He’s back. I won’t bother to link because I’m sure he’ll be gone again shortly. And I hope they bury him deeper in the corn maze this time. ---

It’s a legit topic, I guess, but what’s with this whole bit about him being convinced it’s the right decision. Yeah, right. It’s the “right” decision because he thinks she would lose. ---

I think he was being sarcastic. But he’s been around long enough to know better than to post something like that in Elections when it’s barely MPSIMS material. ---

Here’s another odd sleeper–Lickety\_Split made 2 posts in March 2012, then 47 posts (so far) in the last 3 days. Many of them defending the reality of psychics. ---

The Board was hacked a while back. Active users were all told to change passwords. Maybe the unused ones are slowly getting accessed by whomever got the data. ---

As I point out in another thread, he also kinda talks like a 4chan troll but with grammar. I decided to engage because of the join date. I guess I should have checked the posting history. ---

I used to think (perhaps wrongly) that he was one of the more rational conservatives here. I know, it’s not saying much, but still. But it’s like all that right-wing ranting has started to affect his brain. Maybe it’s the “Trump Effect”, where it’s now OK to be an irrational raving moron. ---

I took that thread’s OP as being teasingly tongue in cheek. Which may have been pressing the envelope a bit in terms of the complaints it’ll trigger. It’s what he does in the next few threads he posts to that’ll tell the tale. ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > I think he was being sarcastic. But he’s been around long enough to know better than to post something like that in Elections when it’s barely MPSIMS material. It’s really simple: Ask yourself if you think he started that thread to stimulate an honest debate on the subject, or to stir the pot again? We aren’t mind readers, so we can’t be 100% certain, but we have the capacity to make judgements based on past behavior. But if you are uncertain, then you are uncertain. I’m OK disagreeing on the matter. ---

We aren’t mind readers, so we can’t be 100% certain, but we have the capacity to make judgements based on past behavior. You’re right, one has to keep an open mind.
