Good point. I’ve taken your suggestion, but my parting sentiment stands.each of these questions constitutes a crumb for a troll. Why feed? Why not use the ignore function?

I’m not so sure about that. I mean, it’s amazing that his account (this is ncoloradojazz) reads just like someone’s alt and way too over the top that it’s almost parody. But he had his old account way back in the DWill days, and he wasn’t trolling then and kept his story about coming because he was a DWill fan. Then things changed when DWill left. It’s entirely possible someone kept an alt and didn’t bring out the troll for a couple years, but they’d have to waste a lot of time. But I agree that had I not known that, this reads 100% like an alt who knows us too well, which is why I find it fascinating that this caricature appears to be a real person.he's an alt. Sucking hard is what he's trying to do. It's sorta my opinion that your best action is to put him/it on ignore.
I think my definition of an alt is pretty broad. If someone is trolling around here under a different name than they used to go by, then, regardless of that previous accounts posting patterns, if he is now just trying to elicit hyped up responses through performative language that is richly informed by our message board’s habits and personalities, I call that an alt.I’m not so sure about that.

He’s an alt of ncoloradojazz. In fact, I wouldn’t say he’s an alt of ncoloradojazz inasmuch as I’d say he is ncoloradojazz.I think my definition of an alt is pretty broad.

It’s a troll with too much insider information. To be a troll, you don’t need insider info. To be an alt, you do.
I’m happy to use a different term than alt. But “troll” won’t do.
good to know.He’s an alt of ncoloradojazz. In fact, I wouldn’t say he’s an alt of ncoloradojazz inasmuch as I’d say he is ncoloradojazz.
I agree, that’s Don doesn’t have to say anything. He and his dad have a good relationship at this point from everything I’ve seen. Not really our business.We don't need to know but from what I read I didn't see one mention of his Dad.

Don’s an amazing kid, and his mother is one of the best parents ever for the son she raised.
