It was a good laugh. A fairly good troll, too.
The "RISE! HILLARY! RISE!" thread was inspired.

3. I'm always amazed at the ones who can't last a single day. |

Subtlety is a lost art, I guess.

4. I may be missing something, but his posts are not much different |
|
from many others defending both Clinton and Obama, and the rest when they were still in the race.
Why the rush to ban people like that?
Why not just ignore their posts - I mean, not responsing to them - and move on?

5. It was the over-the-top hyperbole |

Along with CAPS and no real argument to be made. This person was out to stir up some shit, pure and simple. They weren't particularly subtle about it, either. It wasn't any one thing they did: it was all of it taken together that revealed them as a troll/sockpuppet. I didn't link to the third thread, RISE! HILLARY!!! RISE! which was the best of the three, all made within about 10 minutes of eachother, and showing a go-for-broke mentality.
This person has been with us before, under other names, though I don't know which of them it is.

the dynamics.
Or, if I don't like a thread, I don't even open it..

is the unfortunate fact that one of the threads you linked above received 10 recommendations for the greatest page, the other received five.
Par for the course?

:rofl:
Maybe they were reccing for the entertainment value. I'm not sure. Several expressed solidarity with the troll, without even realizing it was a parody of *cough* a certain person's followers.
