Bunch of bored busy bodies in this thread. It’s not hard to not read threads that aren’t interesting. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > octupus is still here? I’d’ve thought he’d be banned by now. No simple Monty, octopus isn’t banned and probably won’t ever be banned. I’ve never been banned from any board. Just because you have _terrible_ reading comprehension and believe nonsense doesn’t mean the mods do. Anyways, I’m surprised I’m occupying real estate in that head of yours. And why do I read this thread? It’s interesting to see how others think. I find the tut-tutting over supposed trolls counter productive and I wonder why those who believe certain posters are trolls reward them? If I think someone is a troll I just don’t respond. But here it’s almost like people can’t help themselves. ---

If don’t realize why a thread keeping track of trolls is useful when we can’t call them trolls in thread, then I don’t know what to tell ya. A troll is not a legitimate poster, and they post only to disrupt the rest of the board. You are an asshole, **octopus** , but I don’t think you’re a troll. However, your posts in this thread are getting trollish. If you aren’t interested in this thread, then follow your own advice. ---

However, your posts in this thread are getting trollish. If you aren’t interested in this thread, then follow your own advice. It’s the Pit. Don’t be silly. And I’d appreciate if you toned down that potty mouth a bit. I am interested in this thread. I think some of the irrational obsessions some posters here have about others is unhealthy. ---

“_You nearly are a troll_” put me in mind of a completely different song, _octopus, man, Ha ha, charâde you are, You sea born mad thing, Ha ha, charâde you are You radiate cold shafts of broken dicks You’re nearly a good laugh Almost a troll With your beak down in the sea muck Saying, keep on digging Big hole in the sea floor How do you hope to climb Out of the deep slime? You’re nearly a laugh You’re nearly a laugh But you’re really a cryyyy_ ---

So, now that Great White Dope has started his thread on abiogenics, anybody wondering if he is Calico Jack? He liked to make anti-evolution posts amidst his anti-liberal posts. (As an aside, I remembered a few posts CJ made but didn’t remember his username. While doing some key word googling to try to turn it up, I found [a post](https://kiwifarms.net/threads/straight-dope-bbq-pit-forum.27575/) he made about TSD on a different forum–apparently he can’t even get along with what seems to be a forum by trolls and for trolls.) ---

And now GWD is trying to prove…_something_…[by equating something he explicitly doesn’t believe (climate change) with something he explicitly does (religion)](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=825616)… Seriously, I have no idea how he thinks he’ll convince anyone to take his side with this method. ---

Some trolls are entertaining. **GWD** is simply annoying and rather idiotic to boot. ---

He doesn’t. He doesn’t have a “side”. I can readily believe that he’s a denizen of the alt-right, but no one could be stupid enough to believe the stuff he trolls about and still be able to walk upright or type on a keyboard. He is a classic troll whose sole purpose is to annoy, infest the board with total bullshit, and get well-meaning people to waste their time, thus disrupting the message board in the same manner as a virus. The board needs to ban him already, and soon, without waiting for sock-matching, because socking isn’t the main problem with this one. ---
