Although I think we each have a right to decide what we spend our money on. On second thought it is foolish, but well, it aint the most foolish thing I do… ---

I agree with the **ralph142c** hate but I’ll tack on the fact that at least 90% of the time he will type a 9 or 0 for at least one of a parenthesis pair. I can understand doing it once in a while, but to keep endlessly making the same typo is beyond my comprehension. **pseudotriton ruber ruber** posts some crazy shit from time to time and has a stupid name. Another one of the overenthusiastic super-liberals like **Der Trihs** with a splash of paranoid anti-religious tendencies as well. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a non-religious liberal myself, but the shit s/he posts is just retarded. **even sven** seems to talk about Cameroon in every single post. Look, sometimes it’s pertinent to the topic and what you say is genuinely interesting; however, it becomes overbearing and annoying to relate every single topic about that one time you spent some time in Africa. Similarly **Nava** with Spain/Spanish. It’s OK to reference that once in a while, but somehow everything comes to “Well in Spain…” There’s probably more but that’s all I can think of for now. ---

I agree on all of those to a degree. I really like **even sven** and \*\*Nava \*\*as posters, but I sure as heck won’t forget where they live(d). It’s not necessarily a bad thing, though; it adds flavor to the boards. Valete, Vox Imperatoris ---

I can’t believe I neglected **Siam Sam**! I love his posts, but for a while there every thread in MPSIMS was about Thailand. He stopped, though. Valete, Vox Imperatoris ---

Thought of a couple more. **weirddave** blithely regurgitates the most brainless conservative banter I’ve seen. His stuff in the thread about Joe the Plumber was beyond ridiculous. **Chessic Sense** , whose homophobic antics in a thread about gays in the military were pretty enlightening into his character. Upon viewing his subsequent posts the initial assessment of “inconsiderate douchebag” remains valid, as there have been numerous posts of his with similarly narrowminded outlooks. Gonna agree with people mentioning the manual-sig-typers who always sign off their posts in chipper fashion with no regard to the preceding subject matter. I would bet **Mtgman** would cap off a post describing his bowel habits in disgusting detail by cheerily signing “Enjoy, Steven”. I don’t even get the sentiment behind the tagline. Are we supposed to be grateful for his presence on the board and for posting whatever tripe it is he says? Sorry, but reading some random post of yours is not a cause for celebration. I will throw “Regards, Shodan” in the mix and the OP’s pretentious “Valete” closing. ---

Some of us live boring lives, but we have one good story, so it gets repeated ad nauseum. FTR, I love EVERYBODY. ---

I can’t stand idiots who refuse to post the FUCKING SWEAR WORD in their thread title, and instead opt to mask their naughty language with a twee representation like “f\*\*\*ing”. ---

**kanicbird** and **Aji de Gallina** , who have nothing but FUD to contribute to any conversation at all, and are happy to shit all over everything they see. I have no time for them. I’ve only ever actually ignored one poster, though, and that was because her trolling started getting so blatant and so completely irrelevant that I knew I’d have to go back on my blood pressure meds if I kept reading it. I also can’t stand **ralph124c** because he writes like he’s missing at least one lobe, and has absolutely no interest in rational, constructive conversation. To paraphrase a description of **magellan01** , having a grown-up conversation with **ralph124c** is like trying to teach algebra to a cat: you’ll only make the cat angry. He reminds me of a roommate with developmental problems I once had. That guy, at least, knew how to pretend he had a sliver of a clue what he was talking about. > [@Vox Imperatoris](#): > > Also, freakalette. This is more in the “Posters that weird you out” category, but ever since that thread (you know the one), I just can’t read her posts the same way. You can’t stand her because she has a fetish you don’t share? 😕 Man, some people really have a stick up their ass. > [@Vox Imperatoris](#): > > No, because the two terms are not related. I think you’re on my list, too, but I can’t remember what thread made me think that. Maybe I have you confused with someone else. Probably. **Larry Borgia** ’s username is really similar to at least two other posters here. I can’t remember ever disliking any of them, but I think **Larry Borgia** is the most noncontroversial and mild-mannered, because I always think he’s one of the other ones until I see his name several times in a thread. > [@twickster](#): > > How many votes do you need to cut it the fuck out? I’ll gladly be the eleventh. (The irony of my participation in this thread is not at all lost on me, by the way.) ---
