**BigT** , you poor, poor, soul. You always try to defend those who do not deserve to be defended, and and you are always a step behind. **etv78** started a thread on the SDMB asking if he is he only one who [trolls](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=665178). A mod from another board chimed in here to say he had to ban **etv78** for trolling.

Pardon us if we think **etv78** might be trolling.

I can’t promise this is the same etv78, but anyone who has given birth is llikely to agree this a a bunch of shit: [Nikki and Brittany are here!!! | Mothering Forum](http://www.mothering.com/community/t/1067916/nikki-and-brittany-are-here)

One does not simply give birth to a set of twins with a combined weight of 15lbs with a simple grunt. Double so if one twin comes out ass first.

Eta that is a mild example of the crap I saw

That is so bizarre. Soem of his other posts are similar crap, but that’s all it is - utter crap. Nothing actually “trolly” in the sense of being blatantly (or otherwise) designed to get a rise out of people. Just pure time wasting.

Then it appears I need to take a nap, too. Possibly a dirt nap.

I bow before your 4861 posts per year average. Mine is but a paltry 2970.

ETA: We should have a SDMB wager on who reaches 100,000 posts first (though it will probably fry the board for a month or two) between you and Marley.

If you’re dumb enough to troll a bunch of boards _with the same username_…

A data point, but another user who was banned from here for making racist comments was banned from another board for doing the same thing. Using the same username.

Oops, didn’t realize until **Marley** posted that he has a 20,000 post lead on **RNATB** already. So…maybe wager on a date/year when Marley hits 100,000 posts, effectively shutting the board down for x amount of days/months/years?

He did that already. How soon we forget. 😉

Not for days/months/years. I have to give myself something to work up to.

Drawing a blank on when that happened…not that the board hasn’t had its share of downtime, but I don’t recollect anything specific to **Marley** causing it to happen (whoosh ahoy?).

So I assume that nobody has ever reached 100k posts before. So **Marley** , tell us, how do you feel about this monumental event that’s rapidly approaching? You are often accused of overmoderating in order to pad your post count…is that true? And finally, do you get a solid gold coffee cup for hitting 100,000 posts?

On [Marley’s first day](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=623616&highlight=23skidoo) as an admin, he banned _everybody._

It astounds me that not one poster in that thread expressed any doubt or asked any questions about the births.

Oh, quite right, I remember that now. It was over so quickly though so I didn’t remember that. I thought it was something that happened a long time ago before I was around. I also didn’t realize that was his first day as admin. Quite an auspicious debut, that!
