> [@Colibri](#): > > Asking four questions in GQ on the same day makes someone a troll now? On this, I remembered a ATMB thread from around the time I first joined about someone being suspended for starting too many threads too close together. Googling, I see that [it was the king of boff](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=813295), but it seems to be a pretty specific wrist-slapping and not a general discouragement on rate of posting. ---

We occasionally have newbies go wild and post a slew of new threads in a short time. If it persists, we may tell them to cool it. **boffking** has started more than 500 threads. The reason he got modded was because he was starting threads in GD and then not returning, and ignoring mod instructions to change his behavior. Returning to threads is less important in GQ than in other forums. In any case, since Steve has started only four threads in the last 8 years (albeit all today) he has a way to go before there might be a problem. ---

I was just wondering. Maybe he retired and now has time for these threads. I haven’t read but one, he seems pretty normal. But don’t go by me. YMMV ---

Damn. I wish there was a general assholes thread. I mean, **D’Anconia** is pretty trollish with his constant JAQing-off (for which he has been warned), but [this comment](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20793327#post20793327) shows what a bottom-feeding piece of shit the guy is. Sorry to put this here, but he does not deserve his own Pit thread (though he probably does have one down there somewhere). ---

D’Anconia is a troll and a fuckwit. I think more of a Clothahump type troll who believes at least some of the fuckwitted shit he posts and also enjoys annoying people with it and getting negative attention. ---

Sorry to put this here, but he does not deserve his own Pit thread (though he probably does have one down there somewhere). I think I understand where **D’Anconia** is coming from. You should not give a drug addict money for subsistence. You should not give a drug addict food directly, either, because food = money. You should not give a drug addict anything. However, in the interest of Freedom™, you must ensure that the nation is entirely awash in guns, so that anyone – say, for instance, a desperate heroin addict – can beg, borrow, or steal a gun. This always ends well. **D’Anconia** ’s stature relative to humanity is like that watery stuff that comes out of the ass of a diarrhetic horse. ---

> [@wolfpup](#): > > I think I understand where **D’Anconia** is coming from. You should not give a drug addict money for subsistence. You should not give a drug addict food directly, either, because food = money. You should not give a drug addict anything… Presumably the place D’Anconia is fundamentally coming from is indicated by his username. But on the serious question of not enabling addicts - treatment experts have different views on where to draw the line, but food is one of the few things you can provide, depending on context. If somebody is still functioning at a fairly high level, obviously just buying them a $200 bag of groceries is enabling, it _does_ just free up money to buy drugs in the way D’Anconia describes. But that didn’t sound like what the OP was describing. I certainly don’t think there’s any problem with giving a single meal to somebody homeless, at or close to destitution, possibly malnourished. And not all homeless people are drug addicts, of course. I put a cite in the thread. ---
