Has anyone else noticed the one-liner trolls?

There's one on the nudist beach thread now and I've noticed them on several threads I've read in the last few days.

I think I remember one on the (since deleted) thread about different ways to assault Peter Connelly's mother and also on the super-glue on the toilet seat thread.

I'm going to have to retrace my steps to find them, I think.

What's it all in aid of?

The nudist beach one reads more like a spam bot than a troll, I haven't spotted any others.

I'll look for others later when I get back home. It's bugging me.

The nudist one seemed to be advertising. Very odd.

No, I'm not sure attention is the point for these particular trolls. They post one sentence and bugger off. Some quite rude, some banal but nothing to cause debate (which they don't wait around for anyway).

Attention.

Ignore on thread. Report.

They thrive on attention so give none.
