I have a dream that his recently reopened rambling witnessing thread will die with no responses. Sadly, I’m sure someone will be unable to resist the temptation. Thank god we have noble souls like mordecai to help improve the quality of the board by fighting to allow crap like that. ---

Are those the ones that the ear doctor warned me to protect in my battle against tinnitus? He did a wild test that proved how “hearful” the back of my head was. ---

I’m ashamed to say that I forgot how horrible some of JB’s threads have been until that ATMB reminded me. Fuck Jim for being a twatwaffle of the highest order. With any luck, this latest nonsense will see him banned for trolling and general dickishness. ---

I’m all for us being better off without the guy, but do it because he’s a troll, not because his witnessing thread was rambling. They’re _all_ like that. Or were, we don’t have them all that often anymore. ---

I don’t mind Jim\_B as much as some here. But I can’t help noticing that at a time when he’s under moderator scrutiny **and** has an active Pit thread against him, he seems to be amping up the posting. For a poster under increasing suspicion of being a troll, if he’s not a troll this would be a logical time to lay low. ---

> [@Briny\_Deep](#): > > But I can’t help noticing that at a time when he’s under moderator scrutiny **and** has an active Pit thread against him, he seems to be amping up the posting. OTOH, he didn’t ever weigh in on the ATMB thread about the locking of his thread about the “living saint,” and it doesn’t seem like he comes into this pitting thread. Regardless of his motives, he seems to just blithely go about posting his weird OP threads. ---
