If you knew a candidate was a WSO troll, would you hire them?

I find it funny how some of the college students on here are huge trolls or just douchebags, yet, they also post enough info to be able to easily know who they are. Would you hire them if you saw their name come across a stack of resumes?

I see how one could say, "at least they have a personality", though on the flip-side, it could be seen as very immature.

I honestly think the odds of finding someone who read what you wrote, is in a position to hire people, and able to remember enough to connect the pieces to figure out your true identity is pretty slim. Plus, even if all those things did happen, there's a chance the troll posts were funny, in which case that'd improve your odds.
