**Gyrate** shouldn’t feel bad that they disappeared and no one noticed. People disappear all the time. But what will really sting is if they do ever come back and no one notices. I guess we’ll see, assuming they return some day. ---

I leave for up to a year at a time, which is evidently unremarkable, as is my return. ---

Say, whatever happened to **susan**? The funniest part of the Baldwin thread is Madsirderp practically wetting his pants trying to convict him of something…anything. Hell hath no fury like a Trumpie after their dickhead Jesus gets mocked. ---

Warnings: May 21, 2021 Warning July 27, 2021 Warning July 27, 2021 Suspension August 20, 2021 Warning Another disingenuous argument. Seriously, everyone on this board knows that this is a dishonest smear considering how it was Donald Trump who negotiated with the Taliban exclusively. This is a lie.

I didn’t really mind his doomsaying (because he did have a point, however shrill he was in making it), but the homophobic slurs in the baseball thread were _waaayy_ over the line. (And stupid, too. He was objecting to baseball players wearing braces to prevent injuring their hands while sliding; what’s quote-unquote "unmanly’ about that?) ---

He’d have been more tolerable if he gave more of a sign he actually cared more about helping people than feeling superior to us dullard masses. ---

Goddammit. He was an ass, the only person I ever had on certain lists (for a year or so) in my time here, but it sucks to see him flame out like this. The internet, man, just a fantastic vector for mental disorders. ---

Hell hath no fury like a Trumpie after their dickhead Jesus gets mocked. At least this time, he’s only demanding jail time. Last year, [he was calling for Adam Savage to be executed](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/adam-savage-of-mythbusters-accused-of-rape-and-incest/913846) (but would settle for life without parole). 🙄 ---

It was worse than “unmanly” it was that he compared them to gay men because of course being gay is unmanly in his mind. And then he said that beards on baseball players is also unmanly. Like what the fuck is more manly than a full beard? ---

Correct username for low IQ guy. Never been a Trump fan. In fact I asked the mods if I could post a Trump Should be Assassinated thread. ---
