You say that… but you don’t really believe it. This sort of thread is an obsession for so many of you.

Safe target? You practically scream “Attack Meeee! Attack Meeee!” out of your desperate need for attention.

You’re like that one fucking mosquito buzzing around on a summer evening while I drink a beer on the porch. Aggravating, annoying, but inconsequential in the long run.

I dunno what you’re trying to link to, but are you pointing out that someone’s Sock’s back, and gave itself the name [socsback](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php)? Because goddammit, I just figured that out.

The link works fine for me on 3 different machines, one of which was my phone. I’m sorry it doesn’t work for you, but I’m pretty sure you can manage to find his posting history if you want to.

It doesn’t work for me. If you think someone is a sock, it would be far more useful to report it than being coy about it in the Pit.

I believe that posting history links expire, so there’s no point in linking to one, especially when you never provided the name of the person you were calling out.

I try not to provide the name in my post because many trolls search or their name and then show up to provide evidence in this thread.
