Stand-in for **HurricaneDitka’s **sense of humor is a tough, thankless and poorly compensated job.
It occurred to me that it might be interesting to track HD’s non trolling posts, since I suspect they’re so rare. So if you happen to notice, feel free to share any posts of his that aren’t his standard whataboutisms, supposed liberal hypocrisy, liberals are dumb and/or evil, or about how much he (not so secretly) longs to kill liberals.
This seems to qualify, at least for the time being.
I wish I hadn’t clicked on that. (Crime story)
Fuck. This. Guy.
And thus we see just how the dehumanizing of the people in the concentration camps begins.
Unclear. The ACLU was supposed to send me an email confirmation. He says he paid, but I never got a confirmation. The possibility that the ACLU messed that up can’t be completely discounted, but then neither can the possibility that HD is a liar.
I think we already know he’s a liar – he’s shown that time and time again.
I can’t look at those threads without raising my blood pressure 100 points.
The powers that be have made it known that they will be watching after a string of particularly obvious bad-faith arguments from HD:

:Googles ‘Sealioning’:
:nods:
Jaysus, better late than never I guess.
Googles as well.
Ditka got around too late, they coulda named that shit after that fucknut.
Bone’s moderation continues to impress. I may disagree with him on most matters of ideology, but my estimation of him as a mod has just gone up another notch. Ditka now has to improve the intellectual caliber of his trolling skills by an order of magnitude, and I seriously doubt the dumbass simpleton can do it.
The origin of the sea lion meme – it is totally and exactly Ditka:
Now, if only other sealions were similarly moderated.
Do we have other sea lions? I thought Ditka was a unique thing unto himself like no other. Sure, we have many other trolls, and we certainly have a plethora of assholes and wingnuts, but the perfect suitability of that designation is that Ditka is honestly the only metaphorical sea lion I can think of. And hey, Ditka, that’s not a compliment, any more than a designation of a bacterium as an MRSA superbug is a compliment to the germ.
Clearly, we have had a positive effect on his personal evolution, and may reasonably hope for future steps leading away from the path of political error.
Wasn’t there some other right-wing torture-supporting scumbag who used to hang around here, then didn’t? A lawyer or something?
Even if it’s long overdue? Still, encouragement must be shown. The moderator community must set limits on their Affirmative Action standards, and this is evidence that they are finally doing so.
TIL what sealioning is - something beyond the SDMB tradition of asking “Cite?”.
