> [@Gyrate](#): > > 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. Man, “two weeks” turned out to be highly overgenerous. Bang went the hammer. ---

He actually directed a response directly to me! ! I nearly swooned. But i kept my hot little hands off the reply button. ---

Stay strong, people. He’s going to keep bumping his own thread (even though he already claimed he was “giving up”), but if no one responds he’s going to look even dumber than he already does. There’s also a good chance it’ll be locked once it becomes clear that he’s just talking to himself. ---

It’s funny, because the lib argument actual does come up here, and he’s just as wrong with that one. ---

He has no desire to argue in good faith. I keep reminding myself of that. ---

He’s doing it again. He’s down to **QuickSilver**. He’s still debating (ha) what women find attractive. ---

Jack keeps mentioning me in inaccurate and weird ways, but I’m trying to resist the temptation to respond. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > Jack keeps mentioning me in inaccurate and weird ways, but I’m trying to resist the temptation to respond. That’s his whole shtick. He misconstrues the words and ideas of others, just to draw them back in so that he can–once more–demonstrate his supposed general superiority and awe-inspiring writing. That he makes no actual sense and knows nothing about feminism beyond its most simplistic MRA depiction doesn’t bother him in the slightest. Maybe it’s a sociology project. ---
