I want to declare war on LeJaq’s pants!
What? It makes as much sense as the OP!
I’m usually not one to call for a banning, but Le Trollelope is overdue. It’s pretty clear that his only purpose in posting is to hurl insults.
Interestingly enough, I reported his topic here yesterday and, in it, called him Le Trollelope.
The mistake I made on the SDMB boils down to exactly one thing: assuming that intelligent discussion ever happened here. The moment people started arguing the bullshit that tariffs make things more expensive while ignoring the fact that offshoring exacts HUGE costs upon society (unemployment, reduced tax revenues, swollen deficit spending to preserve the social safety net or drastic program cuts which drive millions into poverty), that was time to write this place off as a training ground for preschool admittance.
No offense but your mistake was not in your argument. It was your response to the rebuttal of others. Just because it makes eminent sense to you doesn’t mean that people are going to drop 80 years of economic orthodoxy just because you posted something.
It also doesn’t help taht your response to some of the more inane rebuttals is “OMFG, are you a fucking MORON or something, why are you defending a policy that is fucking us up the ass with a shovel, just because some economic theorist somewhere said it was a good idea?” That and the fact that you seem to bring this issue up in any thread you post in.
I think even Le JacAsselope is getting antsy as to why he hasn’t been banned yet. This thread was his attempt to force the Mods to ban him already! It’s not going to work though…the Mods are too crafty. The horned one is not going to be banned, since that’s what he obviously wants.
Besides, Le Ass is one of the most unintentionally funny and ironic posters on this board. Earlier when he ragged on a poster about putting him on ignore I nearly lost it in my office. Considering that several people in this thread are on HIS ignore list you have to love the irony factor there.

Forget lobbying the Government to waste billions of dollars on new aircraft carriers, or signing up as a merc to go against the nasty foreigners.
Why bother when I can send Rhythmdvl and a few other members of the Straight Dope Message Board to “empower” them? They’ll be extinct in a generation, and I can move right in and establish me some vacation property.
As long as they don’t identify themselves as Americans the U.N. shouldn’t be able to figure out what nation was responsible.
BTW Rhythmdvl do really believe you could win a debate with a head of lettuce, much less empower someone else to do anything else besides become religious just to think God they’re not you?
Feh.
Mmmmmm… I thought you said YOU would like to declare war. But yet you want to send somebody else to do the dirty work. Ummm, I’m thinkin’ you’re nothin’ but a BIG ASS PUSSY!
Grow a pair, FUCKTARD.
Do you mean to say that you are in charge of lettuce or that your head is actually made of lettuce?
Win.
Now, to correct your misinformation… That may be what it seems to you, but if you’re a male, most of us have wee-wees a might bit larger than that. But that could explain your behavior…
It’s kind of an obsession of his - penises, testicles, virility and general masculinity make frequent appearances in his posts. The guy’s got issues and they seem to originate in his BVDs.

Jeez, I thought calling someone a pussy was against the rules here. Shows just how fickle the so-called moderators are.
Hell, a douchebag like you wouldn’t even know what a pair looked like.

