No, a troll is a newbie who drops in to take a dump. This guy's been here far too long to be considered a troll. He's just a POS who knows how to push the envelope just far enough to prevent himself from being banned and who only gets satisfaction from the attention he creates from his inflammatory comments.
In some circles he would be considered an obnoxious attention whore.........(I'll refrain from posting the applicable photo)
Yeah. I actually enjoyed some of the HG posts, some of which seemed pretty conservatve, although I can’t recall any off hand.
Pretty much says it all. And all because he has nothing of value to contribute. So, what else is there to do...

It is a mistake to equate length of time in FR and sign up date as a troll indicator. A good troll has longevity. Bad trolls or hit and run trolls expect to be deleted.
The truth lies in past posting history, not the number of years. We have seen many 1998, 1999, 2000, etc. trolls zotted.
I am not saying HG is or is not a troll. When you say troll, if you mean a lib that comes here from DU, or an Obot, no, HGunner is definitely NOT a troll. His past posts verify that... however... there are many different kinds of trolls. One can be a conservative and still be some kind of troll and it’s up to each individual forum or website to determine which trolls are unacceptable.
