I wsa giving the benifit of the doubt to our new friend [Euphrosyne in the baker case thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20781434#post20781434), but she(/he?) has crossed the line from naive, faithful, and dedicated to ones faith, to outright trollery. Massive overreaction to anything that is said, continued accusations that anyone who is looking to prevent discrimination is no different from the soviet union institution chattel slavery, and an admonishment that she note that others have suffered far more for their faith than baking a cake she takes as a death threat. She is either remarkably stupid, and incapable of having a productive conversation, or is a troll, and has no desire. Either way, I don’t think I will be responding to her anymore unless she calms the fuck down and actually respond to what people write, not to what the voices in her head are telling her. ---

I looked up her name in the translate tool. “Ευφροσην” seems to mean “courtesy”, “Ευφροσύνη” means “gladness”, but I am not sure what the right transliteration would be. ---

If I didn’t think it’d overload the hamsters, I’d start an “ **Omnibus Annoyances R Us Thread** ”… Top of the list would be “People who ask a question when they know the answer already…” F’rinstance, in yet another Improbable Sci-Fi thread, **Jim B.** asks " > [@](#): > > Take the 60’s TV show _Lost in Space_.

Any time someone says “I am correct, aren’t I?” or “Please tell me where you disagree”, it seems like they’re never really inviting us to prove them wrong, they just want to rope us in so they’ll get more attention. Please tell me where you disagree (with my half-thought-out sexist/racist/trumpist opinion)… “And thank you in advance to all who reply”… Sheesh. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > I looked up her name in the translate tool. “Ευφροσην” seems to mean “courtesy”, “Ευφροσύνη” means “gladness”, but I am not sure what the right transliteration would be. I assume that the name is meant straight–[a goddess of Joy or Mirth, and the incarnation of grace and beauty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphrosyne_(mythology)). Remember–she is the one who is [always happy](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20752062#post20752062) and loves unconditionally–until faced with very mild opposition, in which case she is incensed over being harassed by misogynistic bullies.

You know, sometimes I really struggle with even daring to ask physics and cosmology questions because of exactly what happened in my thread in GQ. Fucking arrogant assholes just want to be arrogant assholes and tell people they’re wrong instead of giving productive answers to the questions. Looking at you, **Reimann** , you arrogant jackhole.

Looking at you, **Reimann** , you arrogant jackhole. If you’re not going to give me an answer, then don’t answer, asshole. I think you’re mistaken about **Reimann** – in general and in that thread in particular. Note that you got 2 mod notes in that thread about dialing it back, not anyone else. Anyway, I think **Reimann** is a well informed poster who can craft a well written post, and has been a very good addition to this board since he joined a couple years ago.

Thirding the motion for a general snark thread. If I had a vote that is. This thread would be better dedicated to discussion of actual trolls and socks. But I would enjoy a general snark thread too. ETA this is sort of the point of the minirants threads, but we’ve gotten a lot meaner and snarkier since it developed its faithful group of posters. ---

I don’t like the idea, because it would mean people would start arguing over whether something really goes in the troll thread or the annoyances thread. I also suspect a “snark” thread would devolve to everyone complaining about every little thing and become very tedious.
