Reasons I believe this to be a likely troll:
10 posts
8 in this thread
1 in the Haven (-10 in -10 to 10 scale. More on that in a second. Not a lot can be assumed from this in either direction...as there was no indication as to why that number was given in the thread.)
1 in thread on one of the online AS "tests."
The vast majority of them were dedicated to this thread, to attacking people. All of us have bad days. I'm sure all of us (here, or otherwise) have lashed out at people at times, and at times inappropriately. Sure, some may not have, but I'm guessing the majority has. This seems to be focused.
More than that, I frequently noticed that this individual was lurking in the General Discussion forum. As if waiting for a response, in the hopes for another chance to "strike." Sure, that could be wrong, but at the time that's all I could come up with.
The test also indicated "both AS and NT tendencies." Sure, that doesn't mean anything. It is a scale, after all. The OP did profess to have things really bad, specifically in terms of AS. While this was but an online test, and as such not the best of methods for judging such things, it still is a bit odd to me.
The language was also very inflammatory. Needlessly so. Again, see what I said at the start, we all have bad days, but this was pretty consistent.
After saying all of this, the one post in the Haven suggested that this may not be a troll after all. The whole bad day thing again. I do find it odd that someone would come here on a bad day, read threads, then lash out, after posting so little else. Not to say it isn't possible, it simply strikes me as odd. My gut says troll, but I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again.
