I was wondering the same thing as basil - why assume this is a troll? All rules were followed, including the barf alert and the comment ridiculing the NYT. It’s a bit suspicious for a newbie to get all that right. (I know my first post was a vanity that was immediately flamed - I didn’t quite grasp the concept.) Maybe this is a long-time lurker or a member who changed names.
Be nice to newbies as long as they behave.
I’m not assuming. I know.
My bad! I thought about it after I posted.
