I just wish I knew what the dozens of you feel like you gain from wasting time on someone you think is a troll.

Look at it. Guy makes one or two posts ITT a night while inspaniduals are frothing in here just begging to get him to bite. And he doesn't even reply to half your posts.

What's the goal here? I always thought standard protocol was to ignore trolls and move on?

And playing out the scenario... even by some miracle, you prove TC isn't a doctor or anything of the sort... what's next? He makes another topic and another batch of respondents come in and the cycle begins anew?

This topic is at 300+ posts and the TC has made less than 10% of them. If you think he's a troll and you respond, you lose. Sucks, but that's the reality. Let them fart into the wind.
