In context. If you are not responding in context, but only to
identify the moron, then that's housekeeping.

I think your analysis misses the distinction of intention. A
moron or a co-moron isn't an intentional moron. In fact, I think
it is a defining characteristic of morons that they are
completely unaware that they are morons, and this would apply to
co-morons as well. Trolls are intentional trolls, otherwise they
are just kooks. So I don't think a troll is a co-moron, but maybe
a kook could be. Perhaps Dolan will give us a ruling.
