:It was not my intent to specifically taunt him/her. However, they are clearly fooling around. "Haha Long Boy" is a harmless but pretty much meaningless "meme" (see: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/long-boy) which was popular among certain millennials about a year ago. On their profile page the put the grammatical equivalent of "XD" which is supposed to represent a face with mouth open and eyes tightly closed in laughter. This user is not being overtly harmful, so I was granting them the benefit of the doubt. However, in response to their goofy (childish?) behavior, I decided to "toss it right back" to them and see what happened. I suspect this is a troll, but I don't know yet. It is my intent to not be unduely hostile, but to learn their intent at the same time.

:Thanks for the feedback, though. I didn't say more to them at the time because I was still trying to determine their intentions, and didn't want to waste time on a troll. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 23:18, 3 December 2017 (EST)
