Re: **SlackWit**. Face it. You’re a perv, with no comedic sense whatsoever, who can’t bluff for shit and sucks at poker. Your seminal accomplishment is that you aced an exam for high school students (I mean, maybe, I didn’t see the picture or the video or what have you myself). Oh, and you know how to use a thesaurus. Good job. ---

Of course he’s trolling. I don’t know why anybody is bothering to engage with him directly when he puts out perfectly good meme material all on his own. He’s a national treasure. [![](https://i.imgflip.com/4flrcw.jpg) ](https://i.imgflip.com/4flrcw.jpg) (I fixed the comma) ---

I really do think we’re close to nailing down @slackerinc’s character with this meme generating exercise. He’s all the worst (and only the worst) aspects of: Michael Scott, Kevin Malone, Creed, Dwight Schrute, and Robert California. A mindless super-creep with an inflated ego and no self-awareness. ETA: Oh. And a racist and a perv. I suppose that means we need to throw Todd Packer into the mix as well. ---

> [@ASL\_v2.0](#): > > who can’t bluff for shit and sucks at poker Fact check: currently #1 (out of 10) in the Doper poker rankings. Come play, try your hand and see how you do! You can also witness my sparkling personality if you join the Discord chat. (But no Pit-style shenanigans: treat it as you would the poker thread itself, combined with MPSIMS-style general discussion when there are no major poker confrontations happening.) ---

Those are slack’s own words from a thread on this message board, referring to 9/11: > [@Who else wants to confess an unorthodox or inappropriate response on 9/11/01?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-else-wants-to-confess-an-unorthodox-or-inappropriate-response-on-9-11-01/668631/17): > > Another arguably inappropriate response I had in the post-9/11 period was to be kind of mortified by all the garish poor taste being put on display. It was like we needed a _Queer Eye for the Whole Fucking Country_ or something, LOL. There really is no bottom on this guy. I thought to myself “What kind of inappropriate shit would Todd Packer say?” Then put in a search function for @slackerinc and came up, well, not so much surprised, but still somewhat mortified. ---

In fact, I feel like it needs to be noted that @slackerinc didn’t simply wander into that thread idly and reply one day. No. He started the whole fucking thing, just so he could share gems like that. And he led off with this one: > [@Who else wants to confess an unorthodox or inappropriate response on 9/11/01?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-else-wants-to-confess-an-unorthodox-or-inappropriate-response-on-9-11-01/668631/1): > > Really, I’m a good person. But this will make me sound like a \*bad \*person, which, again, I’m really not. I have presumably already scotched any chance of being a politician anyway, but if I hadn’t, this will be the end (though a few years ago I would have said the same about someone with a name like Obama’s who had a preacher like Jeremiah Wright, so who really knows). Yep. Wanted everyone to know that he’d have been shocked at the idea of “someone with a name like Obama’s” ever having a chance as a politician. Again, that’s the lead off to a thread he started to talk about inappropriate responses to 9/11. But he’s totally not a bad person, and totally not a racist. What. The fuck. ---

Not just “cool,” but “LOL” funny. ETA: And slack wants to make sure y’all join his poker game this week. The one that he spends all the rest of the week preparing for, because he can maybe occasionally squeak out a victory against casual or novice players, and so that gives his life meaning and purpose. ---

> [@ASL\_v2.0](#): > > he can maybe occasionally squeak out a victory against casual or novice players Not just occasionally, which is why I am number one. And there are some serious players there (including the very cagey player I beat in a long HU battle last night, who ran the original Dopers poker club that existed for several years) who would likely take exception to you describing them that way. But yeah, you should come play. Aren’t you curious to actually hear me talk after all these years interacting solely via the written word? Or are you afraid that it might humanize me too much and make it harder to come back here and make a scapegoat of me? Anyway, time for me to “spend the rest of the week preparing for” that Wednesday poker game. 🙄 Or, you know, just hanging out with the family and doing offline things for a few days, which is the _actual_ point. But I guess if you feel the need to imagine that I’m either “preparing” for poker, or secretly reading posts here and composing replies on a word processor, knock yourselves out. 🤷‍♂️ Either way, you have the thread to yourselves until Wednesday afternoon. ---
