Bullshit apology by someone trying to save his own ass. Apparently he’s a 40 year old vet with a wife and kids in Kentucky and his life would be ruined if everyone found out what a disgusting racist asshat he is.

Has Morgenstern always been a jerk and I hadn’t noticed or has he turned up the trollish assholery recently? He took some drive-by shots at **Broomstick** in **Ambivalid** ’s Pit thread, and now he’s being hostile and almost threatening to **sunnydaze**.

He’s always been an asshole about legal stuff, but seems to post in streaks with large gaps in between. At least as far as my recollection of seeing him around.

This is a self-correcting problem. He’ll get a warning at some point.

Judging by the way he went, most likely a sleeper sock, outed when he posted in that Pit thread.

Sleeper socks are like the Sith - there are always two. So now the game is to find who else was banned.

Or they could be like Rama, in which case there must be 3.

And while we’re at it, can we insta-ban anyone who starts a GD thread with “According to my Facebook feed…” 🙂

Really?  
I imagine bobo gogo was obvious (even to me) but, is there suddenly a bloom of outed socks after something like that? I may have to bump the “elephant in the room” thread if we drop below 4000. 😃

Yes. I vote yes. I’d sock up and vote many times, but that would backfire.

No, I meant that if bobo was a sock, there are two (or more) accounts for the same person, and the mods will ban all the accounts at once.

I think he was banned because he used the dreaded “t” word.

Most likely. I checked his posting history and he seemed kind of an asshole. He’s been modded before. The insult was probably the last straw. Definitely inappropriate, given the subject matter of the thread.

EDIT - I see he’s used that particular insult before, too.

Let’s say he was banned for _multiple_ reasons. :rolleyes:

This is where, on a board with pictures, someone would post the Matrix meme about having the same thread n million times and we are exceedingly good at it.

Not quite to the level of trolling, but I found Charlie Tan’s post in the “[Why do we tan](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=830384)” thread really weird and out of the blue.
