I think he’s referring to bbs2k. Which is still bullshit.
Ah. My mistake, then.
Tonight at 11: what happens when nerds talk.
Fuck you for some reason!
[sub]Is it more petty to post about something trivial, or is it more petty to notice said posting? Endless cycle, pure bullshit. Meh.[/sub]
It’s funny, more than anything. QED seems to have some need for board validation, and many times just has to be the first person to post an answer. I can’t count the times he has posted an answer, and I google some keywords and come up with the same link.
It cracks me up when he posts his google bullshit and then a member with actual expertise on the topic comes in and busts his balls.
If you “can’t count” those times, would it be fair to say that they are “countless”?
That seems like a lot of times.
Out of said instances, that are beyond counting range, might you present us with a few exemplars? These instances seem to be countless, surely there must be a wealth of them.
I’m most interested in the instances where he answers first, and then is proven wrong if it matters to you. Otherwise, he may or may not be faster at providing factual info via search engines. That can certainly be called a skill of sorts.
Nah, maybe it just means he’s stymied by numbers much larger than a half dozen or so.
Just so were clear here, a half dozen equals a goozle right?
I’m so tired of the “Is a peck greater than a fartling, or is it equal to a cornsworth?” debate. Silly New Englanders.
I say we just adopt the metric system.
I think he was probably laughing so hard at this one that he lost count. Though you were the late simulpost for first place on that one.
Sometimes it is smartest to know what NOT to say, and “duh” just might be the best and most concise response there is.
Just sayin’. 
What’s your beef with bbs2k?
(my bolding)
//reaches for dictionary//
Once again I’m reminded why I hang around here, a new word every week. 
Are you seriously asking if I have some unspoken beef with bbs2k, or are you trolling me? If the first, try reading my post again. All the “beef” you need is in there.
No, it’s not, idiot. Your post is a content-free accusation of trolling with absolutely zero substantiation. You got some evidence he’s a troll? Then put up, or STFU.
Not as strongly as Q.E.D., but I think he has a point, what makes **bbs2k ** such a troll in your eyes?
Damn, I like all three of you. I don’t think any of you are trolls or a detriment to the board.
I must concede that bbs2k’s recent trolling spree is subtle enough to elude the understanding of most 15-year-olds, not to mention that your normal Google tactics are useless for it. Anyone else here who’s been paying the slightest bit of attention to bbs2k’s posting habits and PM habits shouldn’t need any help figuring it out.
Okay…
First of all, what?
My posting habits are 1) silly 2) stupid and 3) helpful.
I’ll read this whole thing later, and give a civilized answer later on tonight, but in the meantime you’ve forced my hand.
Eel girl blackmail!.
PS: The "il!"combination is a fascinating one.
His PM habits? How are we supposed to take note of something which, by definition, is private?
Gee, thanks for the en passant insult as you snark Q.E.D., but seriously, how has he been trolling since his return?
How would anyone be aware of his PM habits? My few PMs with him have been from a polite poster that is often silly. That is generally what I see in his postings.

Very mature, bbs2k.
Sorry, I assumed he was as much of an annoying prick in PMs to everyone else as to me, since his first PM to me started with something like “My PMs have a habit of being pasted to [other boards]”. He then attempted to drum up some kind of promise not to say anything mean about him on this or any board, in exchange for not bringing up that eel post, as if I’m supposed to be terrified of somebody finding out something that I, um, TOLD THE INTERNET ALREADY. Anyway, I played along, mostly because at that point I had no real reason to badmouth him anyway.
Then I started to notice the trolling. The little cutesy pastes of things discussed at the other board–the GQ thread that touched this whole thing off is just the most recent example–are the bulk of it. But I’ve seen a fair bit of mod-baiting, other-poster-baiting, OP-baiting, etc. Each instance is fairly subtle as far as trollings go, but the whole picture is blatant to anyone who pays much attention to the pattern. And What Exit?, I didn’t mean to insult you in that last post; I assumed you just hadn’t been paying attention to his behavior, since you never seemed to be the type to get caught up in the Troll of the Week drama.
Anyway, bbs2k’s next PM to me was a blatant trolling attempt. I can only do it justice by pasting it here:
Since I don’t want to go into that board’s drama any more than is necessary to tell this story, I’ll simply paste my response:
(Explanations in bold added for the benefit of exclusive Dopers.)
To which he responded:
If that isn’t the most blatant trolling attempt you’ve ever seen, I don’t know what is. I had no intention of bringing Chris’s silly PM drama to the public eye, mostly because no, I don’t have a beef with him, and my life isn’t that affected by his standing here at the Dope. But I feel clarification is now necessary. Mods, if I’ve stepped over the line, I apologize. I didn’t know how else to tell the story.
