Analysis of anewtypedude Troll
I promised an analysis of this troll last night. Though I'd normally just drop the required action, I thought I'd share some of the inner workings of the troll evaluation process. Think of it like that
"How Stuff Works" show on the Discovery Channel.
Don't expect this for every troll.
Facts
This guy has a history of subtle game-denialist threads. His technique is rather slick. He posts infrequently, but periodically comes out with a thread--masquerading as his own experience--that shows that "game doesn't work." He was overt in one, but he's taken a subtler tack since.
It started with this one, which earned him a temporary ban:
PUAs, the scums of the society
He then moved on to a couple of day-game denialists threads. At the time, they seemed like plausible newbie difficulties. But, if you examine them--in light of new facts--you can see that he's merely trying to erode the credibility of game, showing that
game just gets you into trouble.
Barista told me to stop bothering customers
Going elder ain't getting me anywhere
Now, there's this new way that game gets you in trouble. A girl commits suicide!!! Game even
kills, in other words.
Girl committed suicide...
Futhermore, this guy has never responded to troll allegations, including in this thread, though he was given ample time. He merely evaporates--like a fart in the wind--only to return to subtle trolling in the future.
Verdict
Given that he's set off multiple troll alarms--not only my own, but several members'--there is little doubt that this is a game-denialist troll. He's a rare species,
Game-Brings-Trouble Troll, but a troll nonetheless.
