I didn’t believe it at first, but I think it really is TomatoFace. TF’s one account stopped posting at 10:02 AM after being called out:

It’s become clear that Splinter does not care whatsoever about trolling. It’s been said before, but the purge was all because of the backlash Nick and Libby received on some articles.

It’s really cool that the obvious troll BarackaObama is an approved commenter on Splinter.

That’s a troll. He’ll soon be dismissing you.

It makes sense when you see commenters like BarackaObama up there spewing bullshit and dismissing anyone that calls him out. 

Shut the fuck up TomatoFace.

You seriously don’t understand this issue that has been explained countless times?

Using this against him during the election would require them to admit that wearing blackface is offensive.

Shut the fuck up TomatoFace.

Massive?

Shut the fuck up TomatoFace.

Shut the fuck up TomatoFace.

people who compared Bernie Sanders to Trump: dumb. Bad. Wrong. Needing a bop on the nose with a newspaper.

Shut the fuck up TomatoFace.

Shut the fuck up TomatoFace.

Shut the fuck up TomatoFace.

Shut the fuck up TomatoFace.

Shut the fuck up TomatoFace.

Shut the fuck up TomatoFace.

People are gullible and bring him out of the grey. Either because he writes a “normal” comment before starting to troll, or a ridiculous comment and someone ungreys the person who responds to him.
