In this thread on the possibility of investigating the election results, **pliskin** is offering nothing of value and in general just disrupting things. I can’t say if it’s intentional or not.

He seems to think that violent actions by a few on the left are somehow relevant to discussions of audits and recounts.

He seems to think that lack of knowledge about how the system works is a badge of honor, and is proud of the fact that he “managed to avoid taking any civics classes in school”.

He seems to be admitting that he is not intellectually capable of learning both civics and STEM subjects, something many others have managed to do. (I guess I shouldn’t complain about that. He’s shooting himself in the foot with that admission.)

He’s being a pain in the ass in general, and I get the impression that he’s actually proud of his childish behavior.
