I called him “Bedbug” in another thread. I vote for that or “Bedwetter”

Cecil said it. I believe it. That settles it.

I have taken the liberty of working out a few statististical probabilities. Here’s what I came up with:

Odds of bedboy4 returning: 85%  
Odds of bedboy4 using a similar name: 60%  
Odds of bedboy4 getting an e-mail account along the lines of “[fuckyouwallym7@hotmail.com](mailto:fuckyouwallym7@hotmail.com)”: 50%  
Odds of bedboy4 being banned again within one week of his reappearance: 100%  
Odds of bedboy4 returning, apologizing, then leaving never to return: Uncertain, but somewhat lower than that of being struck by lightning while urinating in a public park.

Of course, it is important to keep in mind that these are probabilities, not certainties. Nonetheless, I feel very strongly that many of these shall be borne out.

Wow! Once again the magnificent Tuba is on a troll like a chicken on a june-bug. Or like a heat-seeking (troll-seeking?) missile. This woman shows no mercy - before long, trolls everywhere will tremble at the mere mention of her name.

TubaDiva - Supreme Troll-whacker of the SDMB! Long may she reign! (or is that ‘rein’?)
