[Trisha is back](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=847378). I don’t think she’s a troll, but she’s definitely unique.

I tried in a couple threads to herd them, to no avail, not to mention I’m not crazy about trying to be a thread cop. The fact that they know they can putz around with their disingenuous sophistry makes them doubly curb-stompable. They know full well when they’re entering the derailing land of thread-shitting screeds.

Outhouse tank for them.

**Reecejackox** is our latest questioning soul. All of his/her posts are starting new threads that ask personal questions like they are gathering information on the human condition. They’re not quite like the previous posters that seemed to be fishing for security question answers, but the posting history pretty much assures I won’t be answering any of the questions.

No troll at all, but since this thread tends to be a bit of a catch-all, when Quasimodal posted [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=847445) thread for a couple of minutes there I thought it was Quasimodem posting again. I’ve been “worried” (as much as you can be worried about a somewhat rarely posting stranger on the internet) ever since his [delusional parasitosis event](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=840321). That he hasn’t been back is _not_ a good sign.

This dingbat is going to get that stick stuck sideways in her ass and be really sorry. It’ll take an MD to get that one out.

I have a sense about [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=847463). He says that he gets migraines from the left’s suffocating obsession with something most of us have never heard of.

He’s definitely trolling. Wait for the punchline, he’ll drop it pretty soon I suspect.

Yeah. Going on about intersectionality, when antidisestablishmentarianism is clearly the real issue.

He’s right, though. We leftees are absolutely obsessed about intersectionality. I can tell you for a fact I was obsessing about it so much last night that I couldn’t sleep all night. “Intersectionality! What is it?”, I kept saying to myself, “what does it mean?”. Intellectually tormented, I kept repeating these questions over and over until my Bernese Mountain Dog looked at me strangely and went to sleep in the other room.

But as dawn broke, the sun’s first glimmering light seemed to bring an epiphany. “Yes!”, I bellowed, with the boundless joy of groundbreaking discovery, “I have it!” as my dog looked in cautiously through the doorway. “Intersectionality!”, I screamed! “It means: sometimes, things are complicated!”

With lusty cries of “Eureka!” that made the walls tremble, I was prepared to run screaming through the neighborhood, Archimedes-like, until I noticed it was cold and snowy out and for some reason the damn dog was now whimpering in the corner. But I know that what I have achieved is only the first step. More intellectual progress must be made tonight, and another obsessive sleepless night awaits.

And now I have a migraine.

Speaking of intersectionality, they just took the red light cameras off the one closest to me.

I’m just glad that someone, somewhere is onto the notion that different people are different. _Who knew?_

As I’m now something of a scholar on the subject of intersectionality, let me clarify that for you, **John**. Different people are different in different ways that depends on their differences, so that people with some differences are differently different than those with other differences even though they have some of the same differences, because even the same differences will then be differently different, and that makes a difference. I hope I make myself clear. An example of this is Sammy Davis Jr, who was black, Jewish, a Democrat, and a Nixon supporter all at the same time, causing social scientists with clipboards to besiege him like ravenous wolves.
