Please Join Me for the Pitting of LinusK

In essence, yes.

I don’t think he has people on ignore. He seldom responds to direct questions, but he’ll grossly misrepresent something you’ve said seven pages later. It’s just how he reads.

Here’s an interesting quote from his latest pro-misogyny thread:

Observe how the world’s worst debater tries to set himself up as being opposed to such dirty tricks as putting words in other people’s mouths and implying that they’re stupid immediately after doing this himself…and in response to a poster who’s been pretty patient and civil with him.

What’s especially funny about this (and by “funny” I mean “sad”) isn’t so much his total lack of self-awareness as his inability to use even cliched rhetorical devices correctly. His attempt at the old “If by X you mean Y” reads like someone who’s seen this used before but doesn’t really understand how it works. There are probably actual bots that could do a better job than this.

He could have just posed the Bloom County sequence about Ladies Against Women and had done with it.

I’m so glad we have a man here to tell me about all the things I’ve personally experienced and witnessed are all made up.

It just must be my white woman privilege that makes me so prone to the vapors.

Well, there’s a shortage of fainting couches now. That’s a hardship.

I’m guessing Andros will now join the ranks of the ignored. Or at least his request to see some evidence that feminists believe that only men commit domestic violence will echo into the boundless void with other odd requests like, “what is the point of this thread, LinusK?

Ol’ LK is really starting to chap my hide. Why exactly is it that he gets to tramp through life, or at least this Board, spouting nonsense, and never actually answering for any of it? We can’t call shenanigans on him anywhere except here, and he doesn’t have to answer. In Post #167 of his latest Opus, he actually included female fear of bugs as, I think, evidence of patriarchy. Or that there isn’t one. I couldn’t tell.

Can I call him a troll yet?

We’re going to have to do an intervention with Jimmy Chitwood. He’s engaging again.

Quick! Someone give him something less destructive of his health and sanity. Bring out the meth!

I have engaged again too. :o

Well, he won’t come here and he brought up the frickin’ bugs again. Then Rune said I was dour for not getting the joke.

I’ve decided I want a cite for everything. How is that dour?

Not that LK answers me. This way lies madness.

I rather doubt that LinusK himself knows why he keeps bringing up bugs, it’s just one of the many things he repeats mindlessly. However, I believe I discovered the origin of this back in the last anti-feminism thread.

Short version: In one of LinusK’s even older anti-feminism threads, Shodan made a joke about women being afraid of bugs. LinusK absorbed this and has been regurgitating it regularly ever since. I don’t think he understands that it was supposed to be a corny joke.

Duly noted. Thank you. :slight_smile:

Well. Not directly!

Now turn off the light!
(shuffles back into the corner, twitching)

I don’t engage with him anymore. I wouldn’t even know where to begin. He just has no idea. And I love how he talks about white women. There might be a few other races of women here. Um, maybe 1 or 2.

Indirect engagement leads to bugs and sinking ships. Don’t go there.

But direct engagement means LinusK will buy a diamond from Jared then complain he is being manipulated by an evil cabal of wimmens.

I hear Eminem has refused to work with LinusK again because Linus’s attitude towards women makes him uncomfortable.

Took me a bit to realize what connections diamonds had with Subway child molesters. :smack:

I don’t think I’ve ever engaged him. I just complain about him here. If I engaged him in one of the non-Pit threads, I’d probably quickly end up with my first warning …

LinusK did not even dignify all these cybermenstruations with an answer.
