My assessment is a little different. He was blatantly trolling in the Ukraine thread and quite properly got tossed out of it. In the Michelle Obama thread, I think he’s just being an ignorant ass. I suspect the main reason he hasn’t crossed any lines (yet) is because there’s no rule against being a dumbass.
Who was the pro-Russian troll whose whole thing was “Russians are way smarter, there’s no such thing as a classical education in America because they don’t read these umpteen Russian novels”? I get that vibe from Mr. Kat.
I had forgotten that one. I think it started with Mik, I’ll do a little digging.
I can’t find it, probably didn’t start with Mik.
Roman67?
That is so completely wrong and unfair to say. I read several classic Russian novels in my teens and 20s, and I’m still pretty dumb.
Just for those who want to check (and I concur, likely this banned poster), from upthread here’s the link ever so slightly broken:

That is the one I was thinking of.
He was fun.
Similarly, I still haven’t recovered from Anna Karenina in high school lit.
Just the other day, my kid and I were watching a late season of “Breaking Bad,” and I told him how a couple episodes must have been partly inspired by Crime and Punishment.
Okay, back to troll hunting…
So did we bounce the 13 year old? I see that one of his threads in Factual Questions has been locked.
No, he had two largely identical threads, the 2nd one got locked.
I wish you good fortune in the threads to come.
Just wanted to cross-mention in reference to @crowmanyclouds earlier quotes about Iamuseless:
For those not in the sister thread, Iamuseless is being discussed for the same BS about lobotomies in the “Has interviewing serial killers been useful?” thread and making an epic, intolerant ass of themselves in the “Why does everything have to be so polarized” thread. Ongoing discussion in the “What were you THINKING” thread.
And thanks to our hero What_Exit, they’ve gotten a one day time-out suspension because his troll signal overloaded. TBF though, several of us were feeding it with greater and lesser degrees of tongue in cheek.
The 13yo has announced he is really just 12yo.
It worries me. If he’s real.
Every time, and that includes the very first time, I see that user name, I read it as Lame Useless.
I see “I amuse less” and yes, they are less amusing each time they post.

With easter coming up (it falls on a Sunday this year) I’d say there’s a better chance in the easter bunny being real.
I keep reading that screen name as a variant of “I Am Mueslix,” and what I see is a cereal troll.
