This one rhymes a bit, and I still hold out hope that I can get this made into a rap battle. I do have a wee bit of criticism though. You used “flame” or variations just slightly too much. Not way too much mind you. You were at an 8. I need you to dial it back to a 6/6.5.

You quote theory and you hide behind it even when numerous examples are posted that show these theories are being turned on their heads by reality.

Please rise. We have gathered here today in the name of the Dope, the Cecil, and the Obvious Troll. Lettuce pray. * * * If I’m teaching kids English in a foreign country, does that count as off-shoring? I mean… I could be teaching American kids English instead. ---

WTF is this, people? I’ve been here for twelve years and the first time I’m mentioned in a Pit OP it’s by a lame, uncreative and wholly forgettable troll? And such an obvious one at that? We’ve had some interesting one-hit-wonders on the boards who’ve made something of a mark, but this loser won’t be remembered a minute after his banning notice falls off the ATM B front page (if it warrants such a notice). Great. My cherry pit was taken by a nonentity; none of you stepped up to make it worthy, and you had\* twelve fucking years\*! And speaking of stepping up, _no one_, after 80+ posts thought to PM me to let me know that I’ve been thoroughly eviscerated in the Pit and have not defended my gardening practices?! Oh, wait, it’s an LJ OP—there’s never anything in those but fetid doggerel, so there was nothing to tell me about. Gotcha, (ya), but still, I could have had some fun. So now that I’m properly pissed (Springbank 10 will do that), you can all forget about the lettuce. No, now we’re talking cabbage, broccoli and lima beans. Yeah, that’s right; hold your breath, if you can. :eek: ---

Le Jacquelope’s basic point is, when you boil it down, “I hate Chinks.” (Paraphrase, not a direct quote.) At least it’s a clear opinion. ---

> [@Le\_Jacquelope](#): > > The mistake I made on the SDMB boils down to exactly one thing: assuming that intelligent discussion ever happened here. This sentence proves that you admit you are just here to troll. If you were that unhappy with this place you would leave and go somewhere else but yet you stay and keep making fucking retarded threads in the pit just so you can cuss at people. You are obviously a sock of another poster who has been banned before or not and just a fucking asshole poster but an obvious sock just here to cuss at people. It’s also pretty obvious you are sitting at home laughing your ass off at how awesome you are for trolling and pissing people off here which is why noone takes anything you say seriously. Seriously mods he just admitted he’s only here to troll. ---

And you wonder why the mods have not responded to your idiot troll accusations? You do have one point, though - you guys have completely jumped the shark and your arguments are old, tired, ineffective, and you’re a downright disappointment when it comes to looking for a challenge here. You’re no challenge. You’re a joke. Not just to me but all the other 6 billion human beings on Planet Earth. And probably those on other worlds, too. ---

He hates America’s working class. But mostly he hates the black people here who are suffering the worst from offshoring and the unemployment it has brought. That is all. (Now let’s see if people treat accusations of hating Chinese people worse than accusations of hating Americans.) ---

Good grief…another one of these things? [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=13902170#post13902170) is the link to what set him off, RNATB. RickJay is wrong though. Le Jac doesn’t hat ‘chinks’…he hates all low wage countries who steal American jobs, which he thinks good old American workers are entitled too. He’s sort of an equal opportunity hater in that regard. He likes Canada (though not RickJay) and Europe and Japan (for some odd reason). ETA: The OP still hasn’t bothered to actually read any of the various forum rules, which continue to baffle him. He is pretty stupid, after all. -XT ---

Of course he hates America. He’s Canadian! The US is the only nation in the past 200 years to have invaded Canadian territory. Don’t let their pleasant demeanor fool you: They’re all out to topple the US. Personally, I think it’s because of the bacon thing, more than the invasions. ---
