Maybe it’s a little unfair, but it’s kinda funny, since he would rail against the “Illiterati” who watched Game of Thrones without reading A Song of Ice and Fire. Eventually he got topic banned. ---

Apparently being on the board for 20 years is not long enough for him to know how the board works. If his dad hadn’t been so busy flying Doug around, maybe he could have explained it to him.

It’s up to the moderators to decide what to do with the post report, so there is nothing wrong with someone reporting a post. Users are also not required to disclose whether or not they decided to report a post. Sure, but as the Staff has said over and over, you cant do anything unless the post is reported.

Well, come on now, let’s not get carried away. 🙂 Another of his things is his insistence that Blac Bloc Anarchists are some overwhelming force in the US. Apparently anyone that damages anything in a riot is a card carrying member. Also, the way he always calls himself a “fed - but not law enforcement.” When people say fed they specifically mean federal law enforcement. Nobody says fed when talking about the guy down at the social security office. ---

> [@mordecaiB](#): > > Nobody says fed when talking about the guy down at the social security office. Haha, I have two friends that work for Social Security. They aren’t “feds”. I myself work for a state agency, I could theoretically call myself a “government agent” if I wanted to sound cool but give me a break, I fix computers for a living. That’s the kind of shit a jackass throws around trying to pick up women at a bar. ---

When I was a teenager, I volunteered with special needs kids at a gymnastics studio, helping run some classes. One day, I overheard two of the moms of the kids speaking; one was telling the other that her husband worked for “the Federal government” in the sort of tone that implies “I could tell you more, but then I’d have to kill you”. Then she went to use the restroom, and while she was gone, one of the other moms elaborated: “yeah, her husband is a mailman” ---

Jumps into a thread where everyone is having a good, congenial, in depth and interesting conversation, declares that everyone else is wrong and he alone is right, based on the argument of “of course”. Doesn’t even understand that we are more or less in agreement on the point, just wants to shove in everyone else’s face just how much more right he is than everyone else. I guess his father probably once didn’t see a UFO, so that gives him the insight and experience to simply know better than anyone else. > [@Is 'Zoo Hypothesis' Mainstream?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-zoo-hypothesis-mainstream/940475/111): > > I take it that you just jumped into the middle of the thread, and didn’t bother to see the context or the discussion that had been made before you came in and started telling us that we were wrong.
