…as evidenced by your fuckwit behaviour in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=388370) and [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7781843&postcount=5) in what was otherwise a cool thread, I can look forward to a short membership from you, thankfully. God, you are an objectionanable cunt. ---

I’ve noticed **diggleblop** mainly due to his posting of a large number of ignorant and poorly thought out questions in GQ. Now, an occasional ignorant question isn’t a great problem, but **diggleblop** is making a career out of it. You’d think that the guy would at least _occasionally_ look at Google or Wikipedia before posting. And of course, there was his rather obvious [trolling](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=386975) in this GQ thread about his penis size. If he’s also making the kind of comments you linked too, I’d agree then it’s time for him to either clean up his act or be booted. ---

[QUOTE=Hogwash] And being somewhat proud about it, it would seem. [/QUOTE] From the link: [QUOTE=diggleblop] Also, I’ve asked more great questions on this board in my short amount of time here than you ever could. [/QUOTE] He’s really just a misunderstood genius guys! We just don’t get what he’s saying because his intellect is miles beyond…um, something. Its actually kind of sad. No, he won’t last long. The few times he’s come on my own radar is because of his odd style of writing (not that I’m one to complain :)), spelling, etc, and his aggressive attitude. I predict a short carreer on the board…and one quickly forgotten. This time next year I have a hard time believing anyone is going to be saying “What ever happened to diggleblop? He just doesn’t post anymore…” 😛 -XT p.s. Just can’t generate any real hate and discontent about this guy. He’s really not worth the effort to even pit him. Give it another week then look for the telltail BANNED next to his name… ---

I find it really bizarre that this dumbfuck hasn’t been banned yet. He’s beyond annoying, and the penis trolling thread in GQ was the last straw as far as I, at least, am concerned. ---

For comparison’s ske, here are the last seven questions **Lemur866** has asked: How did the greek letter “phi” get transliterated to “ph”? What man-made objects are referred to by the material they are made of? Uses of Aluminum for medieval weapons and armor What are the differences between Windows 98 and XP? Is extortion a legal defense against a criminal charge? Is the spanish term “campesino” derogatory? My Dog Just Ate a Disposable Diaper And diggleblop’s last seven: Why can’t we recall the U. S. President? What is this called on this person’s legs? Laws regarding politicians knowing sensitive What causes humans to get out of breath? Eating after having a tooth pulled? Why do some states force men to pay child support Question about domain name legalities? You be the judge. ---

I gotta say, in that first thread you link to, **Argent’s** post struck me as a little belligerant. He disavows belligerance, and I believe him, but it is clear to me that someone could have reasonably interpreted his post as belligerant. So **digglebop** felt he was being attacked unfairly, and was IMO reasonable to think so, and he responded defensively. Par for the course. -FrL- ---

[QUOTE=Frylock] So **digglebop** felt he was being attacked unfairly, and was IMO reasonable to think so, and he responded defensively. Par for the course. [/QUOTE] I disagree; he responded aggressively. A defensive reponse might have been “Sorry, that’s not what i’m looking for, and I don’t think your tone is appropriate” or something like that. “Asshole comments” is a response in kind\*, and you don’t get let off breaking the rules just because someone else started it. \*Though I don’t think there was any belligerency there myself. ---

I have now read the second thread. I think **Digglebop** needs some slack to be cut on his behalf. He’s new, he’s learning the ropes, he’s not sure what should be interpreted as impugning him and what should not, and so on. Maybe he’s being more defensive than most people would be in the same circumstances. But I don’t see anything unforgivable. He just needs to be shown (not simply told sternly) that defensiveness is not necessary in the contexts in question. -FrL- ---

[QUOTE=Colibri] So you believe this was a reasonable reaction? [/QUOTE] See my subsequent post. His judgment that he was being unfairly attacked was reasonable. His reaction was a little strong–but he’s new around here and doesn’t know, yet, what counts as “reasonable.” Standards of reasonableness differ from context to context, and esp. from community to community. I’m just saying, give him a chance to adjust. 🙂 -FrL- ---

I agree that **Argent Tower** ’s post in the first linked thread was a bit belligerent, but **diggleblop** ’s response was far out of line. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/diggleblop-learn-the-fucking-rules/372946.md?page=2)
