All his posts are cornfielded. I’m assuming the mods are investigating whether he might have been a sock of somebody else.

Which is an interesting idea for a Joe job.

Create an account with a name sort-kinda vaguely related to an existing poster who’s already on the Mods’ radar. Then go wild posting crap in a style meant to mimic that poster. While letting some small personal details “slip”. Perhaps penis ensues.

This is \*not \*a good idea and I’m certainly not advocating it.

Maybe off topic for this thread, strictly speaking, but we don’t have a “Dopers who have apparently & suddenly become body-snatched for no reason at all” thread…

**Tripolar** [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=840195) with a bunch of straw men, either/or, and other fallacies relating to universal health coverage. I don’t recall him going way out of his way to sound like an anally retentive “concerned” pickniter before (but maybe I am wrong).

Carry on.

I noticed that about **Tripolar** too.

I like the bodysnatcher thread idea.

I’m not that familiar with **Tripolar** , but that really is one dumb thread. It’s like, “let me just regurgitate all the bullshit lies I can remember that uninformed right-wing yokels say about health care. Because, like, this has never been discussed here before, ever”. 😛

Perhaps a more generous interpretation is that this is a misguided attempt to find a “middle ground” on healthcare. It’s just that looking for the middle ground is not always appropriate. Vaccines are not half as dangerous at antivaxxers claim, and the earth is not somewhat flat.

He’s a good guy, generally, although I don’t know where that thread came from. I like his demented sense of humor, too (and I mean “demented” in good way).

Fortunately the OP admitted he was ranting, so no reason not to move it to the Pit.

Not to nitpick or anything, but the correct word is _nitpicker_.

There is no word such as “picknit”, as far as Google told me.

Hey Yogi, boo-boo is my nickname, and I tend to nitpick as well as picnic!  
Maybe the word should be PIT-NICK

Today has been a busy day. I didn’t bother to link to the ativan person (possibly legit), or the foreign person who hurt her husband (not legit), but now someone (:rolleyes:) has bumped the [scat](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20572009&postcount=80) thread. Zombie fetish just in time for Halloween.

Not quite trollery, but utter fuckwittery is truthseeker2 posting just “[Pure Islam](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20574201&postcount=11)” in the thread about the truck attack in NYC. Nematode.

Well, continuing to push the point after an official warning has it’s own [del]rewards[/del] consequences.

Got a warning. Then still had to make one more comment in spite of warning. I’m debating reporting it.
