Noah Smith wrote up a humorous piece about the different kinds of economics blog trolls. Where does Robin Hanson fit in?

Funny pictures. Other than that, it looks like a viable case study for Yvain's meditation on superweapons and bingo.

I think he's more of a legendary monster than a species of any ordinary troll, though he probably fits best as one of the scientists.

Actually, these seem to be only macroeconomics blog trolls. Robin Hanson doesn't talk about present-day macroeconomic issues very much, so he's probably not any of them.
