a farce, there doesn’t seem to be anything truly heartfelt, just a big smirk and ‘hey, don’t take it personally’ shrug, such as in the last piece I quoted.

I do like the construction. Insult, insult, insult… don’t take my comments as an insult.

That alone tells me that he’s dishonest and trolling.

workingdude decided to call RickJay and others fools for protecting Biden from investigations.

There will never be any evidence because Dirty Joe has too many fools like you protecting his dirty ass because you fools love his policies of open borders defund the police and all that other nonsense. Why don’t you wake up and save this country from going to hell!

So apparently, all of us out here are doing an amazing job of protecting powerful politicians by . . . magic I guess. I never knew we had so many sorcerers working here, and that being vaguely liberal gave us such magical powers.

And of course I flagged it as a pretty direct insult (twice no less). May he get the smackdown he deserves.

Maybe there is something dirty but it ain’t Joe.

I notice after I logged out for the night he also started a rant about selfishness that was a poorly concealed one-sided rant that was rightfully shut as such with the option to move to the pit. What a wanker.

There appears to have been a lot of big news I missed recently. I had no idea that Joe Biden had thrown open all the borders (and presumably fired the entirety of the CPB). I also hadn’t heard that Biden had dismantled all police departments across the nation, or that he even controlled them in the first place.

I don’t know what “all that other nonsense” is, but I bet I haven’t heard of that before, either. Good thing that Workingdude is here to bring us all up to speed on these major events.

I wonder what kind of “work” Workingdude does? I’m sure it must be something intellectually engaging, requiring the kind of cerebral thinking and vast knowledge that he so obviously possesses. It may even involve sleeping on park benches at night and howling at the moon.

He’s either a troll or he’s just too stupid to be allowed to post here.

Dunno, but he has James A Lyons in his profile. The James A Lyons I know writes pretty decent LGBTQ fiction, so I’m guessing that’s not him.

Hunters a dirty boy!:smile:

Ah, the standard “The stuff there’s a ton of evidence for isn’t true but the stuff there’s no evidence for is totally true” argument that is popular with so many Trump supporters these days.

His problem is he thinks he’s pretending to be ten times as stupid as he actually is when he does this act but he’s really only pretending to be around twice as stupid as he actually is.

What’s the opinion on Michael_Varn? He seems to have trouble accepting reasons for why things are a certain way. At first I was thinking “troll”, but when he revealed himself to be one of those conservatives who spouts the “dying with COVID rather than of” I began to rethink my position on his possible mental capabilities.

Also, he can’t spell for toffee.

He sounds like the departed JimB. His so called cites are “I saw it on the teevee in the 80’s”. He’s not doing the smiley thing, but he overuses exclamation points the same way Jim did.

And the fuck is “blood doneing”? In any case, that boy ain’t right.

He claims to have drawn blood as a profession in the past, but he doesn’t know the difference between “blood” and “plasma” and can’t spell “donor”.

Can he spell phlebotomist?

ETA: he did spell it correctly.

I used to have a co-worker who had worked as a phlebotomist before switching to IT. She said there were people at the hospital where she worked who’d do blood draws, and weren’t actual educated and trained phlebotomists, but called themselves by that name. Maybe he’s one of those?

Check out my quote of him from last week upthread here. Only a troll would have said what he did, in the way he did (shoes tossed over powerlines).
