Huh. Their website (http://soixante-neuf.homosexual.horse/veritas/ http://soixante-neuf.homosexual.horse/veritas/) does seem at least somewhat satirical, and yet, if they are trolling, they are quite committed to it. They do seem to post a lot on reddit about Brown: https://www.reddit.com/user/saintzozo https://www.reddit.com/user/saintzozo. Although those posts seem like a lot of trolling as well. Ah, I dunno. It's difficult for me to figure out exactly the dynamics of trolling vs. other forms of satire vs. sincerity that are in play here.
ETA: Ah, and here's the referred-to original post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/BrownU/comments/50xjy7/another_alarming_example_of_censorship_at_brown/d78r5fm https://www.reddit.com/r/BrownU/comments/50xjy7/another_alar...
- ramblenode 10y agoI'd guess trolling, which is even more unfortunate than genuine pomposity. Not the only personality in this thread where it's legitimately difficult to tell, either.

- Aqueous 10y agoHonestly? Still not sure myself. The "leave a comment for my secretary" form is either some Grade-A douchebaggery or trolling perfected. But if this whole thing is intentional satire then it's too many layers deep to make its point.
- andkon 10y agoRight?? I think trolling and satire are different, now that I'm looking at this bud — satire needs to be obvious lest it further the goals of the thing it's making fun of. Trolling actually needs you to buy into what it's saying, which seems to be the goal here.
- spacehome 10y agoI spent some time reading his reddit posts. I'm pretty sure it's not satire.
