is the Elno supposed to be comedic or just derogatory?

It doesn't really strengthen your point like you think it might. And ironically is right out of Trump's playbook (who you are railing against a few comments above)

Ok I guess one can take different standpoints on this one. Part of it is naming taboo / damnatio memoriae, also observed for years by Stephen Colbert who had all written references to Trump starred out (as in, T*p or similar) and only referred to him in the spoken as "the former president" (even when reading out a quote that had "Trump" written). Other than that, Elno is derogatory, yes. The "right out of T*p's playbook" makes me think, of course.
