The troll was a bot...
------------------------------------------------
Did a little research on how to spot a bot. Some bots will try too hard to speak casually by using an excess of “lol” or use awkward turn of phrases or repeating expressions just as our visitor repeated "you nuts" and idiocy. Don't know if it was a bot but someone noted that he/she/it used the same expression "poisonous" as was used on twitter before a recent purge of conservatives.

Could be. Her posting history shows replies to be short and casual, like one would talk to a stranger.
