I prefer Hayes.
Rutherford B. was greatly underestimated as a president and as a mechanic.
Apparently Leaffan has a fanboi. [Alas, cornfielded now]
So the mods apparently solved the Leaffan troll mystery and closed the ATMB thread. I didn’t see any announcement though.
Not solved, but the thread was no longer serving a purpose other than giving the troll attention. ECG gave the reason in his last post.
I learned something today. I thought it to be spelled chiten. Thanks for the chortle.
Depends on whether you’re talking about the garment worn in Classical-Age Greece (chiton) or the substance that is found in the exoskeletons of some arthropods (chitin).
But yeah, chiten isn’t ever correct, not even for automotive repair manuals (Chilton). Not to be confused with cheese (Stilton).
True story: when I was about nine, I cane across the play title The Admirable Crichton, and assumed it was about a plucky trilobite.
I loved reading S.J. Perlman’s treatment of that story in one of his “Cloudcuckooland” essays.
I have to hand it to this guy. Whether he’s a troll or not, he’s managed to unite board members from across the political spectrum in telling him just how fucking stupid his proposal is.

Mustard on turkey sandwich? Cucking faggot doug!
Now Doug is getting some grief. Whoever Doug is. [Long time user Beware of Doug hasn’t logged in here in 2 weeks note]

LAZombie is a racist piece of shit who advances the white genocide hypothesis.
I know I’m still new here, but I wish this board had a rule whereby, once you advance certain hypotheses (such as white genocide or 9/11-trutherisms), you aren’t banned (because merely advancing a hypothesis sincerely is hardly an offense, I grant that), but instead are required to defend that hypothesis, remaining in that one thread, until such time as you either convince a board of moderators that your endorsement of that hypothesis is justified by good evidence, or until you admit you have failed to state your case.
LAZombie, for instance, would be relegated to the WTC-7 9/11 truther thread that he engaged in, and would not be allowed to post anywhere else until such time as he demonstrates that his truther hypothesis is well-founded (even if it’s only that he justifies his stated skepticism in the official report), or he admits his head is so far up his ass he can’t actually be bothered to read/view the “evidence” he’s offering up. Until then, he wouldn’t be free to go spouting off a bunch of other racist nonsense in other threads while it’s crickets as to his 9/11 truther claims.
I endorse this post. LAZombie is a cunt
Looks like SamuelA is suspended again.
I suspect SamuelA is going to be the token banning. “See, we’re doing something about misogyny and racism here at the Board!”
Meantime, the other usual suspects will continue on as normal. SamuelA was the most egregious, but certainly not the only.
Hey, “Barack Obama”, can you please pick a less embarrassing name? Especially when threads like that one show you’re not half as smart as your namesake? And it’s really jarring when you say stupid stuff about Biden, and I have to remember, “Wait, no, it’s just some ordinary schlub.”
Why is choosing a famous person’s name legal here… on a board devoted to fighting ignorance? Can someone show up as Adolf, or MLK or J.H. Christ?
(Look, if you really are Obama, I apologize, and do get that personality change looked at, could be a stroke).
Not surprising, he got two warnings at the same time today. And based on his posts in that thread, it appears he has no idea why those comments were inappropriate and therefore has no interest in changing. That’s not a good plan for staying on the mods’ good side.
ETA: and now I see all his threads in ATMB. Yeah, that makes the decision easy.
We’re not worthy!
