I know I’ll regret asking, but was there a particular straw or set of straws that broke the camel’s back with regard to **SA**? Or was this just something building for a long time?

My memory sucks so I can only paraphrase. **SA** said something to the effect of [WRT Dr. Ford being abducted from a hallway and pinned to the bed]: “That sort of thing would have been brushed off back in my day. This is no big deal”

**Bone** stepped in and told he was disgusting and immediately suspended him.

He said things like that repeatedly. His schtick overall was, “In my day, women just accepted this sort of thing and they were happy. Women today have been brain-washed into victimhood. Men will be men and women would be happier if they just let them.” Something lovely to that effect, repeated ad nauseum.

I would be keeping an eye on a new poster who has only two posts, the second of which was a dry turd dropped into the Clusterfuck thread about how we should all go have a nice barbecue instead of wasting our time pointlessly talking about politics. The poster’s name, sanusence, could sound like a quick verbalization of “it’s a nuisance”. I suspect a trock getting ready to ramp up.

Yep. And don’t read the papertowel tube thread. It’s bad, bad, bad. You’ll need brain bleach afterwards.

Link?

Also, a quick shout out to **UserAmericans** , currently enjoying a 3-day suspension after earning 3 warnings on [this page](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=861606&page=123) of the Brett Kavanaugh thread. Trolling and trolling hard. I suspect he’ll come back and get banned immediately.

Looks fairly innocuous, and _everyone_ paid it no heed, but when you add it to the “authoritative” other post on investing in silver, I see a poster with a great potential for jerkishness or worse.

> Silver is not acting as a store of wealth at the moment. It’s positively correlated (but not perfectly positively) to the stock market right now, so when the stock market goes up silver goes up and vice versa. It’s because it’s acting more as an industrial metal at the moment due to its use in electronics, specifically phones. Whatever you think the market is going to do right now is what silver going to do. Something will need to happen to cause it to start acting as a store of wealth.

Yeah, the guy’s _such_ a troll. I’m surprised he’s not been banned already.

I just thought that that turd he just casually dropped into the Clusterfuck thread was beyond pointless. Why do that? He is going to go away for a year or two and abruptly start crapping all over the place. Just wait.

Oh, I’m with you! I’ve reported him twice for participating, and I think he deserves at least a mod note for holding opinions.

Oh, I was there live for that little discussion. It remains one of the weirdest genital-themed posts on this board since the discussions of the Tug Ahoy nearly two decades ago.

And if you really want to know what _that_ was about (spoilered because ew):

it was a device designed to “reverse circumcision”, for those men who felt that they had been unfairly mutilated as infants. How it actually works doesn’t bear thinking about.

You missed the opportunity to say

You should forbear thinking about how it actually works.
