> [JBGUSA](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=875031) idiot, troll or both. Probably both. But his posts are always so incredibly dumb, it’s possible he holds down a day job and plays the village idiot for shits and giggles.

It’s a challenge to rate his stupidity in comparison to the venerable village idiot **Urbanredneck** , whose lunatic rantings are by now the stuff of legend. [Over here](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21626574&postcount=309) he pontificates on the subject of college tuition. I have not had the privilege of being treated to his wisdom in earlier posts in that thread, and I think I’ll keep it that way. But I just happened to see that latest one. The idea being advanced here is that studying the humanities in university is a waste of time and money, because that’s what movies and museums are for. Watch a movie on Friday, go to a museum on Saturday, and your edumacation in the humanities is complete.

What universities need to do – I think I remember this from earlier **Urbanredneck** pontifications – is impart real knowledge, like welding and plumbing. This is the purpose of higher education. I’m pretty sure that it was **Urbanredneck** who once formulated the brilliant philosophical conundrum that still has our deepest thinkers completely stymied, namely, what would the president of Harvard do if, say, he took a really big dump and his toilet got blocked? Clearly the man is useless, and doesn’t hold a candle to the societal value of the Roto-Rooter guy.

[I think Mr Regards has finally snapped](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21629387&postcount=1447).

It was bound to happen eventually. The pressure of having to come up with a post hoc rationalisation every time a black person was killed by the police or died in custody must have gotten to him.

Well, he is the Superior One. And he got schooled himself by a mod, so perhaps he will straighten up and actually contribute. Or flee in terror.

Hey, I obviously searched Google for some ridiculous reasons and came up with this stupid website. I’m going to waste my time signing up just to complain about signing up and make a confusing post to a 20 yr old post.

I remember the mention of the tea/ice cream/oxalic acid thing on E/R. Always wondered about that.

But yeah, Mr Snarkmeister Noob Esq. there needs to dial down the attitude several notches.

Sometimes the old ones [keep coming back](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=875446). In this case, I think because **Asimovian** quit.

Not so much trolls, as intrepid spammers.

[Lawnestran](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php), [John515](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php) and  
[Oleuminna](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php)

Each has a low postcount.

First hit from the tag-team was **John515** , reported [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=538187&page=3) by **running coach** for link spam, although it seems the link was removed.

Then \*\*Lawnestran \*\*[posted his fervent desire for pretty girls](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21653959#post21653959), to which \*\*John515 \*\*[replied](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21653959&postcount=5)"Reported" - I assume in an attempt to dissuade anyone else from reporting it.

And in the same thread, our man \*\*Oleuminna \*\*[has an answer](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21654001&postcount=6): a link to a brothel (I’m assuming, I didn’t click the link).

This is impressive tag-team work!

He started out pleasant enough but very quickly went down the “extreme stereotype of the Daily Mail reader” rabbit hole.

A few winners from that same thread:

You can pretty much take the rest as read. But thus far he’s following the rules, technically, despite a reference to the
