> [@chiroptera](#): > > Meh, I’m not seeing much trollery. > > I think he is an old man with too much time on his hands, too many unfounded opinions and an unhealthy need for approval and attention. Yeah, this. I am sooooo over old guys right now. Now that the baby boomers are past retirement age they’re just…everywhere. My dad included. They’re everywhere being angry and pushy and superior and annoying. And gross (yes you **aceplace57** ). I hope some old guy on this board gets pissed at the above sentiment and starts a thread about how old guys are not all bad, “for instance not me” and gives me some examples of some old guys who aren’t all that bad. Because I need my faith restored, and your peers are making you look awful. **glee**. He’s an old guy who’s not that bad. He should start a thread. **KlondikeGeoff** isn’t bad either but he’s more mature (er, way older) than some of these annoying dudes. ---

> [@Shodan](#): > > So, **jtur88** , you fucking troll, were you trolling the first time and lying the second, or lying the first time and trolling the second? I’ve met hardcore antitheists in real life. It wouldn’t surprise me that someone could end up genuinely hating the Christianity and the Christian Establishment™ They too were surprising tolerant of Muslims, because anything Evangelicals disliked must be in their minds, totally good. ---

He’s the one who said he would never call the cops _in any situation_ because the police are the enemy. This was in response to people saying how they had called the cops because of accidents, assaults, robberies, etc: > [@Have you ever called the cops?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-ever-called-the-cops/693927/57): > > I don’t consider it the obligation of a citizen to blindly reinforce and perpetuate a broken system.

The post that put him on my radar was in a thread about future developments we wish we could live to see. He said [QUOTE=jtur88] You will see 2050, and I saw 1950, and I wouldn’t trade places with any of you, nor would anybody else of my generation. [/QUOTE] I have known older people who would have loved to live long enough to see the cure for what was killing them, or to have been born in a time when the cure existed. The one that really iced it for me was his thread-shit in **drewtwo99** ’s happy thread about finally having a positive net worth. Our hero’s contribution? [QUOTE=jtur88] Do you know who you just passed up? A beggar in Calcutta who sleeps on a piece of cardboard in the alley, who owns his cardboard and has no debts. [/QUOTE] What a guy. Two weeks later **drewtwo99** left SDMB, for various other reasons. I wonder what spurred burst of posting he has been on? He has been around since 8/4/2011 with 1705 total posts, and over 1000 of them have been since March of this year, over 500 in the past month. ---

His co-workers don’t have to deal with his douchey ass anymore. Unfortunately, he’s decided that we should be graced with his presence instead. ---

I like the way he spoke for his entire generation on the 1950/2050 thing. God help any generation that needs **jtur88** as a spokesman.
