**edwardcoast** reveals himself as a hitherto low-key, low-grade fuckwit who has not been sufficiently noticed and celebrated up til now. [Over here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=824521) he asks for advice about a throw rug that “omits no odors”. Aside from the mild unintended humor this would hardly be worth mentioning, but he caught my attention when he took great offense to being semi-humorously corrected and broke board rules [by announcing that he was putting the other poster on ignore](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20155211&postcount=5) for this appalling treachery. This prompted me to take a closer look. It appears that this fuckwit is a marginal illiterate. In the OP the first paragraph begins and ends with the same sentence, which is kind of poetic if redundant. In the third paragraph we are informed that he wants this throw rug to cover his chair and his desk, which is his prerogative I suppose, though most of us would opt to put it on the floor. I note in particular that a significant portion of the posts he hammers out are badly written thread starts seeking free advice about things he is ignorant about, which seems to be almost everything, including how many “grahms” something weighs. All I’m trying to say here is that if one is as ignorant and incapable of coherent writing as **edwardcoast** , it’s probably best to not also be an arrogant asshole; otherwise, one risks being seriously annoying. ---
