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

Oh, and his current line of stupidity to advocate for evil is this:

Essentially, he’s giving all sorts of forms of “if Trump doesn’t literally say to the Ukranian president ‘I’m offering a quid pro quo arrangement’ then it’s obviously not quid pro quo!” - the idea that a preconditioning to talking to Ukraine about the aid is having them agree to investigate Biden is not a quid pro quo arrangement, because, hey, do you see the words quid pro quo there? Owned, libcucks.

You left out the far right’s freak-out when President Obama did what he was legally obligated to do: fork over the government of Iran’s own money to the government of Iran.

This.

He’s an unmitigated, vile asshole. And he’s proud of it.

He posts contradictory, idotic and asinine garbage. And he’s genuinely proud of it. He stands over his posts like a dog over it’s vomit, thinking what a fabulous piece of art he’s produced.

And you know what? There are many out there like this. Some are worse.

If the Board’s stated goal is to fight ignorance, is the mission to do so enhanced or detracted by the presence of liars, trolls, and other people who refuse to talk in good faith?

HurricaneDikta’s sole purpose on this board is to “own da libz”. No lie too big, no evasion too blatant, and absolutely no good faith allowed. Anything that riles up da libz is a good thing in his estimation.
So, yeah, a troll.
But, he’s part of the protected class - he has to blatantly break the rules to be sanctioned, and he’s (just) smart enough not to do that.

Exactly! There’s nothing he values more than angering liberals. Not opposing bigotry. Not opposing abuse of women and children. Nothing. He’s kind of unique among Doper conservatives in that, by my reading.

I think the mods have wised up a tad to his silliness, but they still miss most of his blatant trolling.

The bar for the mods on this board to decide something is trolling is at least as high as the GOP is for interpreting Trump’s actions in the correct way.

For Trump to be seen extorting Ukraine he would have to say “If you don’t make up lies about my opponents, I will never give you the aid you need. By the way, this isn’t a joke and I’m aware it’s a lie. He’s Mike Pence to confirm that we’re doing crimes.”

And HD would have to say “I’m trolling you all right now you stupid fucks. I can’t believe you let me get away with this for years. Ed Zotti can suck my cock.”

The important takeaway for me from this excellent post is, don’t get on SenorBeef’s bad side. Jeez, that was pretty epic.

He’s either an idiot or totally brainwashed. I think where he came from, the smart kids who made fun of him were liberals, so he’s exacting his revenge here. Nothing pleases him more than goading someone into attacking him and drawing a warning from the mods. I find that not engaging him is the best strategy.

Still are. :wink:

Worthless poster HD is warned by Bone:

https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21883462#post21883462

If my memory is right, that’s at least 4 warnings in the last year for HD. Reminds me of something that just happened…

Hey, what’s the rule for laughing at people who get a warning in the thread where they got a warning?

This day just keeps getting better!:smiley:

His posts may be worthless, but he makes it up in volume.

i really hope Ditka’s little baby grows up to be a lying gaslighting piece of shit, just like his daddy. And I hope he steals his parents blind and commits credit card fraud in their name, then denies it, then accuses his parents of child abuse when they try to discipline him. Maybe the kid will even get HD sent to prison. I know this is a pipe dream, but it would be delicious karma. Yum Yum.

Because this is the moral standard that this shithead is espousing, and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

I, um… yow.

I hope the child grows beyond the limitations of the parenting given them. Hell, I hope that about my kid!

That is my main beef with him. Yes he’s a troll and an idiot and all of those other words, but it seems like any thread that anyone starts, soon enough he shows up flinging poo all over and dominating the discussion. I start to read a thread, I see his tempest-in-a-teapot crap, and it’s not worth reading any more. It’s just so tiresome.

This. Most posters with four warnings or so in less than a year seem to end up eventually banned, either because they simply can’t control themselves, or because they decide they might as well go out in a blaze of suicide-by-mod glory.

I never use the Ignore function, but HD is one of a very few posters that I functionally (well, mostly) ignore.

Ehhhh, I can sorta understand your feelings here, but then society would still have to deal with another horrible person. I’d rather his spawn see his bullshit for what it is and either sever ties with him altogether, or actually being able to talk some sense into him.
