> [@dropzone](#): > > **Peter Morris** is not generally an asshole, but there is one person who cannot be mentioned in his presence without earning one a warning. I choose to not mention that person and if you don’t know who it is don’t dig because you cannot profit from it. Let sleeping dogs lie and let **Peter** continue to be the worthwhile poster he is by not tempting him. We all have our _bêtes noires_. > > Where’s my halo smilie? 😉 I dunno, he was also pretty phenomenally shitty in that thread about the politico who didn’t want to be named in the newspaper. ---

> [@Dave\_Hartwick](#): > > … it struck me funny that Der Trihs posted and nobody even blinked. **Der Trihs** ’s outrageous posts are so commonplace that they’re just boring, and easily overlooked as a result of jaded familiarity. That no one blinked is not a sign of agreement, or acquiescence, but rather a sign of “Oh, yeah. Der Trihs is being an asshole again. \>Yawn\<. It must that day that ends in y.” Unless you want the SDMB to turn into The Der Trihs Show, you can’t reasonably expect us to repudiate him each and every time he makes an assholish statement. ---

And yet we’re quite prepared to make this thread into the adahiemer show. Actually, I think nobody really said anything when DT posted mainly because he has toned down his zealotry. Not because he’s grown as a person or someone managed to reach out to him despite his bigotry, no. He knocked it off because the mods finally started warning him like any other epic asshole. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > “Rectums”, please. “Anuses”, if you simply _must_ be crude. There is a distinct difference, though. A rectum can be and often is full of shit for extended periods of time, whereas an anus is only briefly full of shit, in the process of distributing its unappetizing (to most, anyway) content. ---
