**andrewdt85** , in the past 12 hours, you have started the following glittering imbecilities of threads: [A half-witted dump on doctors in general and **Qagdop** in particular.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=345709) [A doltish attack on the concept of great men in general and Quentin Tarantino in particular.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=345708) [An addle-pated post-count thread, as if _that_ were cause for celebration, in a forum with a sticky asking you not to do that.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=345720) [A cretinous question in ATMB about why the aforementioned thread was closed, when the answer had been clearly stated.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=345722) And those are just the ones I’ve found without looking: I don’t dare search in General Questions or Great Debates, for fear of finding what blithering inanities you may have begun. What _is_ it with you? You clearly have the brains of a cheese-mite and the social graces of a Barbary ape, but must you start a new thread about every buffoonish nerve impulse that flashes across what it pleases you to call your mind? Is your left brain wired directly to your fingers, with no interfering filter to stop your every moronic thought appearing on this board in the form of a new thread? Or are you simply an imbecile that flatters himself that we’re remotely interested in your inane ravings? If so, kindly disabuse yourself of this notion: you are an ill-mannered clodpoll and nobody cares what you think about anything. Kindly shut the fuck up. ---

It was definitely a good idea to stay out of GQ – he had seven or eight threads on the first page earlier today. You missed [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=345705) one in IMHO. I thought about pitting him, but when I realized he thought 12% was an appropriate tip, I figured some irate waitstaffperson would beat him to death pretty soon and we’d all be saved. ---

I haven’t yet read that thread, but I’ll assume from reading his other inane babbling that he’s that type of customer who you pray just LEAVES, even if they tip nothing at all, so they’ll stop trying to ask you your opinion on every thing on the menu, every shop on the street, every movie playing at the theater, every political party, and then kind of laughing to themselves and shaking their heads knowingly at your answer. Get out, crazy fool! I liked the medical thread, though. Especially the part about how psychologists are assholes because they expect to be paid for doing their jobs. Those greedy bastards! Oh, and also the for-no-reason dragging of Qagdop in there. Prove your point by insulting one of the most-loved Dopers! And please, please, please, \*\*andrew \*\* no more smilies, mmmkay? I already read your posts as though they were being written by a drunk, confused monkey, so the smilies are superfluous. ---

If my count is right, he started 18 threads within a three hour time span this morning. Presumably after he got back from the bar. ---

I believe he said he was 20, so no bar. Sub in “Presumably after he’d stumbled home from getting drunk under the bleachers some where. Perhaps alone, we don’t know”. ---

Argh! That’s why I just skipped that thread to begin with. I could just see me seething over yet another (almost) Mr. Pink. But I _did_ think that not only was he a lot more verbose than usual, but had seemingly for the first time ventured beyond CS. What’s up **andrew**? And please tell me, as a lowly waitress, that 12% figure was merely a joke? Right?? ---

And, because my thirst for cruel mockery is not yet slaked, MPSIMS this morning yields **The Turd From 20,000 Fathoms** , or [Dumps That Go Bump In The Night](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=345041) .

> [@Case Sensitive](#): > > [A doltish attack on the concept of great men in general and Quentin Tarantino in particular.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=345708) Well, to be fair, the idea of Quentin Tarantino as a great man _is_ a little hard to take seriously. But, otherwise, i tend to agree with the OP. ---

Has he always been this bad, or is someone pulling a prank on him? Maybe someone else is using his account. I can’t believe how stupid he has been this weekend. I’ve noticed his postings a little before today; he seemed mostly harmless. It is almost as if someone or something has possessed him. Jim ---

It’s very peculiar. The sheer _amount_ of threads started. The use of all-caps and coloured fonts. The demands for certain types of responses. Also the “we Doper’s” are “x” type of beseeching. If you had to pick one of the most unassailable Dopers to try and pick a fight with, I would certainly put **Quadgop the Mercotan** near the top of that list. WTF? The thing that really boggles my mind are some of the sane, normal responses from people. It’s as if a ten-foot tall, 4 armed lizard wearing a rainbow wig ran up to a group of people and screamed “Huzza ugga likop!! Where’s the movie theater?” and as I’m standing there gaping, the guy next to me just gives directions. ---

It could be worse. Looking at his profile, it seems **Scott Plaid** has been on sabbatical while **andrewdt85** has been on his spree. Imagining them in the same thread or, worse yet, arguing with one another is the stuff nightmares are made of.
