No; just a Tolkien fan from way back. I find the term either ironic or apropos depending on the internet situation.

I had considered “Fangorn”, since I read a long time ago that the term “ent” was used as an antonym for “troll” in internet contexts; however, the appearance of this handle only in the LOTR appendices and the name-like quality of the term was intriguing.
