You could be the most obvious, ignorant, one-note troll on the web and there will still be somebody on here who will miss the fucking obvious and try to debate you. > > There was a thread in one of the pussy hugging forums recently, something to do with a guy pretending be asexual but having to fight off amorous advances from a girl in his dorm. It was one of thee most blatant, obvious, clear as day trolls I have ever seen and still the kitty cuddlers were all over it, to the point that they were tut-tutting anybody who dared to be anything but sympathetic to the guy who was pretending that he was only sexually attracted to mailboxes. Not to be harsh to anyone, but this. As soon as I can tell someone is routinely posting for no other reason than to rile people up and piss them off, that shit gets ignored. I’ve never understand why it’s considered such a virtue to not utilize the ignore list for blatant trolls. All they do is disrupt everything, so why even be tempted to respond and propagate their bullshit or get them off? Nope. ---

1. Confused this is such an old thread. 2. Not clear why it’s a zombie given they haven’t become more charming. 3. It appears they were much more clearly a racist in the past. 4. Why exactly are they still around? ---

Can we add in this little turd and subsequent posts derailing the Elon Musk thread to the pile? The upshot being that treating your employees like shit is good business practice, and that employees so treated should bend over saying thank you sir may I have another. Failure to do so will cause future employers to rightly reject them as having ideas above their station. ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > The upshot being that treating your employees like shit is good business practice, and that employees so treated should bend over saying thank you sir may I have another. They should just be grateful to their master for having jobs at all. If it weren’t for Musk, they’d still be surrounded by free loading loafers. Now they have the opportunity to really distinguish themselves between trips to the toilet. Until, of course, those get taken away too. ---
