For being a dumbass, for never providing cites, for ignoring cites that contradict hir narrative, for not doing simple research… Basically, Tollhouse is just another conspiracy nut , who is “only asking questions.” Unfortunately, when those questions aren’t answered in the way that Tollhouse wants, Tollhouse simply ignores them. So, we end up with [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=688784), in which Tollhouse admits that they do not know a lot about computers, but Adam Lanza should not have been able to destroy a hard drive because he is a “skinny ass”. [Lanza must have been a ninja.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16219148&postcount=64) Basically, Tollhouse doesn’t have a single cite to back up his shit, ignores cites that don’t back up his shit (whatever his shit is). Tollhouse is really nothing more than a conspiracy theory troll. ---

He’s a troll. Or so powerfully stupid that there’s no daylight between his behavior and trolling. Poke him with a stick if it amuses you, but there’s no real point to trying to discuss anything with someone who’s actually or functionally a troll. ---

I have noticed a lot of “I’m posting from my phone, I’ll provide cites later.” It gets kinda annoying after a while. ---

I thought **Tollhouse** was a nice guy. But one thing I have noticed is that he really needs to brush up on his writing skills.

> [@Ethilrist](#): > > I have noticed a lot of “I’m posting from my phone, I’ll provide cites later.” It gets kinda annoying after a while. I have long wondered if Tollhouse even owns a computer. The consistently bad spelling, grammar and punctuation has been a characteristic of his/her posting from the get go (along with the poorly formed arguments and utter lack of critical thinking skills). ---

> [@Anonymous User](#): > > Consistent_ **ly** _\*\*???\*\* 😉 “Consistently” is correct, but it should be “have been characteristic” instead of “has been a characteristic,” I guess. Anyway **Tollhouse** would make **Gaudere** weep. If it were possible to post in crayon, **Tollhouse** would be posting in crayon. ---
