And of course, there’s no reason he can’t be both …
That’s some pretty low hanging fruit, Fen. Even the nonnies have a no-snark rule against Bosda.
All I know about Bosda is that for a while, a few years ago, he was constantly posting breathlessly panicked “the sky is falling” threads about every news story that came out about any new disease development. Swine flu, bird flu, antibiotic-resistant superbugs, etc, etc. Every few days there was another thread with a link to some news article and dire predictions about how we were all going to be wiped out in this new, latest apocalypse. It got to where I couldn’t even open them any more because I got so irritated. He’s been off my radar since then, though.
By the way, you so totally lost that argument. Where’s your counter-rebuttal?
(Also, [old-farty-comment-mode] I wish there were more threads like that these days [/old-farty-comment-mode]
Low hanging fruit that you keep banging your head against needs to be pruned from the tree. (WORST ANALOGY EVER! 
)
In any case, that rule is 'cause the nonnies assume he’s retarded (as such). I don’t think he is (hence the two links above*). I think he’s just more self-absorbed than a triple-ply tampon and a totally asshole who’s never been properly housebroken. I’m sick of seeing him snap at people and get away with it. (check this one out. Yeah, he was kinda right, but 40 point boldfaced centered “Rubbish!” in response to someone who’s not a native English speaker (IIRC) who made a factual error? Again, this is douchebaggery, not mental retardation.)
*Regardless of the accuracy of his opinions and the competence of his debate skills in those two threads, he’s clearly not mentally handicapped. And if he’s mentally ill, well, I can’t make allowances if I don’t know.
If’n it’s alright with you, in my mind I’m going to go ahead and insert a comma after “people.”
Presumably not retarded, as his biography on this site mentions winning a National Merit Scholarship (“A Male person. Taught myself to read at age 3. National Merit Scholarship Winner. I have my own 9-banded armadillo {stuffed}. Personality–Saturine.”).
I was only a semi-finalist, so I’d have to admit he got further than I did.
You may insert a comma anywhere you want, as long as you do it in the privacy of your own home. 
I’m still worrying about the upcoming apocalapse. Where we all die because somebody forgets to do something important.. And you know THATS going to happen sooner or later. Now I gotta go out and hunt me some corn. Better get the shot gun and the corn dogs out.
Are you people fucking serious? He’s not literally retarded. He’s a fucking retard, and deserves the pitting. There is one, count 'em, ONE poster I refuse to consider pitting, despite my hair-pulling fits when I read his posts, because he actually IS ill. This Bosda clown, who I never really noticed until the Greasemonkey thread, needs a cock punch.

Judging solely on his writing style and not the dimwitted content, I’m wondering if he won the National Merit Scholarship with his scores in the talent competition.
See what I’m doing right now, Bosda? I’m joining related sentences together to make what the kids call today a paragraph. It’s easy, fun and there’s no additional cost. When the sentences I am typing are about the same topic, I just keep typing and not hitting Enter after each period. It helps tie my thoughts together. See?
And since I have a new topic, here’s another paragraph! See the very first word of my new paragraph? It’s three mere keystrokes. It helps me connect grammatically coordinate words and phrases. It’s super neato! It also helps me avoid using extraneous commas and ampersands which tend to make your prose look even more ridiculous before the content can be analyzed. Let me show you a fun example.
Bosda style: Bosda reminds me of Grampa Simpson, & Dana Carvey’s Old Grumpy Man character.
Non dipshit style: Bosda reminds me of Grampa Simpson and Dana Carvey’s Old Grumpy Man character.
I know, teaching a pig to sing.
Or he could be lying.
Wait! Are you suggesting that someone on the Dope would lie about their achievements?
BTW, I taught myself to read at 3 months. I was doing differential calculus before I was out of diapers. And I won a National Merit Scholar SuperUberScholarship. To Harvoxcambton!
sniff Harvoxcambton was my safety school. They offered me a double scholarship, but I turned them down.
Ignore does wonders. In all of my time here, he’s the only one I’ve ever put on ignore, not so much for the idiocy as for the combination of aggressive stupidity and the constant use of dozens of emoticons per post. Aggressive stupidity I can handle, but it’s so much more pleasant to not have to scroll past mountains of emoticons.
As an 8-month foetus, I turned down an invitation to teach there. I felt that a pre-natal winner of five honorary doctorates could do better.
Maybe Maybe not but what kind of person out of college talks about their psat scores? Not even SAT scores. psat scores are what got you the national merit scholarships when I was in high school. You probably needed some letter of recommendation from teachers too but if you are not being actively abusive to your teachers those are easy to get.
A few years ago, I was looking at the website of the MIT Media Lab and happened to look at the CV for one of the professors there. He listed “National Merit Scholar” on his CV, which I thought was hilarious. I’d think that being a professor at MIT would trump a high school achievement. (Recently I tried to go back and find that CV but couldn’t.)
He was full of crap in the loan thread … It was about his relationship with his father, he could secure a loan if he wanted to … For fuck’s sake that was annoyingly fucking dumb.
