He gets riled up a little easily and says some really dumb things, but he means well. ---

Yeah I noticed this too. I was wondering why this guy suddenly seemed to be all over the boards, then I saw this: > [@](#): > > Join Date: 03-07-2004 > > Total Posts: 471 (23.65 posts per day) Now I see. It’s because he’s suddenly all over the boards. Just as a totally unrelated thought that was not at all prompted by this thread here, I was wondering if the new pay-to-post system would cut down on spectacular flameouts. ---

Just to help **owlofcreamcheese** out, I saw [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=247495) by **askeptic** earlier today. I’m not sure if he’s really pitworthy yet, just that maybe he needs to think a little longer before posting. ---

(Accidentaly posted in the rabid rabbi thread) Stuff like this… > [@askeptic](#): > > Ah yes, the lovely, and eloquent, predictable ilsa (who is a guy) offers another gentle rebuke. By all means get off your hands and tear me to shreads. Why don’t you pit me several times in one day like you did to aldeberan? …just isn’t posted by newbies. Whoever this guy is, he hit the ground running when he started up, familiar with everyone and everything. He called me Lib in his very first post to me, and seemed familiar with me in a spooky way that I wouldn’t expect from someone here less than a month. I reported three such incidences. I’m not saying anything in particular; maybe he lurked for like four years or something. There was a hand-stabber here at one time who was so ascerbic that even the board’s hard atheists disowned him, and I can’t remember his name. Although Askeptic sounds a lot like him, it is metaphysically possible that it is just a confluence of coincidences. ---

A particularly vicious and evangelistic atheist. Think Madalyn Murray O’Hare. ---

Nah, I don’t have to say anything outrageous at all, I only need speak the truth. Lib IS a loon of the first degree. He has “proof” god exists, has thwarted modern atomic theory by “proving” atoms do not exist. How could I possibly say anything more outrageous than this- he proves himself a loon. Libertarian is a cancer of ignorance. He is highly intelligent and uses every chance he can to be as dishonest as possible in “proving” things of dubious soundness. We try to fight ignorance here, not promote intellectual masterbation and dishonesty in trying to bully others and prove to others that he has a brain. (read: trying to prove he is so much better than everybody else) Unfortunately you cannot fight cancer with kindness. Too many people on this message board support this stain upon the message board. I rate him with the same crackpotness as His4ever, leroy, and every other wierdo and loony person that has come this way. He is merely more intelligent, but a loon all the same. Truely if Lib were so intelligent he would have contributed to the acedemic world, I mean if he has proof atoms don’t exist, perhaps he should be published in a peer reviewed journal or something? Yet all he does is sit on this message board masturbating and spewing his loony semen all over the 'lesser foes." You should be ashamed in defending him. Or do you regularly defend Ignorance? ---

We try to fight ignorance here, not promote intellectual masterbation and dishonesty in trying to bully others and prove to others that he has a brain. (read: trying to prove he is so much better than everybody else) \*\* But, see, he wasn’t actually _doing_ any of that stuff _here_. If you see him doing stuff like that, by all means, feel free to jump him if the spirit so moves you. Th’ thing of it is though, I’ve seen **Lib** post tons of stuff besides the philosophical stuff that causes you emotional trauma. Posts about game shows, posts about books, posts about just silly/fun shit. You? I’ve only seen you stalk him (and I’m willing to grant that you may, in fact, have a posting history that I’ve missed that _doesn’t_ involve you stalking **Lib**. But I haven’t seen it). And stalking is _much_ more annoying than any alleged “ignorance”. > [@](#): > > \*\*Unfortunately you cannot fight cancer with kindness. Too many people on this message board support this stain upon the message board. \*\* Y’know, **Lib** and I have had some pretty strong arguments/disagreements over politics and other topics–and yet he’s remained civil, even when I disagree with him. You? The above makes you sound not just like a stalker, but a scary _psycho_ stalker. > [@](#): > > \*\*I rate him with the same crackpotness as His4ever, leroy, and every other wierdo and loony person that has come this way.

Ahd yet, here you are on a message board “masturbating and spewing your” stalker-esque semen all over". :rolleyes: Lord save me from little people with big inferiority complexes. > [@](#): > > \*\*You should be ashamed in defending him. Or do you regularly defend Ignorance? \*\* :rolleyes: No, Senator McCarthy, I’ve not now, nor have I ever defended ignorance. I _do_ get annoyed by stalkers hijacking threads while gleefully admitting to trolling to get reactions though.
