> [@C3](#): > > I really don’t get why people freak out over **Dio** so much. Because once he comes into a thread, he never. _EVER_. shuts. the. fuck. up. Seriously, in the thread that prompted this, once he came in at least 50% of the posts have been by him and a vast majority have been by him or ABOUT him. He’s a fucking troll and a fucking attention whore, and unfortunately lots of people around here can’t resist rising to his bait and they allow him to totally overrun a thread. As one of the posters in that thread said: > [@Boyfriend spanked my son without my permission. Advice on how to chew him out most effectively?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/boyfriend-spanked-my-son-without-my-permission-advice-on-how-to-chew-him-out-most-effectively/559934/125): > > Forget it. This thread has been **Dio** ’d. Any nuanced discussion is now impossible. better luck next time, OP. Game over. DtC came in and now it’s totally mutated into the Dio Show. Just like every other fucking thread he comes into. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/diogenes-the-cynic/560062)._
