No, he's not. Poor character development, no shades of gray, and very forgetable. A lame novel that reminds me, with a few great exceptions, that sci-fi is a good place to for second rate writers to gain adulation and a living.

I also suspected he meant Pres4242, but agree with you. He wasn't a troll, just lived in a strange reality. Tom Lord? I don't know how you can even suspect he was trolling.

I generally agree with bhima's well-written post though. The number of "Armageddon's coming, everyone grab their canned-food & guns" & general conspiracy theory stories was alarming. Reddit's the same way. Why is the Internets so delusional?

I also participated in the conversation regularly. Who do you think were the two trolls?
