I lean toward this:
Could definitely be a sock, though. Somebody who participated on the boards for a long time and eventually got banned, and has missed sharing their wisdom with us.
Same poster has some other doozies, IMHO.
“Old British Riddle” thread in the Game Room: idiot or troll? The construction is reminiscent of bootb’s trolling question about lizard people.
I judge “troll”. Possibly trock.
I personally hope everyone just stays the hell out of that thread to prevent troll-feeding and reduce the collateral damage when it inevitably gets sent to the corn.
ETA: Although it seems that the few participants are averting their eyes from that nasty turd dropped into that post and just playing with the riddle. Which, perhaps, might be nice to tease that troll… “we ignore your trolling even as we participate in this thread.”
[hijack] Maybe so, but that’s not a fair comment or an important criterion. Among the shit-strewn wreckage that Microsoft has produced over the past decades, Windows XP and Windows 7 are outstanding examples of what a good OS should be. [/hijack]
But I suspect that you are not so fond of it that you are still using it.
Full agreement in hoping that no one addresses the mask ridiculousness. But there was no way I could let @Riemann’s error stand. This is the Dope, no nitpick can be left behind!
ChemEngineerMBA looks like an incoming troll. I can’t imagine any other reason they’d start a thread about a nursery rhyme and then claim it shows how different people will interpret the same evidence and this proves that neither masks nor vaccines work to prevent SARS2 (COVID-19).
I sometimes throw in deliberate errors to keep people on their toes, otherwise they tend to just get in the habit of assuming I’m right about everything.
Your selflessness is one of the things I like most about you.
Cornfielded now, and nothing of value was lost IMHO.
That was fast. Musta been a trock.
Maybe trock, clearly troll. I disappeared it and posts are gone.
‘‘Twas an ID, not a recommendation.

Poster fordgt100 has pulled at least one warning now, as they IMHO continue strip away the pretense they aren’t a troll.
Chronos warned them for a blatant threadshit in FQ - Warp Speed of Cosmic Inflation, and apparently was so disgusted that this was the whole of the warning text:
[Moderating]
fordgt100
Oh, they have no idea. I suppose they were there to see it? But I do know that financially, we are certainly in a time of cosmic inflation.Do I even need to explain why this is an official Warning?
Original message was # 7, warning # 8.
I really liked this part “I suppose they were there to see it?” channeling your inner Creationist there?
There’s a warning and a suspension in the Veggies thread.
Thanks @needscoffee - I hadn’t been following that one. And it seems like we probably have a sufficiency of mods thinking that this person is a troll to see the end of them.
Or they’ll say to said poster ‘you’re on your last chance’ and I expect it to be blown within 72 hours. 
I had one pull that on me once. “So you were there at the Big Bang?”
“Nope. Were you there when Jesus came down from the cross? Like you I depend on experts I trust. Mine have math backing them up. Yours have stories.”
