A moderator just came down hard on **urbanredneck2** for that bullshit thread about school days, and even gave him a warning (and changed the thread title to show that the premise was false). I go back and forth on whether UR2 is trolling or just an idiot. I think he’s an idiot with terrible news sources, but he could be trolling, I suppose. ---

> [@RitterSport](#): > > I think he’s an idiot with terrible news sources, but he could be trolling, I suppose. Definitely trolling. He brings up the same bullshit topics on a regular basis and ignores all evidence to the contrary, then brings them up yet again as if nothing had happened. He’s been desperately threadshitting lately as well. He may also be an idiot, but he clearly knows perfectly well what he’s doing. ---

I suppose his reference to the bullshit Walk Away “movement” is pretty indicative. I’d like to think that if my news sources were constantly shown to be lying, I’d find better ones. ---

I still want to know where he saw this article linked. Someone has dug this article up, as a particularly pathetic bit of opposition research (_psst, the election’s over!)_, and I’d love to know who. ---

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but Urbanredneck first came to my attention as something special when he made a relatively factual post some years ago, about being in a Walmart around Christmas time and encountering a Muslim couple in the checkout line. I have no reason to doubt that this was factual, as Muslim couples do exist in the US, and I imagine they must go shopping from time to time. But what struck me was his comment (paraphrasing loosely, because I don’t remember the exact words and it’s not worth the bother of searching) which was basically, “how long do we have to put up with this shit?”. This was apparently triggered by the sight of this Muslim couple, with the woman in a traditional hijab. It apparently completely ruined his day. ---

> [@Are Americans losing it with Muslims?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-americans-losing-it-with-muslims/741553/1): > > The other day while Christmas shopping at WalMart a Muslim couple was there. The husband was dressed fairly normal but the wife had the full length black outfit and had her head covered and her face partially covered. They got more than a few stares and they was many an angry look. Americans have been told to be tolerant but I think our tolerance is coming to an end. Trump may have been a little extreme but he isnt far off either. What do you all think? ---

Way back in 1980, all the cognoscenti of the fourth grade at McDowell Grade School in Hudson, Ohio - Reagan Republicans to a man - knew that if Jimmy Carter won a second term, we’d have to go to school on Saturday, and those who got in trouble there would be sent to labor on his peanut farm. That’s exactly what @urbanredneck2’s post sounds like. Which raises the question whether @urbanredneck2 has the critical thinking skills of a fourth-grader. ---

Yeah, if there was any evidence of trolling, that would be it for me. Or, he might say, “your right, if their was evidence…” ---

Sorry, ewe misspelled “wood”, “halve”, “too”, “two”, “bee”, “thyme”, “know”. Hear it is corrected: “Your correct. He wood halve too over-write autocorrect two bee wrong every single thyme. As Gertrude Stein wood say, they’re is know their, thare.” Also, English is fucked up.
