I was afraid he might be back with some new totally crackpot theory, but it’s OK. He just needed to explain to us that the Hubble red shift is just an artifact that scientists have been too stupid to understand, and the universe is actually not expanding at all. 
I wonder if he owns an actual wooden soapbox or crate that he stands on at street corners and annoys passers-by until the police shoo him away.
But who is Hilter?
I donno, but I always almost reverse a certain pair of the letters.
I always parsed it as “Mantra Philter” – not that that makes any more sense.
I have not yet figured out what sort of love potion is embodied in a mantra philter.
Does he love mantras? Is he selling mantras as philters? Does he think that reciting mantras will act on another person as a philter? (And what unfortunate individual is the target of his mantras?)
In the Dred Scott thread, I see that DonDraper posted at 2:08am and is shown as Banned. Anyone know why and/or can point me at that last straw?
Man trap filter is the kind of mental filter you use to prevent the man from being trapped.
On further examination, recent join date with only 3 non-controversial posts would seem to point to Socking.
Wow. Major light-bulb-over-head moment here. Thank you.
I always parsed that goof’s name as “Mantra Philter” as well. To the point that I didn’t recognize Darren’s alternate parsing as even being the guy’s name. I though Darren was referencing some side topic buried in one of that guy’s threads. :smack:
Darren I owe you and your typing an apology. I totally bone-headed that one. :smack:
Mantra Philter and Man Trap Hilter: Even more mysterious than he already seems.
It looks like several old favorites are back.
Yes, machinaforce is back, joining the Mantra Hilter thing to provide rousing entertainment for all. 
We also just had several zombie revivals that weren’t trollish so much as misguided and pointless. I wonder why/how this comes in waves?
Just now closed, but no warning issued. Go figure.
I guess the rhetorical question of the moment was “why should this thread live?”, and the answer was, it shouldn’t. 30 minutes it lasted. Machinaforce may soon be spending some quality time with Reddy Mercury.
If life is optional then why live?
REVENGE!
Another thread Gowdinised…
But Bone did say his posting privileges would be under discussion if he kept making threads like that.
Exactly. At the risk of straying into ATMB territory, wouldn’t you think an infraction that deserved that type of admonishment would get a warning?
Reddy Mercury just came back with a new sock, now cornfielded. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to paste his post here, but he was basically asking for a second chance.
He already had a second chance. And a third, and a fourth…
Worst. Jr. Mod. Evah.
