You speak truth. I may need an intervention. I keep thinking, no Ill be able to stop after one…
Nah, you’re safe if all you do is make lame driveby jokes.
Those jokes would still serve to bump those threads. The object should be to make sure they fall off the front page as soon as possible, so nobody should reply to the asshole.
Yeah, yeah, there’s always someone who can take it or leave it.
I’d agree with eulalia, but LinusK himself always bumps the thread after no one has responded to it for awhile.
Sure, because he knows when he does he’ll get fed.
I just want to point out that it’s a real struggle for me not to respond to this:

So far I’m holding strong, though. I just wanted to share the struggle with all of you.
Isn’t that the same poster freaking out about any Americans wanting to let Syrians into the country?
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.
He’s just the latest iteration of Construct/Captain 0bvious. 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.
But I could use the Nigerian funds to buy the swampland! Win/win!
As Jesus so eloquently put it in John 29:34-35, “Protect the little fetuses from all harm, but give ye not a flying fuck about the desperate Syrian children.”
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.
He’s also started a thread about how global warming is a hoax, perpetrated in order to get all those sweet, sweet science pennies.
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 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.
Relapses are common in early recovery. We’re here for you.
I lapsed but I’m done.
The only one really keeping it going at this point is… Iiandyiiii. Dude, just walk away. No one is actually going to wade through all of that to understand how feminists think. You’re just feeding the trolls.
Okay, I’ll try.
I don’t think any of the anti-feminists are posting in good faith anymore, assuming they ever were. LinusK certainly isn’t, and Jack of Words appears to be engaged in public masturbation.
