You have to realize that crazy people can recognize when other people are crazy, _they just can’t recognize that they are crazy themselves._

There are so many misconceptions about women in that thread it’s a wonder we’ve survived as a species. Where do they get their info, red pill blogs?? I really need to stay out of threads that piss me off. I’ve been succeeding with two of them, but it’s finals week, I’ve been stressed, and I go off WAY too easily!

Well, at first it was funny, but sometimes the funny wears off (usually when **fotheringay** shows up to argue the wrong side of things). Not speaking for **Helena330** , but it’s happened to me.

I’m aware of that. Usually, I succeed, but sometimes I don’t. I’ve resisted the Shodan pit thread, at least.

Yeah, I replied to that in the Clusterfück thread with:

I was aware of **TheGrapist**. I was not aware of **[AllTheGood](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20845352&postcount=24)**, his close cousin. I just linked to the one post, but there’s at least one other in the same. :smack:

For some time now, **Bloodstalk** has been embarking on a series just asking of pressing questions:

[What do you think about what this thing that this guy said about this thing?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=850086)

[Also this thing, that this guy said, what do you think about this other thing?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=849987)

[Should I argue with that guy in the sheet?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=851071)

Now we have:  
[Does the EVERYONE hate white folk?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=851091)

I tried to be patient but fuck that shit. Troll. Troll. Troll.

You think so?..

I’m more inclined to think he’s just another L700 type – socially awkward, insecure, gullible with limited mental capacity.

Yeah no, this guy is just blatantly stating his own opinions, which are basically standard conservative talking points, and hiding behind the (barely) plausible deniability of some nameless third party, just as people say “SWIM” for “Someone Who Isn’t Me” on forums about illegal drugs. It’s very transparent. I believe that the other guy actually is autistic.

I have no idea what L7 is. 6 guys who pass the keyboard around while smoking dope is about as close as I can get.

SWIM nicely describes BS. Nice.
