The entire reason Lord Tony started posting pony fandom related material is so that he could annoy people with it. He wanted this kind of reaction so that he could go, "A-ha! I was right all along! Ponies are annoying and you guys just didn't care until I did it!"
He isn't a troll, he's a child. He's using the same backass logic that a first grader would use to prove to his teacher he doesn't deserve a time out.
And what's absolutely amazing to me is that, even as he does this, I still cannot force myself to care about ponies. I found him bitching relentlessly about Pony Pictures outside of the Pony Thread many times more agonizing than any of the actual pictures. I would pick this kind of Lord Tony over the old one any day of the week. The most annoying thing Lord Tony can do is be himself.
