What amazes me about Acey is his persistence. If I was on a board where my every post was met with mockery and derision, I’d get the hell out and look for a friendlier place. Not Acey; he’ll never leave. Each time he posts, it’s as if he’s forgotten the thousands of previous times he got raked over the coals. Or maybe he thinks that _this time_ it’ll be different and his Doper pals will agree with him. And his sticking to his story of having a wife and two daughters, even though he’s been repeatedly called out on the plot holes. I get that he doesn’t want to fess up, but he could at least stop mentioning them. Nope, not happening. ---

> [@Ravenman](#): > > so there’s a familar pattern with so many of his OPs: > > 1. He starts out with some kind of 7th grade, conventional wisdom on an issue > 2. People explain that it’s not that simple > 3. He resists > 4. People persist > 5. He ends up mostly agreeing, probably to quell the argument Step 2 (between 1 and 2) is when he makes the second post to his OP. It comes a few minutes later and it’ll not only not follow the first post, but almost seems like a reply. A reply to a post or follow up question that no one asked. With how unrelated to anything it is and how soon it shows up, I always assume he prepared it before hand. [Here’s](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=876094) a great example. In post 1 he asks if people use a fan in the bedroom at night. In post two he says that he does in summer, but not in winter. I’d post more, but the majority of threads he starts, he’s also the first person to reply to. It’s hare to pick just a few. ---

A reply to a post or follow up question that no one asked. He explained that once, although I can’t find the post now. After he posts an OP, he think of something he wants to add and edits the message. Then he thinks of something else and re-edits it. He keeps doing this until the five-minute editing window expires; then he’s forced to add a second post to continue his thoughts. Usually two posts are enough for an Acey OP, but once in a while he resorts to three. > [@Qadgop\_the\_Mercotan](#): > > I can’t read _any_ of the Onion’s [editorial](https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/dvokty5xqkmzz4voa3hn.jpg) [cartoons](https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/eorihz1tft9s3y4vspcq.jpg) without thinking of **Acey** anymore.

To be fair, the _headline_ of the mod instructions just said “[Moderating]”. How could anyone expect Acey to know what was contained in the instructions from that headline? ---

Acey’s mind is a hamster wheel with a dyslexic lab rat getting brain-zapped while doing laps in the Allan institute. The poor fellow analyses allegorically, analogically, tropologically . . . anything but literally and contextually. ---

Prime example “I overthought,” meaning he took a long time to come up with a lame excuse. I thought he had a template for that. ---

I’ve never been able to figure out aceplace’s age. I assumed he was born in 1957. But then he says other things that make him older or younger.
