I said it once and I’ll say it again: **Shodan** is an outright troll, and is only saved from banning because he’s one of the board’s few Republicans who isn’t stupid or insane enough to make keeping them outright impossible.

As long as he can keep the thin veneer of reasonableness over his actions, he’ll stay, no matter how obnoxious he is or how hateful his bigotry.

Why, he went to every law school in the U.S. Twice. He holds law degrees from 700 law schools throughout the globe. He amassed so much wealth from his legal career and his talent for frugality in eating from dumpsters he was able to retire to a life of luxury in the Philippines, where he shares a tar paper shack with his wife’s extended family of 36, along with numerous dogs, goats and chickens.

He also transcribed the entire ALR 3rd American Law Report Cases and Annotations set of 100 volumes in Braille. You know, just because he could.

OP is about coincidences. Food is left out overnight. OP decides to eat it anyway, since it was a cold night, but accidentaly knocks it on the floor and decides it was a sign from the universe. Asks about other fun coincidences that seem sign-like.

[jerkface88](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=854286) comes in with the first reply only to say people who worry about food safety are dumb.

Jtur88 is sooper sad that he can’t catcall women in this day and age.

Would that be a catcall? I grew up in the Dark Ages, when women appreciated well-meant compliments, but I’m having a hard time keeping up with the shifting boundaries. And the presumptions of misogyny until proved innocent.

How dare these modern women not understand that he, a MAN, is just trying to give them a compliment! And then he doubles down with this lovely comment:

Hopefully people start reporting his posts more often in threads like that. Then he’ll either stop shitting in threads or be suspended.

Flag those posts, let the mods know. They’re not ignoring his shit, they just need to have it brought to their attention.
