I think PSXer is a pretty cool guy, eh posts nonsense and doesn’t afraid of anything. ---

Muchly deserved pitting if I’ve ever seen one. PSXer is pretty much a troll, in my opinion. Some in here have said he’s harmless, but I disagree. I think anyone who is that annoying can’t be fully harmless. One thing I’ve noticed about him is his habit of playing a lame martyr, putting himself up on the cross for all things he’s “sick and tired” of. For example, he’s [“tired as fuck”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13677349&postcount=9) for everyone bagging on him about his major, [“tired as heck”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13659399&postcount=9) for everyone thinking pot is illegal, [“tired”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13539488&postcount=59) of everyone saying how much they say they like Finding Nemo, [“tired as heck”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13449564&postcount=8) hearing about the GHOTIO thing, [“tired as heck”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12808479&postcount=3) of people on here mocking his TVs, [“tired as heck”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12729130&postcount=9) of the people on here mocking what TV shows he likes, [“tired as heck”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12770885&postcount=4) of the people on here mocking every US state they don’t like, [“tired as heck”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12726297&postcount=31) of the people on here hijacking all of his topics, [“tired as heck”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12707069&postcount=14) of the old posters on here mocking him, [“tired as heck”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12631135&postcount=18) of everyone (“not just on here”) doubting his Harry Potter knowledge, and [“tired as heck”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12417565&postcount=22) of everyone on here making fun of him for not using capitals. Seems to me he’s tired as heck of everyone on here doing just about anything. He’s got such a huge persecution complex (either real or faked), it’s not funny. And lastly, his “my friend wants to know” OPs ran the course for being witty months ago. To date he’s started 21 OPs with nothing but “my friend wants to know”.

Holy crap. Now I’m kinda expecting an ATMB thread “PSXer has been Banned due to the reasons outlined perfectly in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13679988&postcount=22) post by **Idle Thoughts** ” ---

In fact, when he got banned, my grief was so great that I ritualistically shaved my head in mourning and when that proved insufficient, I took off my scalp as well and when THAT wasn’t enough, I began chiseling away chunks of my skull, all in an effort to make perfectly clear just how very very sad I was.

Put me firmly in the "he’s entertaining and mostly harmless camp.’’ Most of his threads produce a few honest and true belly-laughs. If he is sincere, he should be pitied. If he is a troll, which I too have a nigling suspicion about, I don’t see what is so especially aggravating. I’m willing to pretend I didn’t hear that crack about Spanish. Anyway, get in on the joke and it’s all gravy. ---

> [@Smeghead](#): > > This has been a long time coming. I would have done it myself a while ago, if not for the fact that he just isn’t worth the effort. My personal favorite will always and forever be the claim that he gets free popcorn at movie theaters by digging through the garbage for buckets that haven’t gotten their free refill yet. You are a fool. In these hard economic times advice like that is golden. I’ve been feeding my family of five that way since I was laid off two years ago. ---

What I find more annoying that **PSXer** himself is when he starts a thread with no mention of his friend and then someone comes in and makes a joke like “how long until your friend needs to know” blah blah blah. It was funny the first few times but now it’s going the way of Hi Opal. ---

He tries to be trollish, but he’s just not very good at it. The “my friend wants to know” schtick is his only joke so he goes to it again and again thinking that he’s clever. The fact that people aren’t even mad enough about him to get into a pitting shows how pathetic his attempts are. When he’s trolling he’s too obvious. When he’s serious it’s just sad.
