Pitting Max_S

You neglected to mention the sign on the lever, the one that reads Do Not Pull This Lever, Under Penalty Of Law.

I guess I also didn’t specify if the 5 people are Black.

Not only that, but there’s actually no one on the second track. It’s literally a choice between “Pull the lever with the sign on it that says ‘do not pull lever under penalty of law’ and no one will die, or do not pull the lever and five people die.”

There is also a small tornado passing by making a faint whooshing sound.

Oh, right. Well, you see, the sign in my head said “Do not read to the end under penalty of law…” and so naturally I was morally obliged to miss that part.

I’ve emphasized for your attention the part I give less than zero fucks about, since you seem under the delusion that I’m responding to Max’s words themselves.

And you’d been doing so well recently. But it seems the desire to pwn me overrode your recent burst of sense not to defend the indefensible.

So here you are, on the side of the seeming amoral racist. Feel good? Feel…familiar? Never met an apparent deplorable whose ass you wouldn’t kiss, did you, Putzy, old boy? Looks like he’s trolling you as much as anyone. He’s not the kind of scum you seem to think he is, mate. Just a regular troll.

It was after/during a previous thread I pretty much came to the same conclusion. I find that at times the subject will dig up useful facts, but anything besides those cited facts is pretty much useless.

Actually, I think that’s a great point. And the reason why I was previously reluctant to put them on ignore. Unlike zero value posters like Octo, who would only show up with recreational outrage and buzzwords, Max occasionally had factual information which was useful outside their editorializing. But this thread . . . well, I made an appeal to his humanity (I know, I was living in a dream world) back #253, asking him to step back and examine what he was saying, only to see him double, triple, quadruple down when he wasn’t dodging like a mad thing.

Cite?

I mean, dude is a 20-something, clearly under-educated drone, the only thing I can think he might shed light on is what it’s actually like to be Florida Man. I don’t recall him adding factual value to any thread I’ve read. But maybe we just frequent different threads…

He’s pretty articulate for Florida Man.

By that, I mean he says extremely stupid things very clearly with a good vocabulary.

Okay, let’s be clear that Max_S is ignored, and well earned, but again, I repeat, he does actually post content, unlike the be-hatted one. From just a few recentish threads -

When Max was willing to stick to factual information, without editorializing or before they showed the underlying lack of affect, they were able to provide useful information.

Hope that helps @MrDibble - and again, I’m not defending his entitled ass for anything he’s said in this thread or many others: just that he wasn’t a zero-value poster like some that can’t go 4 posts without a reference to ‘the hive-mind’.

And sometimes not even a return to slavery, as it was not uncommon for slave catchers to drag away any black person they could find.

Oh, you meant he’s good at Google, not that he is a subject matter expert. Sure, looks like he is that.

That’s actually easy.

“I saw someone out there, fired my gun, and they went running off that way.”

-snicker-

When I’m comparing someone favorably to -Octoputz-, do you really think I was going out of my way to say they’re of such value to the board that they should be excused for their abhorrent ideas based on that fact?

I’ve noticed that as well. But being a more constructive commenter than the fuchsia fascist isn’t exactly a high bar.

Depends, is there a lever that I can pull that will make it run into an orphanage?

OK - you did not have to go there. : shudders :

Don’t be just a non-thinking parrot with the copy and paste misnaming. Try, however hard it may be for one of your capabilities, to come up with something original.
