“Unwittingly.”
Original meaning?
I am criticizing - and why not it is the fucking Pit and why not waste some time - the stupid idiocy of a certain set of the left posters here who rush into this thread to whine about some right wing person being a Troll just because they have made some post that these crybabies find annoying or irritating.
It is very much like the stupid complaining about bias that certain of the right wing posters love to do here.
it is a stupid whiny habit and worth a moment every nine months to mock it.
I did not defend Adaher at all idiot. I only said applying the word troll to him was stupid and not warrented. I made no defense at all of him.
And I didn’t call him a troll, moron.
If someone is forcing you to come here and read anything, then I suggest you call your local authorities and report the same. If you’re reading here without such coercion, then you’re the problem, not the thread. If you’re pissed because our troll game isn’t according to Hoyle, then that’s just really too effing bad.
ETA, as the Chinese say; “mei ban fa.”
If someone is forcing you to read and reply to my little time wasting in this thread, then I suggest you in fact call your authorities…
otherwise it is fun to continue to point out how silly crybaby some of the accusations are
Is it time for recipes?
Careful, you’re painting yourself into that right-wing-snowflake corner.
That is not a difference of opinion. That is deliberately eliciting negative reactions for the purpose of entertaining himself, which is what trolls do.
Prior to that thread, he had started six in the Pit since 19 December 2016 and five of those turned against him. Putting that in the pit rather than IMHO is either monumentally stupid or he wanted it to backfire.
Holy Crap, dougie_monty sure had a quick meltdown and got banned for his trouble. :eek:

I don’t mean this as an insult and I don’t actually know anything about him personally, but it makes me wonder if he was ‘off his meds’ at the time. :o That whole turn and his comments are a whole lot of WTF???
He should have known better than to go menacing legal action like that.
He had a few warnings in the past for threatening people after taking innocuous comments very personally. That latest outburst wasn’t his first mini-meltdown, it just unfortunately was the first where he pulled out the insta-ban legal threat.
Yeah, right? a 99er and 10k posts and poof!
And none too soon. After that, “How DARE you?”, I was expecting a challenge to pistols at dawn.
Funny isn’t it. Threatening to shoot someone will get you warned, but threaten to sue that person and it’s the death sentence for you.
It isn’t threatening to sue someone else.
Threatening legal action against the Straight Dope is an insta-ban.
Per ECG’s announcement in ATMB, threatening legal action of any kind will get you banned. It doesn’t have to be against the SD directly.
Ah, makes sense. You go around threatening to sue people on the board, it becomes problematic for the company that owns the board.
I still maintain that no functioning human could ever be as dumb as dougie portrayed himself to be. I’m not surprised that he was banned for something dumb. I think that was dougie’s goal. Although why he would want that is a mystery.
No, Dougie, whyyyyy?
Don’t you realize how much entertainment your quirks gave us? I can’t tell you how many nights, before hitting the sack, I’d check to see if you’d had another “misunderstanding”. I’m a titch ‘on the spectrum’, and you made me feel part of a whole crowd. Especially when you’d interpret a work of fiction as real life, and get furious at the characters for flouting authority in a movie (wasn’t it Marty McFly that you were mad at for skateboarding behind a truck because he was putting the stuntman’s life in danger?).
Ah, here it is – a whole thread of what you object to. Post 26 is an excellent view into your movie morality.
In fact, you’d been so good lately, only posting factual “GQ” questions, that I’d despaired of ever witnessing your epic frustrations again. SO sad that this one was your last… I’d take all my amusement back if only you were here again.
Miss you already, dougie…
That was a bizarre way for a long-time Doper to exit stage left. I wonder if that fifty-something ex-cute-kid dude out near Fresno will ever find out how his cousin sacrificed so much to preserve his (the Fresno guy’s) honor and dignity among a crowd who couldn’t give a fig one way or the other.
