> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > Hmmm… I thought this thread was to clear the non-troll crap out of the OTRU thread, not go actively hunting for posters to taunt. Got my wires crossed. However anyone found the crap they brought to OTRU works fine for this thread too. Going out and finding it is basically done by just reading the boards as usual. I urge active hunting only after 2 pages of general chit chat that, as our cranky friend upthread noted might as well be in MPSIMS. > [@Green\_Bean](#): > > Do I get credit for at least trying? Your snark was excellent in that it snarks another poster while using their own post to illustrate irony. What they posted could have actually been said to them! Outstanding. But we don’t start irony on the first day, we build to that. ---

Advocating forced unwanted dietary choices on recipients of food aid isn’t a belief system. It’s just trolling. The troll thread is down the hall to the left. This is the fuckwit thread. You qualify, but trolling supersedes fuckwittery. ---

This is the fuckwit thread. You qualify, but trolling supersedes fuckwittery. Invalid. Yes, it is a belief system or a conviction, like most things in life, some have different opinions. It is only ‘trolling’ because you disagree with the sentiment and ideals behind it, that is all there is to it. I actually do value that you have a differing opinion, there is no winning or losing in discourse, only opinions and shaping of others, although difficult, even the attempt is worthwhile. Have a pleasant evening either way. ---

He aspires to having an omnibus thread devoted to him one day. But as a troll he’s really pretty boring. Fuckwit is his strong suit but he led with the trolling. It’s pretty cool that this thread can find its own fuckwits though. It’s like having room service bring the snark to you. ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > Honestly, if he did, I think you’d be in way over your head. Anyway, carry on. Not worried about it. It’ll just be others telling me my opinions are incorrect and theirs are correct. Pretty much. **Crazyhorse** Not an aspiration, just expected. It will happen once enough groupthinkers decide they’ve had enough with my ‘dissent’ from the ranks. Cheers. ---

Well some of the stuff you were saying in that thread could be construed as trolling. It could be dissenting too, I suppose. ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > Well some of the stuff you were saying in that thread could be construed as trolling. It could be dissenting too, I suppose. When viewing it from another’s POV or perspective, I can see that. But I really am not trolling, I just have differing opinions and when I compound them with what I imagine as poor delivery/not phrasing it better, it can come off that way. That doesn’t include flinging insults back though, I don’t know what that would be called. Cheers! ---

> [@anomalous1](#): > > It will happen once enough groupthinkers decide they’ve had enough with my ‘dissent’ from the ranks. Well there’s an attitude that lends itself to self-martyrdom and feelings of oppression. Why do you believe that people you ‘dissent’ from are groupthinkers? Are we/they not allowed to have their own opinions that happen to coincide with others? ---

[Here](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20791021&postcount=42) you go, courtesy of our resident cranky troll. According to **jtur** , these are the tools a real man needs. That’s right it’s a “coat hanger, the vice grip and the duct tape.” This ranks up there with never needing a band aid due to his cat-like reflexes or whatever that was. :rolleyes: ---

So–even when you take into account his self-proclaimed autism, and the fact that English isn’t his first language, and that he’s 16 years old–does anyone else get the impression that Lucanio700 is really,\* really\* stupid? ---

Against popular opinion I’m still calling that one a troll. Anyone can link to an internet photo of a teenage neckbeard but that simple act seems to have convinced almost everyone here that he’s the guy in the photo. If he is a troll he is one of the truly degenerate and sad ones. If he isn’t, well, even still. ---

As has been pointed out to him and about him on multiple occasions, the man/child/whatever cannot focus on anything long enough to stay on topic or even answer very direct questions aimed at him. This makes him singularly unsuited for conversation on this board or any other. The fact that he makes note of ruining his reputation on more than one board should be a big clue to him to stop and do a little bit of self-examination. Otherwise his long term future is as the rambling homeless guy out in front of the post office. ---

That is all, now I do realize history does repeat itself in the case of social changes. Compare that to the transgender scandal/movement going on. I am not saying transgenders are immoral, and I could care less if people wanted more gender divergence. But it does cause a bit of confusion. ---
