I just wanted to share the struggle with all of you. Same here. Although that guy is following the standard RWNJ path at the moment so the odds of a banning within the next two weeks are pretty good. He’s already launched at least one “everyone who disagrees with me is a Muslim Communist Obama-lover who gets their views from the extremist left-wing media” thread, which is never a good start. This is usually followed by a doubling-down in the wrong fora, a few warnings, claims of persecution by the Mods and that we can’t handle opposing views, a spectacular flame-out and the fall of the banhammer. ---

All you’d be doing by responding to him is tattooing a sign on your forehead saying “I am a very gullible easily manipulated person. Please contact me about Florida swampland and trapped Nigerian funds.” The mods here are slow, but they’ll figure it out eventually. ---

I also struggled mightily to not respond to that post. I also struggled mightily to not report it. I am having fun following along on the Syrian refugee thread he started. He so clearly gets every piece of information from Fox. He was complaining that everyone was mean to him and no one agreed with poor widdle him. **Adaher** (!) was giving him advice on how to post here. it’s pure gold. ---

Yep, it’s the standard SDMB troll trifecta of global warming denial, evil Muslims, and misogyny (which we here at the SDMB now refer to as On Feminism). ---

I just wanted to share the struggle with all of you. I know you had a mis-step, but you can do it. Just stay away from that thread. Don’t even open it. Let them have a nice little 2 way conversation about how their manliness scared all the feminist womeninssss away. Just among themselves. “You scared them, you big he man. No, you did, you smoldering hunk of virility. No you. Let’s leave the Dope and go to a private chat room, just for us…” I’m sure it would go just like that. Either that, or the thread would die, Die, DIE. Win-win, really. ---
