Or at least stop posting when drunk. Thank you. Threads in evidence: [A](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=660525) [B](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=639666) [C](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=654417) And I know for every one I found there were probably 3-5 where the mods eventually fixed the titles… ---

You have to admit that spelling error in “charter schools” is pretty freaking funny. ---

He’s been pitted for his spelling and grammar many, many times and it has no effect. I really don’t know what his problem is, but I wish he would seek help for it. I very rarely ever read a **ralph124c** thread or post because of it. Too bad to as I think some of the topics might be interesting. ---

And the input from all the other posters is as well? A stupid question CAN lead to interesting discussions. Don’t get me wrong. Ralph has me eyerolling on a regular basis. But IMO once in awhile, perhaps a great while, his threads aren’t horrible and he sometimes makes a decent/good point. ---

OP, you are pissing into the wind here. The moron in question is, has always been, and always will be a net drain on the resources of this board. His GQ threads alternate, for the most part, between questions that are so basic that a quick check of Google or Wikipedia would provide an unambiguous answer, and questions that are so stupid or vague or poorly thought-out that no answer is ever likely to be forthcoming. What’s even worse is that, in a large proportion of the (literally thousands) of threads that he starts, he never returns to thank people for their input, or to contribute to the conversation in any meaningful way. He seems to start every day by asking himself, “What vaguely-and-probably-inaccurately-remembered tidbit from my past can i turn into a poorly-worded question to which i don’t really want the answer?” I think that the best punishment for **ralph124c** would be stranding him on a desert island with **Jinx** , who is almost as bad. They would spend the rest of their lives bombarding one another with inane questions. ---

Damn you for not replacing “titles” in yours with “titties.” Woulda made today 100% better. ---

I doubt he gives a rats ass. You for not reading something possibly interesting? Perhaps. Way to show HIM by not educating yourself! Lets take the OP that started this. Crahter Schools. Is Ralphs OP likely a mess? Yes. Is the topic itself some thing that might generate some interesting discussion and revelation of facts? Heck yes. ---
