Just [for the record](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5882323&postcount=134), she did.

Also, **SmashtheState** may have been goofy, but his on board persona matched his real life persona exactly. He was the opposite of a troll. He was, at last glance, doing the same thing [in Windsor](http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/new-windsor-union-includes-city-s-panhandlers-and-buskers-1.3198909).

Plucky little guy to keep trying, though, considering his unbroken record of zero successes.

Who was that guy who was obsessed with the question of whether an actress on “Downton Abbey” was pregnant (and juding from the number of episodes he cited, had been pregnant continuously for well over a year)?

The OP of the currently active “Women Don’t Like My Dick” thread in GD is a promising newcomer.

Which may be why no one has yet mentioned **Two and a Half Inches of Fun**.

Hint to future trolls: you’ll be more successful if you don’t out yourself with [your handle](https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1603&bih=1039&q=2%C2%BD+inch+troll+doll&oq=2%C2%BD+inch+troll+doll&gs_l=img.3...384.4264.0.4498.18.9.0.9.0.0.138.775.8j1.9.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..0.8.704...0j0i5i30k1j0i24k1.L8RGUWOq3aQ)!

Want to put in a plug for one of my favorites, Commissar, although its not entirely clear whether is he was a troll, or member of the North Korean (mis)information ministry.

His blanket support for all things communist and hatred of all things western was a refreshing call back to the good old days of the cold war.

Well, I am too modest to do any stealth-bragging in that thread, but I will state for the record that my wife believes that sex with me is _better_ than clipping her toenails. And it doesn’t take nearly as long.

Was about to mention Phaedrus. Oy, so annoying. FORMERAGENT was at least so obviously awful that it was entertaining, in the same way **Manos: The Hands Of Fate** is entertaining.

Gotta admit. Not sure if that one is a troll or batshit crazy. I’m leaning towards cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

Meh, the guy strikes me as a typically pathetic MRA/InCel/MGTOW whiner.

I might nominate the now-banned TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW, but I admit my bias in that mocking his histrionics was personally entertaining.

Why he hasn’t been cornfielded yet is beyond me.

He’s already racked up one casualty: another Doper warned for calling him a troll over there-yeah, dumb when he could have come here, but I am sure assholes like the OP absolutely _love_ it when that happens.

Lots of collateral damage generally favors troll, as opposed to just crazy. Right now, he sniffs strongly of billy-goat. We’ll watch the body count to be sure…
