EasyPhil seemed harmless. If someone wants to come in here and post Limbaugh talking points, I donā€™t see anything wrong with that. ---

No, he used the same title again. Quotation marks the second time, but the same words. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > Canā€™t fight ignorance if ignorance never shows up. The point is that bullshitters are of the opinion that they can just heap the meadow muffins higher, and no matter how well we destroy their bullshit, they keep bringing it back. Keep repeating it until we are exhausted from trying to shovel it away and no one is left with the energy to try to refute it. If they fail to duly admit defeat, they need to fuck the fuck off. ---

I confess: I have my doubts about [this new poster](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=889185). Reason: the situation described seems unbelievably bad. I chose my words with intent ā€“ itā€™s just unbelievable without some corroboration somewhere. Anything is possible I guess, and I could be wrong, but I hope Iā€™m not, because no-one in the real world should be living in that situation. ---
