Yup. Kibo and Serdar Argic bumped metaphorical heads more than once, if I
recall correctly.(Assuming you accept the definition of kibo as a troll,
which is arguable either way.) Plus, there's the people who would mention
"turkey" in posts deliberately to trigger Serdar, which would be a human
troll using a bot as its trolling agent.
