I dunno, he was also pretty phenomenally shitty in that thread about the politico who didn’t want to be named in the newspaper.
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.
The list would be a lot shorter if you asked who didn’t.

Well John, so far we got five pages of terrible. If only those asshole mods would have closed it way back when.

I said I hoped I was wrong, so I guess I got my wish!
I think it’s been hilarious. Especially when the sanctimonious types showed up and tried to be ‘civil’ in a thread about assholes. ![]()
“Rectums”, please. “Anuses”, if you simply must be crude.
Recta. Ani. Asshole. ![]()
I’m sure there’s some kind of asshole test using paper towels.
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.
Speak for yourself.
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.
I didn’t because I know that people see me more as an annoyance than a flaming asshole. You, on the other hand… ![]()
A particular mod started demanding that I either remain silent or lie on several subjects, and I refuse to lie. So I’ve been posting less.
Principles. Use 'em or lose 'em.
You forgot to call him an asshole.
Asshole.
Guilty.
Motherfornicatin’ asshole.
Rectum? Damn near killed him!
Are you saying Jesus is an asshole? Does He post here? ![]()
I wonder what his stance on corn is…
eta: What an asshole.
If it’s still on the cob, probably fairly wide.
I just made the list, didn’t I?
