> [@kambuckta](#): > > 1: There is no way in hell that **Curtis LeMay** is a fourteen year old boy. The language he uses and the worldly knowledge displayed in this and other threads indicate a person of vastly advanced years. Something smells funny. :rolleyes: > > 2: Coming here for validation (?) and posting a link to the offending thread on the other board smells awfully strange to me too. Given the (general) lack of success of his other threads on this board, I wonder what purpose he felt that this one might serve? :rolleyes: I don’t know, these two points kind of complement each other. Coming here to vent about something like this is exactly the kind of thing a 14 year old kid would do. ---

Even 14-year-olds know better than to vent to people who aren’t sympathetic to what they have to say. Does he really think he’s among friends? ---

Ugh. I’m all outraged out today. But there’s nothing about Curtis that indicates that the is anything more than a typical 14 year old with Asperger’s being raised by parents who have taught him these things are wrong, but not taught him the appropriate times to mention it. I’m sorry, trolls are not that good at this. But I will do this to get your attention: He has Asperger’s. ---

Curtis LeMay is not 14 years old. I’ve known **many** 14 yr olds, some extremely bright, others not so much. Some have had Aspergers, others are just somewhat mad on other scales. Some have been typically normal kids, some have had obsessions with all sorts of subjects, but our own **Curtis LeMay** is none of those things. He’s a troll folks, having adopted a totally alien persona for the purposes of slinking around messageboards to stir up shit. Have a good day. ---

I don’t buy that he’s a troll, he’s too consistent. Nor are his beliefs so unusual as to make it hard to believe he really thinks like that. ---

Curtis, I have two rules that would benefit you: 1. If you’re ignorant, don’t be arrogant. 2. If you’re arrogant, don’t be ignorant. To save us all some time, please consider this to be part of every response I ever post to you in any thread. Thank you. ---

> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > I don’t buy that he’s a troll, he’s too consistent. Nor are his beliefs so unusual as to make it hard to believe he really thinks like that. But how many 14 yr old boys (as he has claimed) who are so well versed in scripture, politics, ethics, history _and_ the rest of his pet subjects AND with a vocabulary to die for _and_ a mastery of incredibly precise grammar as he has shown do you know **Der Trihs**? I’ve met **plenty** , and none of them have the _interest_ or ability to articulate the views he espouses here. Fourteen year old kids hang out with friends at school, on Facebook and might, at a pinch, start reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance whilst burning incense in their bedroom to cover the whiff of the dope they are smoking. I’m not alleging that he doesn’t believe all the shit he spews. What I AM claiming is that he is not 14 years old, and therefore, by definition, he is trolling. YMMV and all of that. ---

Dude, I’m slightly less pro-life/anti-abortion than you but way more than the vast majority here, and I gotta say that you need some diplomatic skills. Granted, when I was 14, I may have handled it much as you did, but still… Curtis, really… handle things with some compassion for the poster. ---

You know, I’ve got to doubt that this Board skews as far left as some say, if the basic response around here is “I don’t believe the fundies indoctrinate their brightest children to be as obnoxious as \*\*Curtis \*\*appears to be.” ---

To the OP, if you really feel your beliefs, and your desire to express them, trump common decency, good for you. It’ll bite you in the arse at some point, but that’s by the by. But for fucks sake man up and take the criticism you get for it and stop whining. ---

We all know the type. They fuck with you constantly, and when you finally do something back, they run to their fucking mommy in tears to tell on you. Like I said before Curtis, just shut the fuck up. You’re a lod mouth brat, all full of himself. and you will find out that no, The World really doesn’t give a shit about you. You’re not special or unique. ---

I’ve just remembered who the real Curtis LeMay was. Two points… 1. Bit of a dickish move to name yourself after such an, er, interesting character, and 2. More ammunition for the troll theory, how many 14 year old fundamentalist wankers would’ve heard of him? ---

I don’t know if LeMay is a troll or not, but I’m glad to have a link to another forum where the participants bash him without mercy. ---

To the OP: Please don’t bring your other board drama here. Apparantly the mods don’t mind but if you’re going to whine go whine at the place that made you cry in the first place. To the rest of you jerks: Hi. ---
