I pit you, YogSosoth. For your immature, inane and incessant stupidity in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=508266) thread; the likes of which I haven’t seen since arguing evolution in the bible belt. You’re a raving, flaming fucking douche bag, who couldn’t argue your way out of a paper fucking bag. Your weak arguments that last six plus pages arguing for something that you haven’t the faintest idea about. And then when your lazy, good for nothing, fat ass finally does decide to look up the wikipedia ( **BECAUSE IT’S OH SO FUCKING HARD** ) on the subject, you sorely and entirely misunderstand the concept, and don’t bother citing statistics or reasonable arguments. You’re a good for nothing piece of shit who would surrender other peoples personal freedoms, not because you even think it’ll be good for your safety, but because you’re too fucking lazy to look something up. Your blind faith in the federal government, the bunch of dumb fucking morons they are, is the reason that racist douchebags like KKK loving, civil rights filibustering Senators get re-elected and stay in office for 50 years, instead of being hung out to dry like the racist pieces of shit they are. It’s people like you, who would rather surrender freedom than be bothered to actually look at the issues, who run Republics and Democracies into Totalitarian Regimes, who’s bloodshed often exceeds that of any potential criminal activities a thousand fold. In conclusion; You’re an asshole, and a failure. Before you argue on a subject, at least go to fucking wikipedia, you lazy sack of shit. Really, YogSosoth, don’t take it personally, you’re just a lazy sack of shit, it’s not your fault. You might even be able to change, someday. ---

The poster (yog whatever) is a fucking tool who goes into an argument with a full head of steam, but no fucking clue about the topic, the details, or why someone might argue with them. He/she/it then goes on to call foul for non existent ad hominem attackes, proving again that they have no fucking clue what and ad hominem attack is either. Here’s a clue [dumbass](http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/ad-hominem.html): > [@](#): > > An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. It is not an irrelevant fact that you have no idea what you are talking about. It is not an irrelevant fact that when presented with airtight cites, you chose to post from your own fantasy land instead of reading and refuting the cites as many posters before you did. We had a surprisingly subdued debate until you brought your worthless sack into it. Perhaps it can be revived once you leave. ---

Okay, let’s take for instance: When it was pointed out that he didn’t, and in fact couldn’t define “assault weapons”, his answer was [ > [@](#): > > Get out of it that easily? Are you implying some kind of subterfuge on my part? As I said already, the old law had specific weapons defined to be banned and I’m sure that new lawmakers will update it as necessary. Did you read all thousand pages of the stimulus package before you decided to be for or against it? Then dont pretend that your comment was anything else than trying to get me stuck in some point by point nuance on bullet calibers, cartridge sizes, and rate of fire. I’m for an assault weapon ban based on the generally known definition of such weapons. I trust that lawmakers will specify the exact firearms in the bill ]([http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10896254&postcount=331](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10896254&postcount=331)) He continually trolled the debate with his willful ignorance. When people pointed out reasons why they might use certain guns, his response was dismissive and, as later admitted, deliberately dishonest (or as he calls it “sarcastic”) [ > [@](#): > > Hunters do not need assault weapons. First, hunting elephants and rhinos are illegal. Second, there are none in America. And the fact that some people may be collectors does not mean what they are collecting should be legal. What if I wanted to collect human remains? Is is ok if I start graverobbing? “But officer, I’m a collector!” > > I think its completely within the government’s right and power to decide what you do or do not need when it comes to affect other people. Every regulation on anything is the government telling you that you cant do something or how to do it and you’ll find it a small population who thinks they dont have that right ]([http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10896169&postcount=330](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10896169&postcount=330)) And after justifying the banning of varmint hunting weapons because they weren’t needed, being only good for hunting rhinos and such, his response when called on the carpet was: [ > [@](#): > > Post a sentence in which I made up any facts about guns. If you consider rhino hunting to be anything more than a sarcastic remark at a stupid inquiry then I suggest you brush up on your english ]([http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10900523&postcount=355](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10900523&postcount=355)) So, just to keep score, when claiming why people didn’t “need” weapons that are best suited to hunting varmints and/or white tail deer, his response was to say that in fact they were used only to hunt rhinos. When it was pointed out that he was making shit up and the “assault weapons” were no more suitable for bringing down large game than any other small hunting weapons, his response was to claim he was being sarcastic and that the question of why a perfectly necessary hunting weapon would be banned by him as an “assault weapon” was a “stupid inquiry”. That’s just a smattering. It’s clear that his intention, from the beginning, was to simply troll the fuck out of the thread and piss off as many people as possible while arguing from a position of deliberate, willful ignorance coupled with making as many inflammatory statements as he could. It’s a shame that coming into a debate that you’re purposefully ignorant of, for no purpose other than to piss people off, isn’t considered trolling. It should be. ---

Yup. Go back and read some of the howlers posted right here on the SDMB back in '99. Fighting ignorance, indeed. **Yog** was about the worst to come along in a good while, though.

If some of you firebrands would set your weapons down for a moment—right on the desk beside you, or perhaps in your laps, where they won’t be out of sight or reach— and concentrate a little harder instead of reflexively going into Yosemite Sam mode, you might realize when you’re being tweaked for lulz. ---
