Is the reason why you’re here because you envision liberals as duck targets in one of those fairground booths and shoot them with vigor? Do you get mad when they don’t fall? You’re practically forking over your life savings to the booth guy. ---

In that one-year span, he’s made 136913 posts/comments. That seems excessive. I missed the earlier post by **eschereal** on this new phenomenon, but I had definitely noticed the phenomenon itself. He now seems to have abandoned [his unique posting style](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20050126&postcount=241), although he certainly had a [spirited defense of it](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20050240&postcount=242). He was recently emboldened to [start his first thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=821099), which I think might have set a new record for a total endurance of 11 minutes from start to lock. ---

S #842 That join date was actually 11 years ago, not one. ```auto Total Posts Last Post Last Seen Joined 136913 03/03/17 03/03/17 03/19/06 ``` But that is still a very high post count: about 1.4 per hour every hour for 11 years straight. But I noticed that other users on the same forum all seem to have extremely high post counts so I wonder if they are all actually that verbose or if the forum software is counting something else. They have image galleries for example where users can post multiple albums of photos sort of like facebook and he has thousands. Each of those might count as a post. They may count PM’s as posts. If they have a “like” button or +1 type thing, each click of those might count as a post. I dunno, even sp that is still a lot. I’m not at all convinced or even inclined to think that he is a troll, however, but I guess time will tell. ---

Where do folks get this stuff??? I don’t get a didactic vibe from those posts. Rather, I get the feeling that he’s noticing certain assumptions in his worldview viv-a-vis race relations, trying to trace them back to personal observations from his past, and inviting scrutiny and commentary from the Teeming Millions. The world is a toxic place these days. We would do well to assist one another in not allowing that toxicity to muddle our perceptions wrt the posts we encounter here. And in keeping with that nostrum, I’d be grateful if someone could direct me to evidence that **Okrahoma** is _not_ useless. ---
