Looks like TexAgs' infamous poster has made the big time:

He's the hardest working troll on the internet.

Don't know ... but when someone says troll HOF, MF Barnes has his portrait on the wall.

It's even more impressive that the NYT bothered out of a billion people with trillions of posts to select that one.

We got someone on the inside at the NYT?

Bueller? ... Bueller?

Or ... perhaps googles algo ranks MFBarnes in the top 5.

Hell ... the entire article could have been written by a bot.

No doubt.

He has me blocked on twitter, so this is the only place I can see that tweet, but that's him.

No disrespect to the great Ken M ...

but MFBarnes is definitely top 5 talent. Just a more obscure regional entrant.

Sort of like the Townes Van Zandt of trolls.

I call troll on this.

So a NYT Top 5-Troll has you blocked on Twitter?

Well deserved props if true.

I don't even remember what I said, but it was a while back so maybe something football related.

Just remembered I do have a 2nd account, so I guess I could follow his brilliance with that one.

Almost feel like this thread is better suited for 16, but I find this hilarious on two counts:

One, the NYT carrying water for this accuser and then,

two, carrying SO MUCH water, that it stumbles across MFBarnes and then feels like it needs to try and debunk him.

Hardest working man in trolling, indeed.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

Roscoe P Coltrane was one of his recent usernames there.

Before that he was pretending to be some female attorney with big government ties. And he had the same woman photoshopped into pictures with him in his photobucket.

He is an interesting study. It's almost amazing how relentless he is. His politics board sock is great at compulsively gathering data from other sources that dig it up, but much of that information can actually be independently verified because it is publicly published if you take the time to go find it yourself. It's a shame he hasn't been able to find a more constructive use for his ability.

I have an idea who he is. I've done some research and am fairly sure I've got it.

Very likely, which is why I don't even bother with that thread. It's still bolded in my browser from me never even clicking on it.

mfbarnes may be a regional troll but in terms of quality and skill, he's up there with Godfrey Elfwick on Twitter and the original internet troll who invented a lot of the techniques, bloodninja. Barnes is a master at working an identity online.
