> [@levdrakon](#): > > They probably don’t believe your sincerity any more than the rest of us do. Not sure what you mean by this. Look, I’m just wondering what the fuck she looks like without the troll shtick. And if she really is brain-damage level stupid, the way she seems to be, I thought just asking her to drop it might work. She spews trollery on request, so why not? Worth a shot. She’s still probably a psychopath. Going from probable to confirmed might be useful information, though. ---

> [@Martian Bigfoot](#): > > Look, Trollface, do you know what bothers me the most about you? You really seem to be terminally stupid. As in, can’t find your own ass with both hands, a map and a sniffer dog to help you level stupid. So how about I spell this out for you: > > Do you know why people are still trying to debate with you? Well, in part it’s because sometimes you lead a horse to water, and it just stands there and looks at you funny. I don’t know what’s up with that. But mostly, it’s because they actually want to talk about some of the issues you raise. There may be some genuinely debate-worthy questions somewhere inside all that batshittery. So they hold out hope way, way beyond the point where they should give up that you may be babbling in good faith. And then, instead of interesting conversations that broaden everyone’s perspective, we end up with crazy-ass spelunking into the depths of Hell, and everyone has a new set of nightmares to accompany them for the rest of their lives. > > I understand that you think that what you’re doing is satire. That, again, is because you’re terminally stupid. The rest of the world calls it trolling. Would you consider dropping the shtick? There is a place for you on the board without it, and you might even make a few more friends. As in, more than current count of zero. Many interesting GD threads might ensue. Some of them will probably still end up on the morbid and horrifying side, but at least it would be genuine, honest morbidity and horror. > > So how about it? How about you PM the mods about a name change from Zealot to Honest Debater, and join the ranks of the regular Dopers? > > And yes, I know it will never happen. Everyone can stop laughing hysterically at that thought now, and go back to laughing at the trollery. Anyone want popcorn? I’ll pass some around. Martian if anyone has been trolling in this this thread it’s been you. You’ve repeatedly asked questions that have already been obviously answered. And showed incredible lack of comprehension in your inability to grasp answers when presented to you politely. Perhaps this is why, I often try to avoid polite euphemisms. So many people aren’t smart enough to understand them. You have repeatedly demonstrated a complete inability to debate or consider cultures beyond the very narrow, uneducated American lower middle class. You have pledged your allegiance to the cult of baby breeding without being able to offer one single means through which producing babies (as opposed to producing mature, educated adults) is going to maintain human civilization. ---

😕 Huh? I can’t read what **ZPGZealot** just posted. What’s up with that? Oh, wait. That’s right I put her on my ignore list a few days ago. I figured if she ever says anything worth knowing, odds are I’ll find it out without her. Guess this means this thread has very little reason for me to read any more of it. I’m gonna go see if the Republicans have had any stupid ideas lately. _Ciao!_ ---

There’s very few people on my ignore list, but I actually get a warm fuzzy feeling in my chest when I see one of these people post in another thread.
