'Felching goat fucking Insert Your Favorite Insult Here had more of a ring to it!
And it proved this whole insulting thingy is not for amateurs!
I’ve seen people been insulted far, far worse than he ever has, and they never gave a shit. But somehow, the Pit is the WORST THING EVER to him.
And once he gets something in his head, he’s like a rabid dog. He just won’t let it go. Like the whole “Game of Thrones” bullshit, or the “whooshing”, or whatever. How many topic bans does he have now?
Cool! DD has managed to work in two major pieces of linguistic dumbassery in just eight words! That may well be a higher rate of dumbassery per word than the average illiterate.
Oddly enough, it’s not the Pit thing that lead to his latest suspension. It’s some bugbear (whoops, that might be triggering for any D’nD posters) about “developing nations”…
One has to wonder how many suspensions he’s going to get.
As many as an poster can get!
Another conservative light extinguished by the hive mind. SMDH
DD does have a hard time letting go. I’ve missed the recent “developing countries” kick, but the previous harassment of another poster on PM was definitely doubleplusungood behavior.
Sometimes you need to know when to walk away for your own good. And some people just can’t.
Does this mean he’ll never be allowed to give up his hypocratic oath?
Huh. Just this afternoon, he sent me an unqualified apology for being curt and dismissive in the thread that inspired this pit thread.
Hang onto that, SDMB memorabilia is sure to increase in value over time.
I recently unignored him because he seemed to be doing better. I’ve even interacted with him in threads and it wasn’t a (complete) debacle. (He did get the thread closed because he was yet again making a horse into hamburger.) But I guess he can’t help himself.
Channeling my inner DrDeth… You can’t turn an horse into hamburger, you can only turn it into horseburger. I cite my third cousin’s uncle’s grandfather who died in the Crimean War, so any attack on this is a attack on his military honor!
Mmmm…horseburger…
Was he French?
TBH, at this point I kind of feel sorry for him. I don’t think he’s a troll, or evil, I just think he has some sort of cognitive dysfunction. I’m not trying to be snarky this time; it’s just that it seems something about his ability to interact in normal discussions is broken. I thought it was a good sign when it looked like he was trying to reform, but alas, apparently it was not to be. I still hope he isn’t banned, but the sanctions the mods have taken and the further ones being contemplated can only be described as “regrettably necessary”.
That’s pretty close to how I feel. He can be frustrating as hell, especially when he gets into a mood where he’s not paying attention to how he’s acting, but I don’t wish any ill on him or feel like heaping scorn on his head. A cognitive dysfunction sounds pretty plausible.
Something telling was his seeming inability to distinguish between stating someone is wrong and accusing them of lying. If that’s a real issue for him, it would make life much more difficult to navigate, no only this board.
I will gladly pay you Toosday for an horseburger today!
Agree. He’s an irritating presence, but at the same time it has to be so difficult and frustrating just to be him, and struggle to engage with a world that refuses to work the way you want it to.
