I forget, do we have a general HurricaneDitka Pit thread?

Mod note from Bone: https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21408396#post21408396

Ooops. I’m late to the latest party. I posted my own comments on its latest blatent lie here.
Color me puzzled. If it had a 95+ IQ it would know it was going to get caught, right? Did it just get confused and think the paragraph about a deficit increase was really about deficit decrease?

Does anyone know what state it lives in?

Denial.

I think that I recall him talking about voting for Mia Love of Utah in the last election. So that’s my guess.

In response to this:

liar HD’s response is:

So basically, he accepts that Trump spread racist evidence-free conspiracy theories for years, and his response is (or would be if I engaged him, which I won’t) ‘but Democrats do it too!’. Which they don’t, quite obviously.

Running Coach shuts him down when asked for a cite. The following should be classified as grievous assault with a cite:

The GOP platform cite included:
"That is why we support building a wall along
our southern border and protecting all ports of
entry. The border wall must cover the entirety
of the southern border and must be sufficient to
stop both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. "

Violence on these boards is unacceptable and I hope Running Coach at least got mod-noted for such a brutal slapdown. :wink:

Shelter won’t let him have kittens any more.

Butthurt liar goes running to the mods after people are mean to butthurt liar.

On the one hand, the Report Post button is there for a reason, and I don’t really mind its being used when anyone, for any reason, feels the rules have been violated.

On the other hand, if jerks can leverage the system to continue being jerks perhaps it’s the system that’s at issue.

(On the gripping hand, Bone might feel, as some other do, that HD is a ginormous target and is being unfairly targeted. I’m willing to entertain that notion; when I don’t like someone I’m inclined to see everything that person says or does in a worse light. That’s a pretty common human failing.)

Let’s consider why he’s an enormous target. Because he won’t stop lying and being a disingenuous prick, that’s why.

Oh, not denying. But it means I see him as a disingenuous lying prick even when he posts something that not disingenuous, lying, or prickish.

Hmmm. I hadn’t considered that might happen.

And the lying piece of shit gets a warning for insults:

If only he wasn’t too scared to come here, to the Pit. He could insult away. I remember finding him here once, and I had just enough time to call him an asshole before he hurried off.

This is why I took a 6 month break. When obvious lying trolls are allowed to continue their lying troll ways, and people who call them on it are the ones being warned…

It’s time to move on.

Cite for a time he wasn’t being any of the above.

Serious ask.

Yeah, i got nothing. I’m assuming it’s happened? 'Cos I’m Pollyanna?

In my thread:

https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=863156

Some of his early responses seemed on the level to me. For example:

https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21240507&postcount=25

There’s more stuff that’s not too bad, and then the thread went off the rails. However, I’ve tried to engage with him since then and I’ve been really let down. His thread about Democrats/mobs-Republican/jobs was basically the last straw for me and I won’t engage with him anymore.
