Trolls R Us Resurrections

Too late. Already paid attention to it. While I understand and do not question the policy… you have to admit, it was funny when we could link to UV’s posts in his pit thread, affixing the disclaimer “West Virginia’s Dumbest Attorney” where appropriate (as it so often was).

Manny people ask me, and now I wonder: the original Manny People was long before my time, although I think I delved back and found some of those posts at one point. Any old timers want to share the tale?

Didn’t he die getting the Death Star 2 plans?

I think that was Manny Boffins. That’s a common bit of confusion.

Actually, it’s Manny Mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.

But he’s living with his father now.

This went so far over my head I didn’t even hear a wooooosh

I see one of our previously low-lying right-wing trolls is suddenly spamming the board with comment-free links to various far-right fringe websites. I’m willing to chalk this up to culthood rather than active trolling, but either way it’s pretty dumb and he’s one more commentless link away from a warning.

Can you be less specific?

Ralfy, please note, no @ sign, is who they’re talking about.

You’ll see two closed threads in P&E.

He was also pushing things in the Russia invades Ukraine thread this weekend.

Thanks! I agree that we shouldn’t @ or link, but something clearer than “some right wing troll is posting somewhere” would have been nice.

I only knew as I get notifications about new threads in P&E and saw the Mod action taken before I even read the post here. So I had a reference for what he was talking about.

I only saw one of them and I was surprised it merely garnered a warning rather than in insta-ban for spam. It sure looked like a spambot to me.

Not even a warning, but that was the last notice.

Also an asinine post in the Elon Musk thread here. At least he’s consistent!

That was a high quality post by his standards. I assume we’re talking post 4071. No clue about how factual it was, but it wasn’t a bare link post at least.

Right, this time it was a baseless post with no links at all, claiming how much better Twitter is doing now that Musk has fired nearly everybody. A different style than bare links to far-right garbage, but same kind of unthinking nonsense.

He’s a stray from the same survivalist board as action jackson.

Are we sure he isn’t Action Jackson in tube-sock disguise?
