This thread needs a poll. I’ve finally figured out how to do them in the Pit. See [here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=604454) Nobody tell the mods, or you’ll spoil it. 😉

Fail. You should have slipped the mods a sawbuck.

Oh, well, I guess that didn’t work. Who ratted?

But seriously, I always wondered how polls are made, and this seemed like a good chance to try.

I agree. It seems like some people are taking him way too seriously. I’m pretty sure that his comment about not wanting to learn Spanish because he’s racist was meant as a sarcastic joke.

I often read through posts before I read the name of the person who posted them, and whenever I think “wow, that was a totally worthless post, completely without any merit and I actually feel dumber for having read it”, about 75% of the time I look and it came from PSXer.

Okay I give up, what poster is responsible for the other 25%?

I think he’s funny, and not actually a troll. Just a guy in his early 20’s, who are hilarious. They’re like 8-month-old labradors. Cute and stupid and destructive and hopefully will become normal members of society someday.

I think I’d probably hang out with him IRL. Or at least let him hang around me and take him to parties and get him a little drunk so my friends can sit around and snark with him. That’s what we do with our current crop of guys in their early 20’s.

I liked **VC03** too, but **PSXer** doesn’t seem to be quite as malicious.

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.

Wow, I did the same exact thing!

I miss **VCO3** and agree that **PSXer** is harmless. He keeps his shit in his own threads, and is honest about his trollery. Being trolled by PSXer is liked being mugged by a quadraplegic 8 year old. You know you’re supposed to be annoyed, but the only thing you feel is tolerant amusement.

And I do miss _An Account of the Habits and Customs of Black People, as Observed by VCO3, esq. PhD._ All I learned was that they don’t like coffee, camping and quiet conversation. Once again, scholarship is censored by the PC elite.

Same here, except my reaction is more “who on earth has a life so empty, meaningless, and boring as to prompt them to spend enough time to write a post about _that_?! Oh, PSXer. Right.”

The only thing more meaningless and empty than the above post would be this one. Because now I am commenting on a comment on a meaningless post.

No, actually that probably isn’t correct. A comment on this post, the one you are now reading, that would be even more meaningless. Because it would be a meaningless comment on a meaningless comment about a meaningless comment about a meaningless person. Who has an empty meaningless boring existence.

I’m actually curious to know the follow up from the Super Bowl party affair. I have no idea who or what PSXer is, but at least he freely admits his intentions.
