I object to JohnClay's very existence and everything he stands for

Of course he hasn’t. He doesn’t give a crap (pun intended, or not, whichever makes me look better) about anyone but himself–in his “real life” assuming it exists as written, or his board life. How many times has he posted in someone else’s thread, on a topic other than himself? He is among the most narcissistic posters we’ve had here, and believe me that’s a pretty tough record to beat.

Whether he’s a troll or not, he’s definitely a one-trick pony. What makes me believe him to be a troll is that his threads are increasingly pushing the boundaries of taste and outrageousness, and (IMHO) he’s doing that purposely in an obnoxious attempt trying to garner attention.

I don’t care what page(s) of the DSM-V match his psychological issues. One-trick ponies are almost always strongly moderated and eventually banned. It beggars belief that this hasn’t happened yet, especially after the thread that inspired the OP here. Before he composed that, I can almost hear his febrile little mind saying, Hmm, they won’t let me post TMI about sex, huh? Let’s see what else I can be TMI about so I can pull in the suckers!

Sadly, it works every time. Not just because the mods aren’t willing to corral this particular pony, but–if I may use another metaphor–because we are the attention-johns for this attention-whore. Without the customers, he’d have to find another streetcorner from which to peddle his noxious, creepy wares. But damn it, we just keep going back no matter what virtual cooties he infects us with.

Edited to add: And as an editorial aside, nope, that isn’t the “American” definition of nonplussed. You’re using the correct definition! Nonplussed means astonished, taken aback, surprised. It’s only people who are confused by the seeming negative prefix “non” who think it means not surprised. In fact, that usage is the one more common here in the U.S.

Well you seem to read threads that need moderation where someone might do some “junior moderation”. Also you’ve posted 9000 times and probably read more posts than I do.

I said “I usually only read my own threads or ones that don’t involve any “junior moderation”.”
So I have been reading other threads - they’re just ones that don’t involve “junior moderation” - e.g. most threads in General Questions.

No I’ve never lied on these message boards.

Yes in an earlier post I said I might be that one except that I don’t make things up and I’m not a “she”.

LOL @ “Attention Johns” - of course there would have to be some!

Well, I’m a reformed John as of now. Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff in it @ “one-trick” pony. That’s exactly what we’ve got here.

At least I don’t swear - unless I’m quoting someone else…

LOL! Not all trolls swear. They’re usually the target of the cursing and seem to thrive on it.

Well if I was “pushing the boundaries of taste and outrageousness” then I could have gotten further by swearing.

BTW lots of other people get away with swearing… I don’t really have a reason not to swear here (except for my own personal hang up)

So, you really are Satan?

There’s a difference between having a delusion or incorrect belief and lying.

Also I wrote:

This suggests I didn’t believe I was the one and only Satan.

Well, that all makes perfect sense then.

In a fit of generosity and good will, I gave this nitwit the benefit of the doubt in an earlier post. How I regret my decision now. :smack:

Shut the fuck up JohnClay. Shut the fuck up forever and find another bridge to troll you fucking psycho. For the love of god just SHUT THE FUCK UP.

… the fuck does swearing have to do with it?

In JC’s defense, in this thread he made this post, effectively winning the thread. That buys him a bit in my book (kindle edition).

Welp, looks like he has a kindred spirit now…

How convenient. JohnClay could even push it back in for him. :smiley:
