I saw his idiotic and insulting reawakening post in the “craze for vinyl” thread, and thought, “nah , not worth commenting. he’s a jerk.” Then I go tom the Pit, and the first thread I see is this. So now I can comment. Fuck off, 'Brew. ---

Referring to mods as modes sounds like a sock to me. I can’t imagine someone with a year old account would pick up on that unless they’ve been around long enough to remember the Snark Pit or to have made their way over to GB. Those are the only two places I can remember that term used with any regularity. ---

Have they decided to go out in a blaze (of foolishness, not of glory)? Or are they genuinely that stupid? Or possibly that drunk. I’m not ruling that one out. But that would still put it into willfull stupidity, as I doubt this is the first time they’ve gotten drunk. ---

> [@xtenkfarpl](#): > > The only posts I’ve seen from ColdBrew50 are about guitar stuff, and they seemed to be reasonable and on topic in that area. Am I missing something? He got very troll-ish last night in the “What were you thinking?” Pit thread, and then made some even trollier posts in non-Pit threads after that. Maybe he’d been drinking, maybe he just decided to turn off his cloaking device. See @What_Exit 's post about it: > [@Trolls R Us Resurrections](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections/950518/11629): > > As for a while they were keeping their trolling to the Pit where it is to some degree allowed, they weren’t moving the needle much on suspension or even warnings. Once they got bored and trolled in two non-Pit threads, the warning and suspension came and the modloop discussion is on-going. I’m happy to say, I’ve been largely out of this one. Though I was trying to figure out today if they’re a sock (thus trock) or just a newish troll.

So, Cold brew meant “a cold brew=beer” not “cold brew coffee” Hmmm? ---

I would guess so. And maybe he did drink 50 of them. – though I suppose, come to think of it, that 50 coffees in too short a time might give a similar result, if from opposing causes. Including potentially fatal results, either way. ---

I would appreciate evidence that XKCD and/or Randall is misogynistic, illterate or a turd. Now if you read the thread from that point you’ll have to skim past some other irrelevant posts (since it’s an omnibus thread) but the problems are clear. Not only were they exposed as a troll but their own responses just reaffirmed it. And then after all that, they went full-on meltdown in other non-Pit threads (probably because now that people are onto them they might as well get in as much trolling as they can before a ban) and got suspended (which might end up being permanent, it should be). ---
