That whole message board ‘self-immolation’ thing, I’d have to imagine.
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.
Dear ColdBrew50:
That should be in the lead post and I am ashamed as OP that I did not do that.
Thanks @Darren_Garrison
Don’t you hate how that misogynistic pervert didn’t even draw clothes for that bald woman?
It’s pron, I tells ya! Pron…!
So was he just a troll, or was he also a sock?
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.
True. But the punishment should fit the crime. Inflicting ColdBrew upon them would be massively excessive.
Ay yi yi.
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.
ETA: @Joey_P two posts up.
Or it was a typo. Lotta folks dictate their posts and or let spellcheck fix things unnoticed.
Like the t-shirt says:
Instant asshole
Just add alcohol
Now that he’s about to be suspended or more, this thread is almost too little too late.
But I’m glad it’s here.
Obviously a troll, of course, but based on nothing but a hunch, I’d say high odds that it’s a sock, too.
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?
Yes.yep.
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:
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.
The exposure of CB50 as a troll started here:
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).
They will likely say," I was banned just because I dared criticize Munroe, they worship him apparently!"
The good news is that he won’t be saying it to us (since he’ll be banned).
Filthy mouth. Thought he was smart and funny. Ick.
