Certain people in this thread are bang out of order. Do moderaters ever come here?

No threats of physical harm yet. It’s the Pit. I can call Ivan a sociopathic waste of protein if I want to and he can call me a homicidal maniac that wants to stomp kittens to death, and it’s pretty much within the rules here.

That’s because Ivan hasn’t broken into your place and blamed you for it, yet.

Erm…granted I’m pretty new here but…isn’t accusing people of being sock puppets kinda frowned upon?

I guess I just keep falling for your traps. My failing to resist your trollbaiting doesn’t really compare to your failure to assign blame to prison kittens.

Seems like there’s some pretty clear cut trolling going on in here.

Really? Because I have **Scumpup** ahead. He’s a hotheaded asshole who likes to bring his very own argument along with him to threads but **Ivan** loves to troll himself into the center of attention.

**Ivan** carefully lays it out in spurts but if you take time to read the threads **Scumpup** cited you can see classic condescending style **Ivan** trolling at his worst.

And as for the op, **Ivan** isn’t outraged - he’s jealous. Jealous that the prankster gets to upset and piss off people and he didn’t.

He doesn’t feel any remorse. The only reason he stopped breaking into homes and turned his criminal attention to commercial properties was that he burglarized the home of a gangster more dangerous than himself, and he was afraid of this gangster.

Realizing that he could be severely injured or killed in his pursuits of other people’s things, he decided homes were too risky.

He still thinks that it was the fault of the home owners for failing to properly keep him away from what he couldn’t possibly be expected to resist stealing.

Now he has the gall to call out someone else whose minor criminal behavior pales in comparison to that of a career burglar. And I thought I’d seen it all.

Youtube has a lot more celebrity status than SDMB. Wider audience, shall we say. I can see why **ivan** would be jealous.

I honestly thought that I would come into this thread and merely point out that if he hates internet assholes, he must despise himself. I didn’t expect the double whammy of him being all irate over someone’s _criminal_ behavior when he’s so unapologetic about his own.

Those of you who think that I’m following **ivan** around aren’t even in the same galaxy. I never noticed what a fucknugget he is prior to the two GD gun threads, and I’m sure he’ll fade back into obscurity soon enough when people get tired of hugging the little prison kitty.

I’ve butted heads with **Scumpup** before but it was in a thread that I don’t even consider serious. I don’t think he’s an asshole though, I have no reason to. He may be hotheaded but a lot of us are.

In the threads cited though \*\*Scumpup \*\*is not wrong IMO.

Considering what whiny little dick the guy is, I’m guessing he was more of a prison _doggy_, if you know what I mean. _hint hint_

What I’ve seen of our boy **ivan** leads me to believe that he was the Stimpy to a bigger con’s Ren.
