When he isn’t being our own Dennis The Peasant, he’s spouting shit like this: > [@Virginia gov. yearbook page has Klan and blackface pictures](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/virginia-gov-yearbook-page-has-klan-and-blackface-pictures/828809/254): > > Northam isn’t resigning because he doesn’t feel the need to resign. After all, it was “a joke” among (white) friends, and besides, look what he’s done for the Negro in the time since. Would you rather have had Gillespie as governor? Northam “protected” the Negro from the Republican party’s racism; therefore, people should be grateful. Seriously, dude, where do you get off with shit like this? Go stick your head in a pig. ---

Your quoted reference sounds to me like a rather heavy-handed attempt at sarcasm, but being this is asahi we’re talking about, you never know. But I will support this pitting on the basis of my general annoyance as his semi-hysterical postings about how all is lost and his “I’m-smarter-than-thou” writing style having caused me visual problems due to having rolled my eyes once too often while reading an asahi post. Man needs Prozac…and if he’s taking it, up the dose! ---

I do feel sorry for the poor guy. Someone needs to set him up a GoFundMe to pay for a set of "The End is Nigh! " sandwich boards, so he could spend some of his time on the streetcorner and give folks here a break. ---

He’s using his idol Huey Freeman’s rhetorical technique of putting taboo words in the mouths of other people. He just doesn’t have the balls to go the whole way.

I recommend more of you join me in this, which will remove any temptation you may have to feed that troll. I don’t think he’s a troll, I think he’s sincere. Asshole? Yep. Irrational? Sure. Incapable of actual debate? Hell yeah. But a troll? I don’t think so. And I too don’t see his posts. Makes reading the board a lot easier. ---

I’d tell him to go stick his dick in a pig’s head, but he’d only disagree that that’s the conservative way of doing things.

Even worse, it’s a piss-poor analysis of what Northam’s probably thinking. Being on the far left, I’m experiencing the same fun that folks like Sam Stone probably get when doorhinge or WillFarnaby posts. Sometimes you just wish someone would shut the hell up and stop making your side look bad. ---

To be fair, **Bone** did give **asahi** [a warning](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21469353&postcount=287) over the post that I Pitted him over, with the comment: > [@Virginia gov. yearbook page has Klan and blackface pictures](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/virginia-gov-yearbook-page-has-klan-and-blackface-pictures/828809/287): > > Hate speech or trolling…it took me a a few moments to decide. This is a warning for trolling. If this is what you have left to offer, your stay will be short. So suicide by mod isn’t a done deal, for sure, but it’s still on the table. ---

I wish there were a way to mark a thread so I could find it later. When Trump or his supporters do something vile, we get the resident right-wingers on this board doing their typical “oh both sides are extremists” nonsense, and invariably they will use **asahi** as the poster child as the left-wing crank who speaks for all Democrats (at least in the minds of **Shodan** , **HD** , etc). Here we have a very opinionated progressive, **RTFirefly** , going out of his way to say **asahi** is a nut. This made me think, “When is the last time that **Shodan** pitted **doorhinge**? Or **HD** pitted that Erudite fuckstick, whoever he is?” The answer is obviously, never. And when the “both sides do it!” chorus arrives again, I’m going to remind them of it. ---
