There’s the old saying “Life is like a shit sandwich; the more bread you have the less shit you eat.” We know **jturd** is flat broke. He’s quite proud of that. If more bread =\> less shit, than no bread =\> all shit. I enjoy a good eccentric as much as the next guy. But recently his eccentricity is pretty darn hostile. ---

True. When he first moved, his posts were mostly positive, interspersed with weird (can you share underwear when you travel). Now they’re back to anti-social nastiness. I’m wondering if his relocation didn’t work out. If that’s true, I feel for him, but stop being an asshole! ---

To give a devil his due, **Fotheringay-Phipps** has produced a pretty thoughtful and well-reasoned thread right here: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=844665](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=844665).

They respond when posters click that little report icon and levy a complaint. If someone violates the rules and no one reports it, chances are there will be no mod action, possibly even if a mod stumbles on the offending post (unless it deeply offends the mod). Similarly, each PM also has the report icon, so you can complain about bad PM behavior and have a mod address it. ---

Similarly, each PM also has the report icon, so you can complain about bad PM behavior and have a mod address it. If I’m casually reading the forums and I see something that’s a clear violation of rules, it’s getting modded whether someone reported it or not. But we don’t /cannot read every post in every thread. The only way to guarantee that something comes to the attention of a mod is to report it. ETA: To clarify: if it’s in a forum I don’t Mod, _I’ll_ report it. Whether it gets modded is at the discretion of the moderators of that forum. ---

Yeah. You’ll get no debate from me on that; I agree he’s shilling for Il Douche like a madman. As I said, “a devil”. But once in awhile there’s a glimmer that he’s not 100% just reading some script from the Russians / Faux. Which opens the possibility he \*might \*learn something if he spends enough time with \*both \*ears out of that echo chamber. ---

Everyone’s talking about Trump; no one’s talking about the “women politicians just claim sexism because they can’t handle any criticism” thing. Am I off-base on this? F-P is an disingenuous argumentative prick. He’s never lost an argument in his life because even when he’s wrong, the fucking child declares unilateral victory and takes his bat and ball home. Not quite sure why I even engage with him. I know it’ll be pointless but sometimes I just can’t resist letting the smug pedantic bastard have the satisfaction of thinking he’s half the clever dick he believes himself to be. I’d pit him but I’d run out of cusses before I fully expressed how much I loath that burlap sack of assholes. ---
