CMC fnord!

thanks

Looks more like HoneyBadgerDC started that thread than Hewey Logan

Sorry, I get my fucking idiots confused sometimes.

This virus thing is making me lose my patience with these dangerous assholes.

I’d be very surprised if this doesn’t get a warning for ignoring moderator instructions.

Report the post.

Here it is:

Jim Peebles, you are the stupidest fucking person that has ever drooled their way through registering for the SDMB. Our mission is fighting ignorance. You are the very personification of ignorance. You are supercharged ignorance on steroids.

Even though viral diseases are incurable and barely treatable, you believe this one is curable. Even though vaccines are the only preventative for viruses, you claim there is a pill that will prevent coronavirus. The Trump Pill. Yes, he actually called it the Trump Pill.

We can all take one and go back to work, virus eradicated. Us Democrats make everything seem so hard. The only reason science has failed to make any inroads against viral diseases for the past 50 years is hatred for Donald Trump. Trump Derangement Syndrome is the reason there is no cure for SARS, Ebola, the flu, herpes or the common cold.

And I pit people that should’ve known better for not shooting this crap down hard and fast enough. The doctors that softened their criticism because Trump. The already compromised FDA relaxing their already lax standards again. Once these standards are lowered, it’s hard to pull them back up. I fully expect that at some point the FDA will test for safe only, and leave effective up to the free market.

Everyone needs to know that the line between alternative woo and good medicine isn’t a line, it a continuum. People with medical degrees and white coats and chemicals with long names that do scientific sounding stuff like “blocking zinc channels” can be just as bad as the wild-haired guys hawking mushrooms and shark cartilage as a cancer cure.

Already had before posting. :slight_smile:

I doubt it. Colibri only said, “Don’t open new threads on the subjunctive,” not, “Don’t reply to an existing thread.”

Somebody needs a topic ban, Suntan Lotion too.
The reason ‘it’s taking longer than we thought’ is because the rules force us to tolerate ignorance.

Well I can see how that would confuse him.

Did you miss “Stop promoting untested treatments for coronavirus”?

He also said, “Until that time, don’t open new threads on this subject.” Did you miss that?

To be clear: I reported the post for attempting to skirt the “stop promoting untested treatment” instruction rather than ignoring the “don’t open new threads” instruction.

He didn’t violate the letter of the instruction. He did not open a thread promoting quackery. He promoted quackery in a thread reply. He certainly disobeyed the intent though, which was not to spread unsourced bullshit that could be legitimately dangerous if followed.

And spread it and spread it and spread it. Seems like every second post in his “Let’s try quack medicine, what could go wrong?” thread is another wheelbarrow of misinformation.

My brain hurts after reading his ramblings, and his willful ignorance… and my heart hurts for the stupidity of humankind. Right now, that stupidity is deadly.

I would never have thought to open a thread on a subjunctive. Why would anyone? (Was that an auto-correct innovation?)

I suspect that Donald J. Trump, when bored in between watching Fox News programs, and with nothing else to do, posts here under the pseudonym “Jim Peebles”, which I presume he considers less obvious than “John Miller” or “John Barron”.

Would that mean I’d have to stop wishing for him to die?*

:frowning:

*Not Peebles; the America-hating fuckstick.
