Omnibus Trolls R Us Thread

Fair enough. I’ll be less oblique in the future. Speaking of which, it appears that SamuelA has socked himself, as Vinyasi.

Sample quote:

There are a bajillion quotes to pick from on that thread, but this one tickled my fancy.

Credit to Cochrane for noticing, with assist from Morgenstern.

Some socks are clever and cover their tracks. Others not so clever. In Sammy’s case his writing style is so unique, almost DNA unique, that his cover is blown as soon as he posts.

I don’t need a bajillion quotes. I need a few specific matches, not general similarities in subject matter.

My interchange with Morgenstern had to do with him gratuitously insulting naita, comparing that poster’s logic with SamuelA’s troll-type logic. By inference, insulting naita for not having the same depth of understanding of troll etc. behavior as he himself does. With that background, I think your characterization of threadshitting is an exaggeration. I am not, in fact, interested in the use that you, as a moderator, make of this thread. This thread may or may not be useful to you, but it was not made for that purpose.

Add clueless to neurotic little twit and you get a clueless neurotic little twit.

I’ll bet you’ll never make SamuelA ignore list.

Best to PM me if you have them rather than posting them here.

I’ve been working with the understanding that “femme” rhymes with “bomb.”

Is that an alternative pronunciation I’m not familiar with?

I always think, like, Violent Femmes.

Yeah, or like “femme fatale”.

If it’s badly pronounced in French, it could sound vaguely like the British pronunciation of bomb. But femme and bomb don’t rhyme in American English.

What fun is that? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve given trocks the benefit of the doubt publicly and then they end up PMing me. Then I wise up, forward to a mod, and they get banned. It’s happened a couple times. It’s quite satisfying!

Shaggy is bumping his thread again. Pathetic attention seeking creature needs ignored.

For one thing, I’m pretty naive. Call it a character flaw. It usually takes me a while to catch on to someone pulling one over. I have some embarrassing stories about this.

He may not, strictly speaking, be a troll, but Quartz definitely qualifies as a tool:

I don’t know why these assholes just have to go way out of their way to bear false witness and completely evade the main point in question (that the crucial ballot should have been tossed due to illegibility, much less that she was being any sort of “sore loser” in the video), but they do it again, and again, and again.

Maybe we need a separate omnibus thread for tools and jerks…

Possibly the “Blindly Partisan” or “Kool-Aid Addict” thread?

But it’s working! Major updates from the track …

Shagnasty “Misogynistic Prick” is surging far ahead in his pitting thread with 1314 posts. His jockey has him well on the bridle and the gelding Misogynistic Prick is trotting home to a sure win.

SamuelA “Bloviating Moron” was doing well at 630 posts until he sprained a fetlock and had to be led limping off the track, dashing the hopes of those who had bet on Bloviating Moron to place or show. Rumor has it that Bloviating Moron’s racing career is finished and he will be put out to pasture, or possibly the cornfield.

Urbanredneck “Trifecta of Ignorance” at 76 posts has hardly moved. Trifecta of Ignorance periodically ambles over to the side of the track at a walking gait and goes to sleep, rendering further participation in this race hopeless.

Those with bets on Misogynistic Prick to win, place, or show appear to be well positioned to collect handsomely, as the odds never had him as a favorite.

No one would know where to put a post. Is he a jerk or a troll? I don’t think it would work.

New posters go in troll until proven otherwise. Established posters go in jerk/tool.
Though I can think of a few that could be both/either.

I laughed twice!
