I suppose a “congratulations” thread would be out of order. 😛

No, he’s had another troll kill. That one wasn’t around long enough to be noticed.

We do have problems, though! But we are also able to talk about the said problems without adding a “lol” at the end of every sentence. Important life skill, that. 😉

It was an astonishing trajectory. His first posts were long and philosophical, full of intricate reasoning. (Wrong, but at least quite literate.) But every time he got told, “No, that’s wrong,” he descended one step on the grand staircase to hell.

Seriously, I’m all for transparency. I figure if a poster had significant interaction with other posters it’s a courtesy to the other posters to make an announcement. Spammers and socks don’t get the same treatment of course.

I only wish I’d had the opportunity to tell him to “Fuck off” more often. I feel like he left before really knowing just how I sincerely I meant it.

Does a moderator get “ace” status after 5 confirmed kills?

I found his preoccupation with humanism and his need to pigeon-hole anyone who disagreed with him rather bizarre.

Watching him throw _“humanism is an ideology!!!11!”_ into a thread like it was a Randy Savage elbow-drop style finishing move only to have everyone else go - 'Yeah, so?" was kinda funny.

Does that habit suggest that he was a lol **Cat**?

Well, that’s enough story time for today, children.  
Now, please open your desks and open your Arithmetic Books to Chapter 5.  
Last night’s homework began with Number 12.

Jimmy, what answer did you get…?

Uh-Oh. In this thread it looks like Femmejean may be going Calico Jack on us.

No, I think they get “00” status after two kills. Nothing special about the designation, just indicates that you’ve had to ban a chap in cold blood.

I was just coming in to comment on **Femmejean**. He/she’s just started one on whether the 9/11 hijackers could have been de-radicalized. Anyone want to start off the betting on this one?
