I wonder?
I’m wondering why a person who doesn’t own a ‘19 RDX, or even own an Acura for that matter, would troll this forum with inane or asinine comments. I understand a person seeking info from real owners to make a buying decision would visit for awhile, but why would a troll comment for months? Any thoughts? My intuition tells me the troll will comment soon to this thread. See if you can identify him or her. I’ll be gone for a few days wandering Indiana.

so easy doing it on sites like ours. IF a person goes too far and one of the Moderators have not caught it....then let them know.
I have a '19 RDX A-Spec, white/red. Had (3) Gen 2's, also have an '18 TLX A-Spec, had a TSX Special Edition...great car. And then 12 Hondas going back to an "84 Prelude.
Looks like we both like Honda Motor Corp. vehicles!
Have fun in Indy...I was born and raised in Northern Indiana...75 mile north of Indianapolis.
Take care.

Huh. I think the troll count is pretty low on this forum compared to others I visit.
There's a 2019 RDX Advance, two MDXs, and a CRV currently active in my family fleet. 12 Honda/Acura vehicles going back to a cherry red 1984 Honda Prelude, purchased new. With a couple Jeeps mixed in to help me appreciate Honda engineering and reliability.
Sadly, text is an imperfect medium for conveying interpersonal communications. The nuances of speech inflection and body language help us distinguish between light-hearted BS and mean-spirited attacks.
But a textual drive-by shooting is perilously close to trolling behavior, even if it's an alleged troll you're trolling.
As Colorado suggests, if ya got something to say, say it.

Internet trolls pick fights on the internet generally because they’re gutless and wouldn’t pick a fight with anyone face to face. They have this burning desire to instigate and stir the poop, but they can’t do it with anyone in real life, so internet forums are the perfect ecosystem to fulfill their needs.

they troll because they can’t afford one themselves so they try to make owners feel bad about buying one. It helps them to justify their internal rationale for not buying one but truthfully they couldn’t if they wanted to.

This. Best to ignore and not engage. If you/we don't respond, they lose. They live for a response. Don't give it to them. One thing for sure is that on the internet, you can NEVER change anyone's mind. Never. Back and forth's get you nowhere. Ignore and be happy.
