His use of random Latin does ring alarm bells as far as trolling, though. It'd be pretty obvious from my reply alone that my vocabulary is rather unusual, and he didn't start responding in this manner until after my post, too. It wasn't particularly clever of him to do so if he wished to annoy people, though; that sort of linguistic abuse is more often seen as a joke than a nuisance.
I'm also doubtful that he's an alt from a previous user here. If he were, he probably wouldn't accuse me of listening to the Beatles in order to provoke a response. I'd think he'd pick something more pop, less rock, and more recent than the British Invasion, maybe Morning Musume or something.
