Omnibus Trolls R Us Thread

It’s a challenge to rate his stupidity in comparison to the venerable village idiot Urbanredneck, whose lunatic rantings are by now the stuff of legend. Over here he pontificates on the subject of college tuition. I have not had the privilege of being treated to his wisdom in earlier posts in that thread, and I think I’ll keep it that way. But I just happened to see that latest one. The idea being advanced here is that studying the humanities in university is a waste of time and money, because that’s what movies and museums are for. Watch a movie on Friday, go to a museum on Saturday, and your edumacation in the humanities is complete.

What universities need to do – I think I remember this from earlier Urbanredneck pontifications – is impart real knowledge, like welding and plumbing. This is the purpose of higher education. I’m pretty sure that it was Urbanredneck who once formulated the brilliant philosophical conundrum that still has our deepest thinkers completely stymied, namely, what would the president of Harvard do if, say, he took a really big dump and his toilet got blocked? Clearly the man is useless, and doesn’t hold a candle to the societal value of the Roto-Rooter guy.

I think Mr Regards has finally snapped.

It was bound to happen eventually. The pressure of having to come up with a post hoc rationalisation every time a black person was killed by the police or died in custody must have gotten to him.

Newbie schools us on the health consequences when an ice cream molecule bonds to a tea molecule.

Well, he is the Superior One. And he got schooled himself by a mod, so perhaps he will straighten up and actually contribute. Or flee in terror.

Hey, I obviously searched Google for some ridiculous reasons and came up with this stupid website. I’m going to waste my time signing up just to complain about signing up and make a confusing post to a 20 yr old post.

I remember the mention of the tea/ice cream/oxalic acid thing on E/R. Always wondered about that.

But yeah, Mr Snarkmeister Noob Esq. there needs to dial down the attitude several notches.

If I’da been the mod, I’d’ve replied with something in the vein of, “We require a sign-up to keep the riff-raff out. This is not always successful.”

but at least we are not nchan

I regret the closing of the thread. We haven’t had a decent troll in ages. :frowning:

We haven’t had a decent new troll in ages.

Sometimes the old ones keep coming back. In this case, I think because Asimovian quit.

Not so much trolls, as intrepid spammers.

Lawnestran, John515 and
Oleuminna

Each has a low postcount.

First hit from the tag-team was John515, reported here by running coach for link spam, although it seems the link was removed.

Then **Lawnestran **posted his fervent desire for pretty girls, to which **John515 **replied"Reported" - I assume in an attempt to dissuade anyone else from reporting it.

And in the same thread, our man **Oleuminna **has an answer: a link to a brothel (I’m assuming, I didn’t click the link).

This is impressive tag-team work!

All gone now.

Looks like we have a new one: Malaclypse.

He started out pleasant enough but very quickly went down the “extreme stereotype of the Daily Mail reader” rabbit hole.

A few winners from that same thread:

Note the use of “indigenous”.

Note the use of “Barack Hussein”.

You can pretty much take the rest as read. But thus far he’s following the rules, technically, despite a reference to the

and calling John Bercow a “poison dwarf” in the original German.

He’s a nasty piece of work. My immediate thought is “sock”. Who was the person who eventually got tossed off the board over British politics a few years ago?

Yup. Came here to post that little “breed like rabbits” turd. He’s not even trying to hide his racism anymore. “Dog whistle? Nah. Gimme a bullhorn!”

We’ve had a few of them. A few different user names, anyway.

Old timer poster Pjen got tossed over Scottish politics as I recall. But she definitely wasn’t this sort.

Pjen is who I was thinking of.
