Hasn’t happened yet. That’s some seriously shitty moderating.

Agreed. At this point, it looks like the mod is giving him some gentle hints and tips on how to do things better.

It’s a neologism short for “child molester”, allegedly derived from prison slang.

As someone who has worked in a prison, I can speak to the term being used with great frequency there. Not sure if it originated there, but it’s well-known enough to not need an explanation when it’s used.

I’m hesitant to ask the moderating staff to reveal the red flags that inspire deeper probing into a poster’s _bona fides_, but I wonder if one of them is that they create a new account, then wait several months before they make their first post.

In the case of the Duke (who registered in February), his entire output consists of 21 posts, the first of which came less than three weeks ago (highly incendiary, followed by a mundane one within the hour; then 19 more just yesterday, many of them non-political and normal-looking).

Personally, I’m leaning _against_ sock, although that may reveal more about my own aptitude as a sock-hunter than anything else.

TIL 1) what a “chomo” is, and 2) that typing someone’s name into Google once constitutes obsessive stalking.

Don’t be ridiculous. I bet **octopus** could provide you with a whole list of examples of people engaging in that sort of behaviour, going back years.

Chomo is a gross term that attempts to conflate homosexuality with child molestation.

Never heard that before. It’s always been used as a derisive term for all sex offenders. I expect that definition exists only in your mind.

[Also a term for “Chinese homosexual”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chomo) according to Wiki.

One that happens to mirror another derisive term for gay people.

Aw, now we’ll never know whether he was a refugee \*from \*the Northeast, or taking refuge there.

I mean, unless he were to come back as a sock. Which of course will never happen.

Like a Highwayman, he’ll always be around, and around and around. What I mean is he’ll be back again, and again, and again. 😃

Some fairly obvious trolling from Tim R. Morris. His post has nothing at all to do with the thread topic, which is about the problems the Trump administration has had. He’s just delighting in being able to slip in an attack on Democrats in a thread where people had mentioned how bad Trump is.

I’ll be very honest–it’s really hard for me think the guy is legit in general, because normal people don’t act like he does. But, at the very least, this is some obvious trolling.
