That was quite a thing. Someone clearly on the non-circ side of the argument. Hmmmm… Is it just me, or are we in a really sock-y season?
Was that the one about being gassed in his hotel room? I vaguely recall someone ages ago claiming this had happened to them and that they couldn’t possibly have just fallen asleep from severe jetlag. Or was this a different idiot?
Did you read that nonsense dated 30 April? “Deserve to be gay”? Wow.
femmejean at it again: At what point does anal sex with a taller woman become impossible?
Did anyone suggest an experiment involving paper towel tubes?
Predictably, yes.
Great White Dope is an obvious troll that, hopefully, will be banned soon.
Wow. Wall o’stupid.
Would have been more palatable if it was trimmed back a bit.
That’s what she said.
Why? Why is he still here? :smack:
At what point does a troll get banned from this site?
Why do people whip themselves into a frenzy over the existence of trolls? I am quite certain that if they get rid of this one, nine more will pop up in it’s place. It’s worse than whack-a-mole, it’s a labor of Hercules. You will never have a pristine, troll-less board, so leave the mods to do their jobs and just ignore the SOBs in the meantime.
This thread is, on the whole, entertaining and informative within its scope, so it’s not that I’m against informing folks of probable trollery. I just don’t get the extra steam coming out of some folks’ ears.
I disagree that the rate of new trolls entering this site is correlated in any way with the banning of existing trolls. New trolls come and go, irrespective of the existence of other trolls already posting on this site. It’s not like trolls page through the forums here in order to figure out if the “troll niche” is already filled.
i must have a different definition of troll. to me a troll is someone who deliberately posts controversial or offensive viewpoints for the express purpose of pissing others off. or purposefully antagonizes someone by missing the point, or twisting words, or being devils advocate unnecessarily.
to me posters like femmejean and Charlie Wayne (from what little i’ve read of him) while annoying, dont seem to rise to the level of troll.
immaturity is not trollery, imho.

It depends on whether you think femmejean is being authentic in his immaturity or just posting to get a rise (heh) out of his audience. I believe he is just posting for the reaction, not out of any legitimate need to know the mechanics of anal sex between those of differing heights. YMMV
Context is everything. I did not mean to imply that there was a causal relationship between banned trolls and new trolls. My apologies if my brief foray into hyperbole was unclear.

This thread veered out of GQ territory almost from the beginning. I think it’s gone far enough. Thread closed.

Great White Dope is living up to his user name. Multiple Pit threads based on stories he picked up from InfoWars and this gem on the creation of life from GD.
