What's the deal with the Mein Fuhrer Troll that posts on practically every thread about related Data Lounge threads?

It's not a single troll, you halfwit!

It's one of the ways posters (various) alert someone to when an OP has created a thread on a topic where a thread was already created.

It's a contraction of the phrase where someone who starts a thread about a topic that's recently been started: 'OP is worse than Hitler," reduced to "Mein Fuhrer."

Nothing like explaining a joke to fully drain it of any levity.

If you don't know the etiquette/rules/inside jokes of DL? It's just plain rude to ask. Figure out slowly and with ample confusion, like all of us have over the decades.

It's the way god and Muriel intend.

Eventually, you'll get it.

Hear! Hear!

Except Muriel is god!

Posting random annoyimg crap is standard trolling practice.

Heil!

OP many new (and some old) posters get all antsy in their pantsy and think OMG I'VE GOT THE SCOOP ON THIS STORY - SURELY NO ONE ELSE LOOKS AT OTHER WEBSITES OR TV LIKE ME. I'M OBVIOUSLY THE FIRST TO KNOW AND POST THIS!

Those morons tend to get called out as R1 and R2 have said.
