Okay, I’ll post this here, because that’s where I’ve had it up until now, but in the abovementioned thread, I think Hatchie is evolving into actually trolling the thread. I’ll quote:

> You see? I got you to do due diligence for me. I’m too lazy. You next assignment is to look into this Palin connection and tell me why it matters. Maybe “the same people” are good at their job and don’t care where the money comes from.

The “I’m making you do all the work” after the “I can’t be bothered to explain” and the “I refuse to discuss that [constitutional ineligibility] issue” (after bringing it up themselves!!!) is absolutely trollish.

And that’s leaving out this latest tidbit:

> [@Cenk Uygur running for Pres](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cenk-uygur-running-for-pres/991927/327):
>
> No matter what happens, Bernie bros are to blame. Smiley face.

If that were a Pit thread, I’d blink and move on. But it’s P&E. Still, I’m emotionally involved, so I haven’t flagged anything. But if it continues, I’m moving my comments on this particular poster back to Trolls, because of all of the above.
