I vote “YES”. The dude is a fucking moron. Kind of like Adaher without the talent. Seriously, doorhinge, do you really think that repeating stupid phrases over and over will help prove your point? Examples: Great NJ Lane Reassignment Port Authority (insert name) All That Is Benghazi Monster Hillary’s old State Dept That’s some 5-year-old on the playground, Sean Hannity bullshit. So stop. It’s not helping. It’s annoying as fuck. Plus, [It might actually help if you would stop being an asshole for a second](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17412659&postcount=5) and actually read the articles you are commenting on. ---

Yes, for a very stupid value of doorknob. ---

He’s pretty much the poster boy for “ad nauseam”, yeah. I sheepishly admit to being particularly annoyed by his repetition of “the investigation is going to take place” in the Benghazi thread, every time oozing with self-satisfaction and triumph like he’s just slammed down four aces or something. Fuck my ass with a pineapple, but it’s grating. ---

His use of “Hahahahaha” as a rhetorical tool of reasoned debate is a masterpiece of sophistication and intellectual persuasion. I’m sure that Bertrand Russell couldn’t have bettered it. ETA: > [@Kobal2](#): > > . . . Fuck my ass with a pineapple, but it’s grating. Photos! Photos! Photos! 😉 ---

He’s just a troll. Not even a particularly good one, just repetitious as hell. It’s sad & funny when he trips over his own words tho, like he recently did in the GD Benghazi thread. ---

**doorhinge’s** posts in the Benghazi thread have been indistinguishable from parody from the get-go. I don’t understand what gratification you people derive from trying to engage him in debate, because I find it annoying as all hell. I swear I’m beginning to think he has a special keyboard, which instead of letters just has keys like “all things Benghazi,” “readable documents,” “unanswered questions,” “the bipartisan investigation will take place,” and “HAHAHAHAHA,” which he just keeps typing in random succession. And of course, let’s not forget “ol’ Hillary’s ol’ State Department,” which is one of the most baffling, unclever, unfunny things I’ve ever heard someone persist in repeating over and over. Who the fuck is this person and why is he such an obtuse, sophomoric retard? PS: I take the utter throwing-in-the-towel by any Benghazi conspiracist other than **doorhinge** as de facto admission that the debate is settled: there is no new information that could possibly surface to change their mind that there’s a Benghazi scandal. It’s really time to take this thread out back and put it out of its misery once and for all. ---

> [@Donald\_Rump](#): > > I don’t understand what gratification you people derive from trying to engage him in debate, because I find it annoying as all hell. This is indeed truly perplexing. Some people, whose opinions I have read for a long time and respect, continue to engage doorhinge even when he proven himself time and again to be a clueless moron. I don’t get it either. ---

It didn’t like they rhymed to me either, but on closer examination I think they do. Ore-inge. Door-hinge. ---

**Doorhinge** isn’t dumber than a doorknob, but he has the makeup of prep school grad turned fratboy who couldn’t get in to Yale but goes to Southern Connecticut so that he can say that he goes to school in New Haven. I say that he’s more of a douche. ---
