[QUOTE=mswas] I don’t scroll past Miller. He’s the Protagonist. [/QUOTE] So, when you said (my bolding): [QUOTE=mswas] What I learned from this thread is to perform triage on a thread. To scroll past those that have less of a chance of making it like **Miller** , Quiddity Glomfuster or Kalhoun, and focus on arguments from Bricker, yourelf, Telemark, Dragoness or Kimstu. If I had cut out **Miller** alone, I would have freed up a lot of time to make better posts. [/QUOTE] …again, you were just talking shit? But you did get one thing right, even if only by implication - YOU are certainly the **Antagonist** in this whole sad story. An obstacle to be overcome. ---

Sunlight’s the traditional remedy for trolls - I say we keep doing like we have been. Expose the lies, evasions, made-up definitions and general stupidity to the bright light of day. Or I have these goats… ---

I love the notion of ‘You offended my delicate sensibilities, therefore because I am a sissy with a delicate nervous system, you must have been trying to hurt me on purpose.’ So there is no confusion on this one. I do not consider a transgender person to be a sissy in any way. It takes a lot of balls to cut them off. ---

Despite dissimulations to the contrary, it’s become abundantly clear that **mswas** is posting transphobic propaganda and going about it with an attitude problem as well. In both threads concerned. I don’t get it. Before this started, he seemed OK until he suddenly began this Dr. Jekyll & transphobic Mr. Hyde behavior. WTF. He isn’t fooling anyone. Unless he is fooling himself, and that would be just sad and pathetic. ---

I think he just hides his bigotry most of the time and when he gets excited, forgets to cover himself. And I don’t think the drug use helps any… ---

LonesomePolecat strikes me as the truly malicious type, and I frankly don’t understand how what he’s doing there now isn’t trolling, but whatever, it’s not my message board.
