> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Why don’t you start that thread, then? We promise we won’t snark at you here for doing so. 😉 I’m an idea man. I might though if it really seems like nobody else will. BigT we already argue about that now, and musings about general board douchebaggery and stupid posts are outnumbering the discussions of actual trolls in here now. if a general snark thread would be too tedious for you, you aren’t actually contractually obligated to read it or anything. ---

I think that we need an omnibus omnibus thread, listing all past omnibus threads. ---

> [@Colibri](#): > > Ah, but he is. There’s a loophole in the finger wagger’s contract. It stipulates that a deputy must monitor and respond to no less than 95% of the wrongdoing in any messages within their purview. As long as he fits the general snark thread into the 5% that he’s allowed to skip due to moral objections or having to pee he’s on solid ground. ---

OK I had to go ahead and [start it](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=849083) just to make sure it wouldn’t have the word Omnibus in the title. ---

Did he actually say that? Wow, if I’d have known that I would not have bothered to engage him and attempt to explain anything to him. Between that and this latest bit, I genuinely hope that someone in his life has made him known to his local law enforcement agencies, because it is only a matter of time before he kills someone. If he hasn’t already. ---

Well, “the board” (ie, the board ownership and management) likely wants to stay completely out of such things, and I certainly wouldn’t blame them, but this is where I wonder if it isn’t time to pass on a link to his answers to my very specific moral questions to his local authorities. “Is it wrong to strangle your friend’s children in their cribs?” “It’s only wrong because other people say it’s wrong”. Is goddamned scary. I hope to God that his family and friends know how dangerous he is, before he decides that grandma is old and has some nice stuff… Or his friends were a lot more fun before they had that baby. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > 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. If you’re not going to give me an answer, then don’t answer, asshole. After two mod notes, and every single person who has read that thread disagreeing with you, is there any point at which you are prepared to reconsider that perhaps it wasn’t me being the asshole there, or are you planning to just continue doubling down? The first thing I do when I get an unexpected reaction is to reread my posts carefully to check if I was unintentionally rude or abrasive, and to apologize if I was. On this occasion I was not. _Your_ reaction was quite bizarre. As I said in the thread, I suggest you reread tomorrow with fresh eyes and reconsider whether you reaction was appropriate, if you don’t want to get a reputation as an unbalanced psychopath. ---

We’ve gone from trolls, to a person being accused of being a psychopath accusing a third person of being a sociopath. Maybe we also need an anti-social personality disorder thread. Thanks Obama. ---

> [@steatopygia](#): > > We’ve gone from trolls, to a person being accused of being a psychopath accusing a third person of being a sociopath. Reimann’s accusation is an insult, not a factual accusation. It’s also about 4 hours too late, which says more about him than me. ---
