Help[Opinions] In this post alone?

I certainly see nothing trollish, unless it is assumed from the outset that Jinger and Joleen are merely the fabrication of a single poster. And I question the judgment of anyone who makes that leap. :/

Well, not only that but their names, the fact that one doesn't want to write, just all of it together is a bit on the weird side. I wouldn't say it is outright trollish but it definately would keep me alert on future posts.

True. I'm just bothered because I don't think it's the sort of content that merits a slap on the wrist for responding to it.
ETA: In fact, I think it's rather rude to be dishing out slaps on the wrist for responding to anything, really, regardless of content, but that's another story.

No, I agree
I think slaps on the wrist are wrong. That being said, I think it is also wrong to respond to known trolls, which only leads to the troll making more posts about equally trollish subjects.

Well, but this poster was unmistakeably a the troll in the past and this post is a bit dodgy with the whole twin business. I think it's normal that, if someone has a history of trolling, it takes a little while for her to be accepted as a bona fide poster.

Yes, but...
To call a few posts made about half-an-hour before this post "a history" is a bit of a stretch, IMO. To find anything verifiably trollish about this poster, one has to investigate her posting history. Lillian said that she didn't find anything trollish "here," and neither did I. Dodgy, sure, but if you're going to say that someone is a troll, you need a bit more than dodginess to back that accusation up. And I don't see why anyone should be expected to look outside of this thread to find this evidence for themselves. That is the accuser's burden.
