This post is about the Tim McVeigh fan, Nasty Sealion, aka HD, aka He-who-shouldnt-be-named. His first name is a word meaning Atlantic Ocean cyclone. His last name is that of a famous football coach. The reason I don’t write his name in full will be clear. Several in this thread have made the suggestion that we just ignore this nasty oaf. After he went whining to the Mods again about my latest mention(\*) of him, I’ve decided to act to prevent his name coming to my eyes again. - - HD, recall, is the same asshole who condemns the petite Yvette Falarca for pushing a big strong Nazi with her bare hands, while judging that Tim McVeigh’s massacre of hundreds of Americans was ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿. (I am forbidden to repeat that ordinary phrase at SDMB.) _ **I choose not to look at his name ever again.** _ If you want to comment on him, I ask that you use a euphemism, e.g. HD or The-Asshole-who-shouldnt-be-named. On or after this date if I see any post that contains his name (whether full, first or last), \*\*The poster who allowed HD’s name to appear will also be placed on my Ignore list. \*\* If you must quote one of his posts, and _ **you want me to place you on my Ignore list, no action is required.** _ If/when I see that post, you will be placed on Ignore. If you don’t want to be Ignored, go into the generated script and replace his full name with “HD” or a “.”. (If you post in a thread started by HD, no action is required — I never read such threads.) I do not know whether the Board’s software allows me to exchange PMs with someone on my Ignore list. I will post additions to my Ignore list in this thread. If you see your name as Ignored here, promise to stop quoting HD posts, and want me to read your posts, PM me (if allowed) and I will take you off the Ignore list. ---

Way to make the thread about _you_, my friend.

What if the words just accidently line up to form his name? Something like: “The legendary coach said the wind was like a hurricane. Ditka also said he saw a lot of debris flying around” Would THAT get me placed on ignore? ---

You will have no way of knowing if you’re on someone’s Ignore list unless they broadcast that fact in the Pit. So the software does not automatically reciprocate **septimus** ’s action, and he’ll show up for you unless you reciprocate manually. ---

AFAICT, **septimus** has ignored several posters who didn’t actually violate his rule. But if your intention, **septimus** , was to get lots of attention in this thread, then well done, for you appear to have succeeded. Perhaps you should make your very own thread for this side discussion, since this one is about pointing out shitty posts from HD? Just a recommendation. ---

Just to be clear: In a recent GD thread, someone listed HD as a “moderate.” I responded by posting a link to one of the Sealion’s posts and then was warned that just quoting HD and asking if his own words seemed “moderate” was _unacceptable_. _ **I am on notice that if I do so again I am likely to be BANNED.** _ Avoiding new mentions of the insipid HD is for _ **my self-protection** _: I’d prefer not to be BANNED.
