In the “mistrusting government” thread, he is now positing that there is no white resentment of minority rights because West Virginia is a mostly white state and white boys are pulled over by police. I guess you had to be there. But he is indeed a fucking idiot. ---

He has found his way into the PC thread in IMHO, so god help us there. He’s using all his best lawyering arguing skills! Which is why being too PC leads to white people becoming radicalized and transphobic, or something – it’s a little hard to follow. ---

In the Supreme Court allowing Trump’s anti-trans executive order to proceed, **UV** contradicts himself right in the OP. Then, he doesn’t understand that he’s done that, so **Little Nemo** takes him to school: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21448048&postcount=16](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21448048&postcount=16) Ouch!

In the Prostitution thread, UV argues that experiencing good sex is a threat to the stability of marriages. Because wifey might be perceived as not as exciting as previous sex partners. He’s a dumb fuck even by West Virginia standards. ---

I disagree about **doorhinge**. I don’t think he’s as stupid as he appears – he’s just a disingenuous jerk who always argues in bad faith. Now, **Urbanredneck** , wow. I agree with you there. ---
