Woo hoo, I’m leading. Of course starting a non-popularity poll is a incredibly stupid thing to do. I tried to point that out to **Elvisl1ves** in the other thread, but, rather than continue on there, I figured I’d give the big lug his own personal thread to do with as he wishes.

Not only is **Elvis** an asshole, he’s a spectacularly useless asshole. ---

> [@askeptic](#): > > I call bull shit. You clearly wanted to initiate a pile on. It did not work. Now you are trying to weasel out. Read the other thread, paying especially close attention how dismissive of an idea I thought the “Is Elvis an asshole” thread idea. You can also check the post where I asked Elvis to start another thread that was all about him, rather than hijack that one. This is that thread. If you still think I’m trying a pile on, or “weaseling out”, well, next time I’ll try to be even less faceitious with the title. > [@Giraffe](#): > > You mean like Reader’s Digest vs. Maxim? In a cage match, I’d have to go with the digest. Maxim’s just too damn top heavy. ---

I have a hunch that many of us with extreme and/or passionate feelings about many subjects such as religion, or politics, or abortion or the color of the sky can and will be considered “assholes” by those who disagree. So I vote that ElvisL1ves is an asshole, I’m for certain an asshole, All of the above-mentioned posters are also assholes, too. Even you, Maureen. 🙂 Sam [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-elvisl1ves-is-an-asshole/305472.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-elvisl1ves-is-an-asshole/305472.md?page=3)
