There is not much that is more dangerous that conscientious stupidity or, as I Like to call it, “deliberate ignorance”. ---

Well, he _was_ just given a warning and banned from the “ICE shooting” thread in P & E. ---

Given yet another warning for the same shit are the mods getting closer to the ‘they’re more trouble than they’re worth’ banning? IOW is he on thin ICE? 😝 ---

I’m not motivated in any way to Pit him but wondering … I recall him always being frustrating to interact with but the few times my path intersects with him lately he seems … _more_ … impaired … than he had been in years past. Does anyone else get that sense? If dealing with a person in real life I would be politely and sincerely expressing concern to their loved ones about getting evaluated for some form of dementia. Not trying to insult him here, and this isn’t a real world interaction, but the nature of his posts are hard to parse otherwise. Maybe my sense of his past posting being _less_ bad is unfounded? ---

If dealing with a person in real life I would be politely and sincerely expressing concern to their loved ones about getting evaluated for some form of dementia. I didn’t notice it for Magiver, but for another poster I won’t name, in the last months. But I would never confront them with that, ahem, hunch. ---

I and a few posters had a brief interaction with him in the Iran thread where he had 3 nearly consecutive posts that were as if he lost all context to the argument between each one. Sadly, I’m 90% sure this is how he’s always been. ---

If it soothes you, no, I didn’t, and I hope you will see better times soon. Too much stress is a bitch, as I can tell from experience. ---

I was partially joking, but not entirely. I had an angry interaction here not too long ago which was my personal life spilling over. I’m working on getting my stressors reduced (some out of my hands) and also not posting when I’ve had a particularly tough day. Thanks. ---

Everybody has a a bad day or even a streak of bad days from time time. A poster with an avatar of 1966 Dylan on his Triumph can’ be that bad 😉. ---

Now he’s raving in the main Iran war thread advocating attacking Iran and taking away their nuclear material and, get this, that it’s a religious war.
