So, where would the best place be, to start a serious topic about the disasters in Japan? Not for debating and fighting, but for talking about it like human beings do? ---

By the way, to anyone contemplating indulging this troll any further (and I’m considering enrolling in a Troll Feeders Anonymous 12-step myself), here is what the user profile informs me, was our troll’s _very first post_ on these boards: > [@How to be more convincing on the Internet](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-be-more-convincing-on-the-internet/570304/80): > > Post lots and lots. The more you post, the better chance you have of convincing others. The more crap you can cram into each post, the more obvious it will be that you must be correct. And start lots of topics, that show you are an Alpha and must be listened to. > > Don’t waste time actually reading what anyone else says, that is a waste of time, time you could be spending writing even more posts to convince people. ---

You want to actually be civil and get educated? General Questions. You wanta fight without the cussing? Great Debates. You wanna bitch and moan and pull facts/opinions out yer ass? IMHO might be the place. You wanna complain how all this radiation gave you an ingrown toe nail. MPSIMS is your friend. ---

MPSIMS. Exactly where the current thread about the earthquake is. Of course, given that you were the main asshole in the already-existing thread, i don’t hold out much hope that starting a new one will change things very much. ---

I realize now this post, in the earthquake thread > [@Large earthquake in Northeast Japan](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/large-earthquake-in-northeast-japan/574279/666): > > I’m astounded by claims that the media is alarmist, is hyping fear or something. Then they show the image of reactor #3, clearly it lost the top two thirds of the structure, and is leaking steam from the reactor, but nobody in the media is harping on that. > > This is the plutonium reactor. If the media was fear mongering, they would repeat over and over how the plutonium reactor building, which blew to bits, means there is massive plutonium release, already. > > Then they would focus on the deception by the authorities who keep saying they don’t know what or how much radioactive material is coming from the plant. Or has already come from it. Both obvious lies. > > That’s how you fear monger. No media outlet is doing anything close to that. was probably not the right place. People were talking about the media hyping this and fear mongering, and I’m like, “What the fuck?” Because I see the media as idiot clowns who never ask any hard questions, and as soon as there was radiation leaking they all left the fucking country. (edit) well fuck me. A bunch of post slipped in. This not warning that somebody has already posted, it sucks. ---

Go back to either post #134 or post #137, and click on the link, you know, to the thread in which you have posted thirty times already. I think Frank is right about you. ---

But hey, it’s a win win situation. I can keep all the alarmist bullshit ranting here, and if anybody is discussing things in a civil manner in another topic, I can always read that there. btw, that first post is an example of my sarcasm. ---

Of course if you look at the first postings I made, they are not sarcastic at all. Neither were the short pithy postings about being angry at people for being scared. But then, you either know that and are trolling, or you are some kind of real idiot. ---

You can’t convince those who have already made up their minds and who use faith or spud-science to base their opinions on. In short, FX, there is no point in trying to convince you…merely mock you and hopefully show the lurkers how ridiculous your position is. -XT ---

Of course if you really have a problem, you can start a thread about it, rather than trying to shit this one up. And you should probably know, I ignore trolls and idiots for the most part. So if I didn’t respond to your excellent insult, well, you’re probably an idiot. ---

Why do you double post all the time btw? Are you trying to build up your post count or something? [QUOTE=FXMastermind] Now you know how I feel about you. [/QUOTE] Well, you see, the thing is that the opinions of such as you are water off a duck as far as I’m concerned. I’m militantly disinterested in your opinion about me, to be honest. > [@](#): > > Of course if you really have a problem, you can start a thread about it, rather than trying to shit this one up. Christ, why would I want to start ANOTHER thread about you or this subject? I can humiliate you in this one just fine, and you don’t rate high enough to want to start a Pit thread of your very one. It would only be feeding you, after all. Like Le Jac, you will start enough threads on your own to give ample opportunity to make you look like an idiot, so no point in doing any extra work. Besides being militantly disinterested in your opinion I’m also chronically lazy… > [@](#): > > And you should probably know, I ignore trolls and idiots for the most part. So if I didn’t respond to your excellent insult, well, you’re probably an idiot. That’s nice. Feel free…be something else you have in common with Le Jac. Me, I don’t ignore anyone who is trying to spout a load of bullshit, since I think it’s practically a duty to make such people look bad. Cockroaches like you do best in the dark, and if people ignore them then we wind up with stuff like the Truth Movement. Can’t have that. Others on this board will bring the sun light (and do a lot better job than I would)…me, I like to provide the Raid… -XT ---

> [@gonzomax](#): > > Anti nukers started off pro nuke. I haven’t been purely pro nuke since the 70s. I’m still in favor of nuclear reactors aboard US Navy ships, but the Navy has backed down from them. A meltdown two miles below the surface still isn’t nice, but the damage is limited to the immediate area for a while at least. At first I became concerned about the lack of long term plans for the waste. Then I came to accept that the technology is unsafe for the workers and people living around the plants. I have always been skeptical about who much the industry and government lies to us about the safety record of nuclear power, but I’m always uncovering more about just how dishonest and unforthcoming they are. ---
