Oh, I was under the impression that lying and posting those lies repeatedly to conduct a social experiment, get laughs at the expense of others who are replying sincerely or whatever other weird reason a person has to be a Poe is trolling, as it is done to provoke a reaction from others. I'm not advocating any action, but the "it's all good" mentality is not in line with the rules of the forum, the precedent for handling trolls and really the communities reaction to theist trolls and the April Fool's Day prank. The only reason I say anything is not because nothing was presumably done, as I would not have advocated it for such a tame instance, but the fact that not one single authority was like, "Hey, dude. That's not cool." in defense of all the people who responded sincerely, wasting their time. Ah, well. Just an observation.
