Agreed. Thoroughly. The habit of posting such questioning OPs, only to completely ignore the replies (or worse still, to read the replies and never respond), is just plain rude. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > I don’t think he’s “that word.” I just think he’s incredibly stupid. Well, he’s a putz, no doubt. I’m not certain he’s all that stupid, but he does seem to enjoy more than his share of shit-stirring and trolling posts. I would suggest, though, that it might well be possible that he simply doesn’t think to return to the Bizaro threads he posts. Perhaps he just doesn’t think much about them. ---

What do you figure the odds are that he’ll read this thread? He’ll probably just start a new one in response. And then never go back to that one. ---

Oh, I think that’s a near-certainty, Ravenman. While ultimately I hope to smack some sense into ralph with this thread, more practically I hope to just raise awareness of his habits, hoping that people will stop feeding his threads. I wish there was a “ralph124c Rule”, where his thread is immediately locked after 10 posts until he returns to it and answers questions. There are a couple threads I linked to that went a couple pages before he returned (and even then he wouldn’t provide cites or any indication that he took the time to read people’s responses). ---

Oh man. The “Would I be a good general?” one almost made me mad. The effort people took in writing their posts only to get this in return: I would make a good general.

> [@Lute Skywatcher](#): > > I’m guessing Binkley isn’t a basset hound (with or without antlers). Beagle/Corgi. And for a shelter dog you’d think would have an anxiety closet, he’s remarkably well-adjusted. However, his ‘brother,’ also a Beagle/Corgi, does look a bit like Rosebud. I so wanted to name him Rosebud, but DH thought the it was ‘too girly.’ Poor abused Mojo is made to wear antlers at Christmas. ---
