Do you not know how the reply system works? I was replying to BigT, and saying that even though we disagreed, neither of us were thinking the other was trolling. That’s the part that you quoted. It had nothing to do with you. The part that you didn’t quote, about how _you_ are a troll, is not related to that thread specifically, but your behavior in general. For instance your unprompted swipe at me in this thread had no productive use, and was only intended to try to piss me off. I hadn’t even participated in that thread for a day or so at the time that you chose to make your comment. Is this something that you are able to understand, or is this just beyond your mental capabilities? Oh, BTW, you’re a Nazi. 😆 ---

Ok then. Sorry to interrupt your little mutual jerk off party. ---

NP, but next time you want a reacharound, ask first, don’t just stick your dick out and expect everyone to stroke it. ---

> [@FigNorton](#): > > I didn’t start any kind of fight or argument with you. You jumped into me and k9 bashing each other, and I’m some kind of jerk for not accepting your out of the blue challenge? Get the fuck over yourself. If you got a beef, fine, but I am not required to respond to every ankle biter regardless of the length of their posts. You aren’t required to respond, no. But when someone tells you what you’re doing wrong, and you refuse to rebut that, anyone with half a brain realizes that means you can’t. You started a fight with **k9bfriender** out of nowhere. All I did was point out that most of the board seems to share their assessment of your actions. (They are, of course, free to say otherwise, if they disagree.) You are the one who said you don’t want to be seen as a troll. You said it would lead to people not taking you seriously. Yet, lately, you ignore any advice on how to change that perception. You clearly are not being taken seriously by this board. Why do you no longer want to change that? Remember, you’ve been suspended after a very short time of being here. For repeatedly making the same mistakes. It’s unlikely you won’t be banned if you don’t change your behavior. You can keep taking things personally, or you can try to change your reputation. It’s up to you. I know myself that it’s possible to change, as I used to be just as arrogant as you about this place, thinking I knew better. ---

Good Christ. If we all put CarnalK on ignore, it’ll be almost as good as if his latest sock actually _did_ get banned. (On the off chance that it’s not actually a sock, the noxious behaviors are so similar that I propose CarnalK’s warnings should apply to this new idiot and he should be banned under some sort of grotesque inherited-sin theory.) ---

Process: DrDeth gets pitted and called a fuckin jackass. Octopus gets wind of this and thinks “Hey now! Why is he getting that sweet, sweet attention? I’m just as big a fuckin jackass as him!” (Proceeds to take over the thread posting like a fuckin jackass) Octopus: “Mission accomplished! Everyone is talking about me!” ---

Do they have some kind of rotation system in place? At any rate, the attention seeking behaviour is, deep down, quite pathetic. ---

Ok, doing an riff off the above: > [@Octopus has a point](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/octopus-has-a-point/939062/171): > > DrDeth outs himself as an committed monarchist who cannot possibly see how there might be some relationship between being born into privilege and be admitted to an prestigious school. No, surely it must all have been according to his own merit. roll_eyes Oh, and octopus sucks. There, still on topic! ---
