The Red Squirrel = Trolls


All this bickering about who is or isn't a troll strongly reminded me of this episode... Which of course is modeled after the Cold War where everyone thought everyone else was Communist Spy. Which is also similar to the Salem Witch Trials where everyone was accusing everyone else of being a witch.

"So, you like pictures of red squirrels, eh? Do you know who else likes pictures of red squirrels?! ... The Red Squirrel!"
"Read any good books lately? Read... Red... The Red Squirrel!"

"He's a troll because he wants an ignore button over human moderation!"
"She's a power hungry troll because she's kissing up to Jim!"

Oh, please. Give it a rest, people! If you're going to accuse someone of being a troll, use /real/ evidence and the report button.
