I've been posting on BBSes, usenet, and web forums for nearly two decades, and never have I encountered a troll so dedicated to his or her craft. This is absolutely masterful work, the stuff of legends.

If she's really crazy, though...
The thing that's really got me convinced that we're dealing a morlock is that Springs1 conveniently ignores messages suggesting he/she's a troll/morlock, only responding to messages where they can still garner an "in character" reaction from the crowd.

If 9/10 people call Springs1 out on being a troll he/she will cherry pick the 10th message suggesting that servers are humans and are trying their best. Or that the way he/she conducts themselves is inappropriate.
