I’m not interested enough to follow the thread all the way back, but I assume that the “02 planets” he talks about in the most recent quotes are supposed to be “O2”, i.e. Oxygen. How stupid do you need to be to type zerotwo instead of ohtwo, not just once or twice, but many times? ---

> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > Yes, but is it “a O2” or “an O2”?   No, “an O2” is not grammatologically corpusculent. It is either “a O2” or “a O2” or “a 02” – those are correct, and are all exactly the same, and they all refer to planets that have enuf of a oxygen atmosphere that u can breth. He knows this because his father’s uncle’s co-worker had a friend who once saw a actual astronaut. This same father’s uncle’s co-worker’s friend also has proof that gun control is worthless, since the USA has less gun violence than Yemen, a outstanding advanced democracy directly comparable to the US, thus proving that everything is A-OK, and if anything, the US has _too many_ gun laws. Yemen, for instance, has none. ---

I don’t think it’s been mentioned in this thread, but I find DrDeth’s interest in urinals and restroom behavior to be a little, uh, “off.” A search of his posts containing the word “urinal” produces too many hits to count. I’m not going to cite any specific examples, because yuk. ---

I’m honestly not looking for **DrDeth** to be banned. I just wish that he would become more aware of some of his disruptive posting tendencies and his deliberately provocative abuse of the English language. As long as he persists, it’s hard to judge him to be anything but a troll. ---

It is **not** the new standard **for** **everyone**. It is **specific** to one poster. With any luck it will help him be a better poster. This is a legit possibility. Worst case is it will help prevent derailments of threads via thread bans and improve the readability of the Straight Dope. ---

I don’t want him to be banned either, just get his head out of his ass and stop ruining perfectly good threads. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > With any luck it will help him be a better poster. This is a legit possibility. Worst case is it will help prevent derailments of threads via thread bans and improve the readability of the Straight Dope… IMO, if he becomes a “better poster”, it will be luck because having read the current thread he’s banned from and the last thread that caused a problem, I’m not sure what standard you’re applying. As you say, if anyone else argued the same points, you wouldn’t be modding them, so how does he (or anyone being asked to use this standard) know what behavior they need to avoid? ---