My response was civil until you fucktards started flaming.
Now you want me banned because you keep getting flamed every time you try to flame me. And you’re mad that the mods, as fickle as they are, aren’t THAT fickle that they’ll judge MY flames as more un-called for on the Pit than yours.
If you can’t handle the heat, put me on ignore.
Oh and that crap that SDMBers post is not what any rational person would call a rebuttal. Then again …0
Just because it makes eminent sense to you doesn’t mean that people are going to drop 80 years of economic orthodoxy just because you posted something.
But this is the problem with this forum.
You guys quote theory without understanding it. 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. Then you guys do what every religious zealot ever does: you deny until your faces turn blue.
It also doesn’t help taht your response to some of the more inane rebuttals is “OMFG, are you a fucking MORON or something, why are you defending a policy that is fucking us up the ass with a shovel, just because some economic theorist somewhere said it was a good idea?”
Most of the country now realizes that offshoring is fucking America’s working class up the ass with a Chinese made chainsaw.
You think your pile-ons intimidate me. What scares the lot of you is not me. You are brave as long as you have your numbers. What scares you is that the rest of the country despises your point of view. Very few Americans follow your ideas anymore. Most people want tariffs. But again you guys have been shown the proof and you have chosen to hide behind your denials.
I have a whole country that agrees with me. What, besides this hole in the mud forum, do you have? Hmmm? A handful of economists that few people take seriously anymore? Is that what you’re hiding behind? Because I’ve got behind me a whole host of dissident economists who are calling bullshit on offshoring - including former Reagan staffer Paul Craig Roberts and former pro-offshoring guy Paul Krugman, who by one objective study is the most accurate prediction guy of all the columnists out there.
This is why you guys flame me. Betcha none of you would even be posting here anymore if a crowd of anti-offshoring folks showed up to stand up to your bullshit. The way you babies whine and cry and bellyache about my verbal abuse, in light of all the abuse you’ve tried to dish out… you’d just wilt if the numbers were evened out.
Bolding Mine

I’m sure you see yourself as being larger than that, but hey, if delusions like that keep you from realizing how inadequate you are and taking a 6 story swan dive to crack the pavement with your hard skull, then more power to you.
but if you’re a male, most of us have wee-wees a might bit larger than that.
But not you, or the rest of doped out dopers who seem to like to talk shit but can’t take it when I talk it right back. Yours ain’t larger than a pubic hair. Neither is your brain.
Render your salad unto Caesar!!!
He may as well have said he was Santa Claus.
No adult writes like him.
You claim to know what an adult writes like? And you claim that with a straight face?

It isn’t.

Yeah - just wait until his big brother gets here! Then you’ll all be sorry!

I prefer to render my salad unto Greek. But to each their own.
nom nom nom
My personal favorite part is how he just knows that the only reason anyone would ever say anything bad about him is a disagreement on offshoring.

Greek? Greek? I ain’t eating no damn salad made in some foreign country!!

You really are too stupid for words. You should be banned because you are an obvious troll. Flaming in the freaking pit is like a duck swimming in the water…it’s perfectly natural. Have you never even bothered to read the fucking rules, you moron?
If you can’t handle the heat, put me on ignore.
You mean like you have? Not everyone is a fucking baby like you are.

So, because YOU don’t understand standard economic theory, it’s the faults of the posters trying to explain it to you? Because that’s what is actually happening. You post a few links to webpages you either don’t understand (even when they are explained to you), or from fringe loony blogs or the like, and then pat yourself on the back for being right again, and how stupid anyone who doesn’t believe (using that word intentionally) what you do is. It’s hilarious to see you come into these threads without a shred of understanding of even the basics and try and school 'dopers who have degrees in fields related to the subjects you are blathering on about. Have you noticed that NO ONE, aside from the occasional fringe 'doper even more clueless than you are, ever agrees with you broadly on any subject? They might agree with some statement you make (hell, even I agree with you from time to time…even blind nuts such as yourself find a squirrel occasionally), but overall and regardless of what school of economics thought they are coming from, they mostly disagree with your overall theme.
YOU think that’s because we are some nest of pro-Free Traders/pro-Offshorers/anti-tariff/whatever the fuck you ‘think’ we all are in lock step about, but the reality is that your ideas are so stupid and wacky that you have managed to unite 'dopers from nearly every political or economics faction on this board against you. THAT really takes some mad skillz.
Jeez, I thought calling someone a pussy was against the rules here. Shows just how fickle the so-called moderators are.
Still haven’t figure out the concept that there are different forums with different rules, ehe? Well, no surprise, as stupid as you are. Have you ever thought of, I don’t know, maybe reading the FAQs in each forum to try and understand the rules? Too complicated for you? Have you ever considered ASKING a mod via PM what the rules are, or starting a thread in the About This Message Board forum?

Well, for one an adult would have the wherewithal for a better retort. Or failing that, just dredge up the insults you receive on the playground.

Actually, it shows there’s one other thing you don’t know shit about. The list keeps growing.
