His defense against that baseless gratuitous anti-Muslim slur seems to be “See! Mooselims are SO eeeeevil that just being from the same region can corrupt even Christians.” ---

I don’t usually hope for people to get banned, but this guy gets on my last nerve. It’s not even his opinions and politics, though they do suck, but how he derails every thread he enters. He doesn’t just post, he posts five lengthy diatribes in a fucking row. As if that’s not bad enough, most of his posts are off topic! Frankly, he ruined the Michelle Bachmann thread with this shit. It’s enough already, he obviously has no interest in learning how this board works. ---

It’s the way he continually posts the same rants over and over again. He hates Obama. He hates Muslims. He hates Democrats. We get it. His repetitious hate speech helps nobody. I say ban him. ---

I’m trying to remain civil in the Bachmann thread but I really want to tell this asshole to go fuck himself. I know he’s been warned multiple times by mods, but he keeps doing the same shit. And if what he’s doing doesn’t qualify as jerk behavior, I don’t know what does. ---

I’ve been reluctant to reveal what actually annoys me the most about **Recovering Republican** , but I feel the time has come to see who else agrees with me. The most annoying thing about this dimwit is that he is either too big a nimrod to realize this Pitting is going on OR he is such a pathetic, limp dicked chickenshit that he can’t even stop by to attempt a defense. I know his keyboard works just fine because he can freely post 3, 4, 9 or 163 posts in a row in a feeble attempt to make a point but he can’t handle a momentary pop-in to tell us all how mean _mean_ _ **mean** _ we all are. C’mon guy! We all know you’re reading this thread. Jump on in and stomp your foot while you tell us how persecuted and picked on you have been every day since you joined this board. It might actually bring a tear to the eye of some of our more feeble minded folk. Dontcha’ think so guy? ---

You forgot option number 3: it’s just a troll/sock, putting on a character to provoke you and others.

> [@Rhythmdvl](#): > > … take the **pseudotriton ruber ruber** challenge. Don’t respond. I really haven’t responded. At least until this thread. It may be a sock, maybe not. It seems much more dim than the socks or trolls I’ve noticed in the past. Oh well. I’m sure it’ll be gone soon enough. ---

With how often he posts, and how much he bangs on the Unemployment drum, I can only assume that he himself is unemployed and spends the entirety of his day posting here (and who knows where else) rather than looking for work (probably because in his view, becoming employed would increase Obama’s chances in 2012.) ---

I’ve not been participating at the Dope much lately. It’s been a bit of a rough patch. You see, I decided to make a drinking game out of **Recovering Republican** – every time he says any combination or variation of “9% unemployment” take a shot. I’d like to thank my sponsor for helping me through these trying times, but the good news is that I’m now number two on the liver transplant list. Skoal, brother. ---

I have very rarely piled on anyone here (I don’t remember having done this before), few people get to me enough to bother, but this guy is just hijacking every thread he drops in to let us know that “Obama is teh suckzor1!!!”. Yeah, we get it dude, buy a tag line and move on. Another vote for showing him the door.
