I pit Shodan the crybaby

Mook?

No. Keep hunting.

I can’t think of it either. I guess I’ll have to take a bunt on this one.

bingo!!!

Man, am I glad the subtext is now text. I heartily endorse this pitting. Shodan should be embarrassed.

Speak harshly to your fellow Dopers
And beat them for their catchphrases
They only do it to annoy
Because they know it teases

Shodan is an example of a double standard around here: Republicans can get away with being jackasses, because the mods know that if they banned all the jackass Republicans, there wouldn’t be any left. They’re the world’s most annoying endangered species.

As long as the Republicans can act all shocked and wounded when called on their jackassery, the mods leave them be. And then the GOPpers have the temerity to get all high and mighty when any other group uses weakness to its advantage.

Of course, in the real world, Good Christian Republicans are the only persecuted majority group, so I guess we can’t expect any honesty or logic, just an endless bleating whine on the tunes of “I’m not touching you!” and “MOMMY HE WAS MEAN TO ME!”

OK, now the ‘tattletales and crybabies’ part of the OP makes sense.

I endorse this Pitting.

Subtlety is lost on the masses. :wink:

I should know, I’m one of them. :stuck_out_tongue: I can’t remember why I felt I couldn’t spell it out and, frankly, too much eating and drinking has gone on since yesterday morning so we many never know.

:slight_smile:

He has said explicitly that he sometimes uses “Regards” to mean “Fuck You.” (He likes to lie and claim that he never said this, but if he tries to here I’ll be happy to link to it again.)

The only time Shodan annoys me is when he points out where I’m wrong …

Right. This coming from a poster who accuses others of being “potty mouths” in this forum.

Go away, you annoying cockroach.

Yah. There was a notorious troll on the Usenet baseball boards years ago, who, after flaming any and all “statheads” in thread after thread, would always ends his rants and raves with “Cordially, as always”…

lSWYDT. :smiley:

And this is a straight violation of the rule. Don’t say “fuck you” to other posters.

Realto Margarino, Roger Maynard, Ronald Matthews, Rhonda Moffat, or a number of other pseudonyms which abbreviate to RM.

He was active on comp.lang.c of all places. Yes, a Usenet newsgroup dedicated to the C programming language. Great place to learn the language, home to a few insane trolls.

He was also on alt.os.linux.slackware, about the Slackware Linux distribution. Just a completely random bunch of groups.

This rule is particularly important, because it also saves X from potentially being uncomfortable if he ever happens to read here. It’s kind of a two-fer.

Be careful

I ended my posts to Shodan with …

Regards,
My Ass

I’m now prohibited from ending my posts to him that way.

He uses “Regards” at the end of every post, though, regardless of the context, so of course sometimes it means “fuck you”. Can you say you’ve never thought that when responding to somebody’s post?
