**Max** who the fuck cares what **Crane** says? You’re the dumbshit who started that thread to JAQ off. **Ann\_Hedonia** is too kind. You’re trolling. (To be clear, who the fuck cares what Crane says in the context of this thread. Crane is awful.) ---

The first time I read any posts by Max, I immediately got the vibe of the poster Curtis Lemay/Qin\_[whatever], another poster who thought they were a lot smarter than they actually are. I was amazed to find out that he’s supposedly a 20-something with a job and not a teenager with limited life/social experience. The arguments Max is currently making the ATMB thread about the term “queer” are amazing bad and he just won’t SHUT UP. ---

> [@JeffB](#): > > The first time I read any posts by Max, I immediately got the vibe of the poster Curtis Lemay/Qin\_[whatever], Same, but **Qin Shi Huangdi** eventually matured in their time here, as far as I noticed. **Max** has shown zero signs of that, even though he’s starting from a later age. ---

> [@Max\_S](#): > > How is that even remotely trolling? > > ~Max Explain to me, in detail, how your post qualifies fully as ‘Sealioning’. Five pages, double-spaced, indent your paragraphs, and both spelling and grammar count. ( Hey, Normal posters here: am I allowed to call this guy a Jerk? I know there have been an awful lot of rule changes and things, but I’m not sure if that’s too strong a term to use given his ‘tender sensibilities’. I wouldn’t want to accidently send him running back to Momma like he’d been whacked with The Wooden Spoon.) ---

Everybody disagrees with me, but rather than try to learn something from the experience I’ll desperately try to get one _important_ person to agree with me. That’ll show them. ---

No idea why I don’t have him on ignore considering he’s the only poster on the entire board whose posts I just immediately scroll past. ---

When you need to say, “if it’s against the rules to be racist, i shouldn’t say this stuff”, you might want to step back and think, “hey, maybe there’s something bad or wrong about what i want to say.” ---
