Ah, lucky you! I wish I’d never heard of him. ---

Cat Whisperer, how you’ve managed to never have heard of \*\*Terr \*\*before, I cannot explain. But I am infinitely jealous of you. This pitting of Terr is extremely weak, but he 100% deserves it. And the comment about him being demonstrably wrong and stupid in every post he makes is spot on. ---

Everybody in this thread is insolent - hell, it’s the pit! Or has \*insolent \*come to imply \*stupid \*even though it doesn’t? ---

Hilarious. Just a few minutes after making a fool of itself in BBQ Pit, **deltasigma** makes a post in GQ (“Statistics/Mathematics question about periodic events”) so stupid as to prove it has profoundly little mathematical intuition or understanding of statistics. Its previous posts must just be buzzwords strung together plausibly. ---

Its previous posts must just be buzzwords strung together plausibly. Yeah like anyone even takes you seriously. I’ve only known you from a few threads for less than a year. I can only imagine the mentally corrosive affect you’ve had on the old timers. It probably helps to explain the fact that no bothers even responding to you. ---

**deltasigma** ’s excuse for posting nonsense is that he didn’t have the slightest clue about the topic: > [@Statistics/Mathematics question about periodic events](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/statistics-mathematics-question-about-periodic-events/666278/5): > > That’s why I said ‘something like’ rather than saying that is precisely what you want. I DO know when I’m out of my depth unlike some people. :smack: – Even **clothahump** doesn’t post in GQ when he _knows_ he doesn’t know the answer. Mods, perhaps you should show mercy and deviate from board policy to let **deltasigma** change its user name and pretend to be a brand-new Doper. As is, he’ll just be considered a pathetic blathering laughingstock for the rest of his days here. ---

How is that even possible. I can’t imagine anyone having such a distorted image of themselves. I guess the alternative is too unbearable to even consider though, although in your case, whatever the risks, I think that’s how I would go. ---

I am reminded of an episode of _The Shield_ (and probably other places too) where Michael Chiklis’ ‘Vic Mackey’ tosses two gang leaders into a shipping container overnight to hash out their differences. He accomplishes his goal, but probably not in the way he wanted. I propose the same be done to **deltasigma** and **septimus**. Consider it a version of _get a room_, just that the room is very dark and uncomfortable. ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > Where do adahar, NotFooledbyW, OMG a Black Conservative and magellan01 figure into your accounting? **adaher** : actually a smart person, but has zero regard for facts or truth. He’s basically the character that Stephen Colbert plays on his shows: he’s not a liar, but he is basically never right, either. **NFbW** : I’m actually terrified by him. I think he’s psychotic. I think we may find out in a few years that he’s been killing his neighbors and storing their bodies in plastic bags because they don’t know what UNSC 1441 is. **OMG** : It is actually to the benefit of the board that we have Alan Keyes posting here. **magellan01** : First of all, he be gellin’. Secondly, he’s on the short list. The short _bus_ list: definitely a more special flower than **Terr** , but not quite as incapable of cognition as **ralph**. ---
