He/she is a long timer? That would be even worse.

The posts just seemed spammy to me, like he/she wanted to get post count up.

The only troll the rest of us know about wasn't a long-time DUer, it was an account created today.

The one with the food references, around 6 or so OPs? Or the one who was posting earlier with the 200+ spam ops?

I think you are seeing something that is not there.

Please just calm down, take a deep breath and relax.

The troll that hit DU today with the 200 or so ops was most likely a bot. The DU Lounge poster appears to be making a joke about that bot.

Seems fine to me? Making another joke.

That is what the lounge is for. I understand your concern, so please feel free to let the poster know you are concerned.

I am sure they will understand. We watch out for each other here.

However, the person you decided to call a "troll" is a long-standing member. They are not a bot. They are not posting "code". They are not threatening self-harm, which you seem to be concerned about. Stop it.
