Poisoned Guy seems to be making a go of it, offering up [this thread,](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21103183#post21103183) revealing the vast, far-reaching conspiracy involving evil, family-inheritance-swindling doctors (and possibly the local waitresses) who are all in on it to poison the OP (over the course of _many years_), and then follows shit up with this [helpful info-thread,](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=878148) stealthily moving in for the sales kill. ---

You are definitely anti-science with your view of IQ testing: “Nevermind, I forget that some on your side of the aisle don’t like IQ tests because they are unfair in some magical sense”. You think those who do not accept your view of IQ tests are into “magic” instead of basing our stance on science. ---

I’m not sure it’s appropriate to use “troll” in reference to suspected Russian-influenced posters. How about “[gremlin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKsNenRxFsM)”? 🙂 ---

You are definitely anti-science with your view of IQ testing: “Nevermind, I forget that some on your side of the aisle don’t like IQ tests because they are unfair in some magical sense”. You think those who do not accept your view of IQ tests are into “magic” instead of basing our stance on science. No lie. Perhaps I could have phrased it better. Instead of being a reliable measure for intelligence or a tool to give a nice general idea about someones mental fortitude. A study came out saying “No, it’s not accurate, there are many different types of intelligence for many different people”. Yeah, no shit. How do we find a measurement that works. When some other study (I think it was in 2012, I don’t remember off hand) tried to prove it to be inefficient it was loaded. Loaded with weasel words. “IQ testing is SOMEWHAT misleading” “may or may not be” " Can vary with individuals" and so on. Total garbage. A study or two is not incontrovertible proof that something does or doesn’t work. The hypothesis and theories worked, IQ testing works. Testing a hypothesis and theory and getting continuous similar results = Science. You do not like IQ testing because you put stock in those studies, and it doesn’t fit your PC magical thinking that absolutely every single creature is created perfectly the same. ---

> [@anomalous1](#): > > Just Opinion. Thanks. No, no, not really. I very rarely bother looking at any of your posts, since I long ago formed the impression that you were a far-right blithering imbecile. But I just checked a few now to make sure. Yep: You definitely have a lot of opinions, and for some reason, [they’re always wrong](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21732616&postcount=25). Ah, [a Trumpist, I see](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21731543&postcount=110). No surprise there, though “achieved my vote” is one of the strangest turns of phrase I’ve seen in a while – obviously a bad transliteration from the Russian. Surely the Kremlin can do better. The beauty of America, now that Trump has made it Great Again, is that [you can believe any shit you want, and truth has nothing to do with it](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21725856&postcount=74). Also, that you can beat the shit out of anyone you don’t like. More about [beating the shit out of everyone](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21725687&postcount=49), in case anyone missed it the first time. The great thing about Trump is that [he’s a shithead like you](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21725762&postcount=64). Your opinions are just as good as anyone else’s, as long as you don’t consider things like, you know, [cites and facts and shit like that](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21725725&postcount=56). Take away cites and facts and you do just great! 😃 Sorry, that’s all I had time for. I’m sure there are hundreds more. Like I said, far-right blithering imbecile, and total asshole. ---

Here’s another one of the same ilk: > [@Why not just dispense with gendered language/pronouns in English?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-not-just-dispense-with-gendered-language-pronouns-in-english/836456/91): > > When people suggest these kings of absurdities, I just wonder what kind of weird ass bubble they’re living in. No, nobody asks anyone else for “their pronouns”. That’s a fake liberal meme. No, nobody thinks transgenderism is a topic worth discussion. No, nobody has a problem with the English language as it is today. No, nobody has an issue with identifying their gender by the pronouns used to address themselves. > > It’s just weird, crazy, liberal pearl clutching to think there’s any problem with “he” or “she”. > > Hey, here’s a plan: how about if the person we’re referring to is a man or boy, we say “he,” but if it’s a girl or woman, we say “she”? Could it possible, maybe, perhaps, work? It just might! Wrongness and assholery among Trumpists is like a cockroach infestation: if they’re wrong and ignorant and being assholes about one thing, they’re probably wrong and ignorant and being assholes about thousands of things – pretty much everything, really. It’s rare that someone is astoundingly ignorant about one thing and generally rational about everything else. ---
