Once God wooshed one troll in Nantucket,  
Who sought Truth in only one bucket;  
Johnny M came to say  
“There is only one Way!”  
But his efforts were poorly construc’ed.

I did report the post just for the hell of it but I am less concerned about it breaking the rules than it just being my opinion that that was the incorrect approach towards this guy.

You seriously _reported_ it? _That_ little wisecrack? Oh for the love of . . . I don’t mind being jabbed–“if you can’t stand the heat,” etc.–but if I am actually warned by the Mods for _that_ post, this would hardly the kind of place I’d want to be anyway.

Particularly since it followed **tomndebb** ’s [post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7996547&postcount=8) containing this remark:

Dude seems like a harmless flake to me. He’ll go away soon enough, probably when his guest membership runs out, if not before.

Yes. I was being a brat when I did that. I shouldn’t have done it.

So, **Eve** , are you interested in addressing my objection to your OP or are you just going to “dine-and-dash?”

Do you really think his single additional clarification is adequate tending of his two GD threads and not significantly closer to being “hit and run”?

It might be an opportunity if he was present and engaged on any of the points or questions directed to him.

Oho! So you think, huh, **hajario** ,  
That I can’t find a way or scenario  
To rhyme with your name?  
HA! My lim’ricking fame  
Demands that I prove the contrary – so!

Eve, If an idiot troll makes you question the existence of your god, then you have more issues than this clown. Yet we have an opportunity here. Emotionally, you are just one hop skip and jump from Secular Humanist World! Come join us. It’s really quite liberating. Atheism has so many positive aspects – really, you’ll love it.

I hope you don’t mind if I pass your name and address along to my communist, homosexual, and sundry radical leftist associates. We’re all on the lookout for your crises of conscience – you make the best kinds of recruits for our Army of Darkness. 😉

A Pitizen Doper, **hajario**  
Took a junior modding scenario  
“Don’t blast guests,” he told **Eve**  
“For what they believe  
Or for improper use of _punctuario_.”

(Yeah, it’s lame; so sue me!)

Shit. What have I started?

BTW, not that “hajario” has a correct pronunciation but when I say it in my head the accent is on the “i”, like hah-jah-ree-oh, not hah-jar-ee-oh, but rhyming it with scenario is pretty fucking clever I must admit.

BTW2, Polycarp’s response [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7998231&postcount=27) was excellent and I think a better way to handle those kinds of OPs.

Said a Doper called Hajario  
“Though Johnny would kill Ronnie Dio,  
He deserves response wise  
Not a catch phrase that lies  
On the lines of the Duran song Rio.”

Not very good, I admit, but you didn’t give me much to work with! 😛
