Is it me, or are the Trolls getting Dumber?

What the hell is going on lately?
The days of Rik seem long gone.
Say what you will about Rik but you at least got the sense you were engaging the guy in a convo.
The past few trolls have been like... vacuous of any sort of ideas or intellect.
Is it me? Or are the trolls getting dumber?
You need to focus on line 2 & 3 of my OP, or else you are dodging.

They certainly don't seem to be trying very hard.
I really have to research Rik as he was before my time here.

They've always been like this. Lil Rik was like this, too, though a reasonable person may have been new and naive enough to have thought otherwise.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

As a published epidemiological perinatal dementia therapist my consult finds you delusional. But as a lay atheist I know you cannever understand.

Yeah. You have a point. I do remember having fun with him... but the psychology of memory and bias may be at work here. I could be misremembering how dumb he actually was. He did make me laugh out loud, though. That counts for something.
And I recall clearly having a discussion about free will with him. He started a thread on free will. I posited that his beloved Bhagavad Gita supposed determinism, and he retorted that I was misinterpreting it. That right there is a hundred times deeper than the most fruitive discussion one might have with Sheldon or MadJW.
