I got the same, reported it, then deleted it. Then I wondered if deleting it also deleted my report. I don’t care enough to start a thread in ATMB, but maybe a mod here can tell me. ---

I don’t care enough to start a thread in ATMB, but maybe a mod here can tell me. No, the report generates a message in a separate forum quoting the PM. This remains even if the PM itself is deleted. If you report a PM then all the mods can see it, but it’s good to notify at least one directly since we don’t get emails unless a report is in our forum. ---

Boy, I’ve heard of playing the long game before, but this is ridiculous. Over in Cafe Society, a poster named **Terry the Tramp** (registered fifteen months ago) is spoiling the hell out of _The Last Jedi_. No, I’m not going to link to it. I gather that some Dopers are advocating for the thread to be cornfielded. ---

I AM a Star Wars fan (which is to say I enjoy the first three movies in the franchise), and I frankly couldn’t care less about any spoilers that don’t involve the current villain/dweeb falling into a fusion reactor (not because of anything evil that he’s done, but because he’s such a whiny bitch. If J.D. Salinger had seen The Force Awakens in 1950, Holden Caulfield would be called Kylo Ren). That said, **Terry the Tramp** is a huge DICK. ---

I may be paranoid as fuck, but this fellow is starting to ping my radar: Here he talks about living in Ireland > [@What is the best "portable" air conditioning fan that I can carry in a suitcase?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-the-best-portable-air-conditioning-fan-that-i-can-carry-in-a-suitcase/804187/1): > > **It has gotten very cold this December in Northern Ireland** and I don’t want the awful experience that I had last Christmas of being in another b&b experiencing frostbite despite wearing warm socks.

Anyways, she took the drugs but apparently after a few weeks, the effects kicked in. It’s starting to sound like you know who. If terrorism comes up, or sex change, I’ll call it confirmed. ---
