Troll of Sorrow Open Thread
In this one thread only, the Troll of Sorrow is allowed to post all he wants, and all of you are allowed (and encouraged) to beat up on him all you want.On every other thread on this blog, the instant deletion policy -- for all of his comments as for all comments responding to him -- will remain in force. The same policy will be applied in this thread for any comments that speculate on the true identity of said Troll. I'm going to treat this like the bomb in the airport: even if you jokingly say it's Karl Rove leaving these comments, it will be deleted.
If anyone would like to help create new lyrics for everyone's favorite tune from O Brother Where Art Thou, to match the new title "Troll of Constant Sorrow," it would be much appreciated. I'm hoping that Jared Sinclair or Robb Schuneman can help us out by recording said opus upon completion. Here is a page purporting to have the original lyrics for the song.
Relatedly, via Scott Eric Kaufman, I find this Troll of Sorrow automatic comment generator. My original intuition that this guy is a Turing Test just got a major boost. (By the way, ToS, did you notice that I mentioned Turing? Bet I don't understand him! Better correct me! Or do you have a... halting problem?)
