How thin skinned is abashed that a couple of mod-notes mess up the debate? [QUOTE=abashed] you have just messed up an interesting debate that is giving people pleasure [/QUOTE] No, troll child, you messed up a waste of time discussion by breaking several beneficial and simple rules. Looking forward to your banning. ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > I hope he’s properly humiliated or chagrined. Remorseful or embarrassed even. They never do tho-their mentality simply doesn’t work that way. Note (fwiw) I spotted him first here in this thread and even predicted that he would slowly but inevitably start to (simultaneously) become both more belligerent and incoherent. It’s just the nature of this particular species, and I am sure he’s done the exact same shtick on other boards. They’re incapable of either authentic introspection or change. ---

Glad to see the back of that nonsense. I think the GD nonsense was the real agenda, but those threads were easy to ignore. The incessant GQ threads were far more annoying. His shtick there was to post something disingenuously naive or dumb - as he admitted, but claimed it was to stimulate a discussion to “educate” people. Even that would have been sufficiently annoying, but I think it’s now pretty clear that it was really > [@digs](#): > > …the trollish option, where he’s thinking “Bet I can get these smartypants to get their smartyundies in a bunch!” ---

> [@naita](#): > > How thin skinned is abashed that a couple of mod-notes mess up the debate? I don’t think you’re assessing the trollish intent correctly. That particular piece of nascent suicide-by-mob smells to me of “Well, I’ve milked these yokels of all the amusing interaction I’ll probably ever get out of them, so it’s time to drop the last few grenades and chuckle at them as they froth and rage.” He’s not a particularly clever troll, but he’s following the standard playbooks pretty well. That puts him in the top 10% of worthless trolls that infest this place. ---
