> [@Marley23](#): > > Legacy? If you’re copping to trolling, you should know not the weirdest troll we’ve had this week, _and it’s Wednesday_. Maybe he means his political legacy. I’m sure people will look back on his early discussions of how much he loves Hitler [sub]for his public speaking, in all other respects he was a terrible monster[/sub] with interest once he throws his hat into the public arena. ---

> [@Giraffe](#): > > That’s not what he said. He said he wants to use his wealth of knowledge about how amazing Hitler was [sub]at public speaking, in all other respects he was a terrible monster[/sub] in order to inspire and motive them. He finds Hitler very inspirational [sub]at public speaking, in all other respects he was a terrible monster[/sub] and wants to be just like him [sub]at public speaking, in all other respects he was a terrible monster[/sub]. He can only hope he is as successful in politics as Hitler was [sub]at public speaking, in all other respects he was a terrible monster[/sub] and that history will remember him as a second Hitler [sub]in the field of public speaking[/sub]. Now, now. Let’s not make him out to be so one-dimensional. Motherfucker’s also [shredded](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16478370&postcount=27). ---

My only question at this point is whether **EVO** cracks the century in his post count before he’s banned for trolling. 🙂 ---

Plus the thread title itself - why is asking for help on public speaking controversial? ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > Legacy? If you’re copping to trolling, you should know not the weirdest troll we’ve had this week, _and it’s Wednesday_. Yes, legacy. Great men leave significant contributions (legacies) for those that follow. One can take great pride in knowing their legacy will benefit others. Trolls on the other hand take pride in thread bumps. Shitstains compared to real legacies but to a bottom feeder a shitstain is pretty tasty. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > We’re only Hitler. I mean, human. Well, with regard to **rEVOLutionary** , I would have to say that this assumes facts not yet in evidence. The human part anyway.

> [@rEVOLutionary](#): > > Not really. I asked about speaking and mentioned someone who I think is a great speaker. Only mentioned? You practically made the thread about how great a speaker he was, and the fact that you put the word “controversial” in the title gives lie to any claim that you don’t know why people reacted the way they did, troll. ---
