I thought you mods weren’t supposed to reveal your methods? Now they’ll know they have to be smarter than a moron.

“It’s easy to pretend to be a fool if you’re smart. The other way round is somewhat harder.”

Paraphrased after, I think, Kurt Tucholsky.

Eh. That’s still well within the range of “clueless newbie” rather than actually trolling. It’s unnecessarily snarky, ignores most of the posts in the thread, is internally contradictory (someone who doesn’t believe in evolution isn’t going to believe that God created evolution), and I don’t know WTF the “hot comb through nappy hair” simile is intended to convey, but Hanlon’s Razor still applies.

11 days and 11 dollars short, here, but goddamn did I let him piss me off, and I feel like a fool for taking his trollbait. Afterwards I felt like he’d been propelling himself around my swimming pool on a rocket of explosive diarrhea, and I’d been swimming after him saying, “Get out of my pool!” All I got for my efforts was a faceful of shit.

There’s an aphorism hidden somewhere in there if I can shorten it down.

He just used “radfem” in his new thread on gender. His trock-y identity is on the tip of my brain. Does it ring a bell for anyone else?

OK, we all know **Leo Bloom** as a delusional legend in his own mind when it comes to his self-image as a “creative writer”. Most of the time no one can figure out what the fuck he’s saying or what the fuck he wants. That’s cool, I wouldn’t go too far to pit someone just for being weird or eccentric.

But there’s a whole new side of **Leo Bloom** that we haven’t seen before. [He’s a fucking goddamn all-out troll!](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21224019&postcount=43) So that’s why he writes like that! It’s not that he’s eccentric, it’s that he’s some combination of incredibly stupid and intentionally aggravating douchebag. I’m genuinely surprised. I didn’t think anyone who could actually walk upright and operate a keyboard could spout drivel like that, unless perhaps **Leo** has been hitting the Manischewitz martinis pretty hard tonight.

**Musicat** is trolling the [#WhyIDidntReport thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=862688), defending Kavinaugh despite him not being the subject (and multiple people telling them\* this), and actually saying that people explaining “why I didn’t report” aren’t actually relevant to the thread. Then they\* are trying to gaslight about what they actually did.

Did I miss them\* posting like this before? I tend to have the rape apologists on ignore, since their apologetics just makes my blood boil. I can’t imagine what it’s like for the actual victims.

\*Oh, who am I kidding? It’s “he”/“him.”

We don’t hear from this one very often:

Dang! We’ve been unmasked with that astute analysis! We may as well admit it’s true. We all saw that Christine Ford’s testimony was all spittle-mouthed anger railing against Christians. Just like Ford, I hate religion, particularly Christianity and Christian values in particular, particularly, with a particular kind of hate. As soon as I found out that Kavanaugh was Roman Catholic, as a godless cultural leftist I hated him immediately. I said to myself: self, I said, I am SO against this guy!

Why, you Demonrat, you.

Also, what baseless allegations against Kavanaugh’s _family_ is he going on about?
