Registered in Feb 2000. Likes to hang out in GD and insult atheists, liberals, and people whose constitutional understanding is better than his. See A country founded on Christianity and Gay Agenda threads.
At the very least this is a man in need of a valium prescription.
He doesn’t seem to fit any of our known trolls’ profiles, but something tells me he isn’t a newbie either. What do y’all think?
Hmmm … the board froze OJ … then Lionel Mandrake shows up, and his VERY FIRST message is one directed at OJ and “instructing him” on how to be a better troll.
I’m suspecting more and more that OJ and Mandrake are the same person.
I think Mandrake was trying to imply that he had Masonic connections, but he got the phrasing wrong. I can’t wait until he claims Boy Scout membership, and flashes the Vulcan “Live Long and Prosper!” sign to prove it.
It means that for once, and perhaps for the only time, we managed not to get down in the gutter and wallow with the trolls and morons. Usually we argue with them, and start threads about them in the pit, so that they will know that their childish pranks are more powerful than our own thought and reason.

Dammit, hansel! Don’t you know that by speaking a troll’s name, they show up?
Not an hour after you tentatively asked if he was gone, he pops back up in “A country founded on Christianity” again (link in OP above).
It’s like horror movies, people. The first time you think you’re safe again is always a false sense of security. These things have to be put down again and again before they die, and then they just show up under a different name for the sequel.
Argh. Sorry for the rant. I’ll go take my happy-pills now.
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that there have been a higher-than-normal amount of trolls on these boards lately. It seems like there is a new one hatched evey day or so.

I mean, gosh, you all talk about me behind my back!
To answer your questions.
No. I am not the same person as “OJ”.
No. I have not been lurking. I am a newbie. And the idea that I “must” be something other is truly hilarious in its egotism!
Golly gee, you ladies and gentleman DO take yourselves so very seriously don’t you?

Well, where do we start? I thank you for reappearing, Mr. Mandrake. We’ve had quite a rush of trolls in the first two months of this year and the dismissal factor is running high amongst board members. That combined with last week’s hack of the board has got a little twitch in all.
Your reappearance begs the question: are you really just a troll or a newbie who needs to learn a bit about the tone of discourse that works here? I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, for now.
