I do not speak for all of the liberals/leftists of the SDMB. However, I think you might want to reconsider becoming the **december** of the Left. [OMG…georgewbush.com](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=206315). What the HELL? What are you going to do next, start a thread about how Bush hangs the toilet paper the wrong way? Give it a rest! ---

It’s too late. His reputation is such that no matter what he posts I’ll make fun of him. ---

Right. 🙂 Well, that didn’t take long. The thread in question is already closed, with an admonishment to make it a debate next time. I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t get to make fun of him a litle more, but maybe that will be a push in the right direction, one that **Gaudere** was a little reluctant to give him. ---

Looks like Reeder decided that her failure to beat his ass like a bad puppy less as the warning it was meant to be and more as license to be a luser. ---

I think this is #4 for Reeder, I think my title is the best though. ---

Cripey. That was pretty sad, **Reeder**. Give us _something_, at least. Even “Can Bush really be RE-elected?” would have been better. By one of those hairs. Get any more pitiful and we’re going to think you’re a GOP stooge who’s paid to stand in public wearing an “I hate Bush” T-shirt and a full diaper. ---

Geeze, I gave up on **Reeder** [as a plague on anyone even slightly to the left here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=200255), if not earlier. ---

Does Reeder ever even respond to criticism in the pit like this? If not, isn’t that a bad sign? ---

I’ve been registered for almost a year now, but I didn’t notice **Reeder** causing much fuss until fairly recently. Has he (it is a he, right?) been putting out Fark-grade political commentary for two and a half years without drawing my attention, or is this a somewhat recent development? ---

Thats an interesting observation, **appletreats**. I’ve been here a while, and also have only recently noticed these “dysfunctional” threads recently. I wonder if something happened in his life to trigger this behavior. **Reeder** , if you are reading this, I wish you peace my friend. I’ve gone through some pretty rough patches lately myself, which I know have changed me permanently. I hope things are OK with you. But I also wish you’d see that these threads you start do nothing but hurt your cause(s). ---

**Reeder:** Didn’t you ask AD USAF and me recenlty how many of your GD threads had been closed? I guess you can start counting with this one. But you’re doing a great job of making the Left leaning posters on this board embarassed. Keep up the good work! ---

I tried to add some debate into that thread, but I guess the link I gave isn’t really debatable. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/reeder-please-stop-embarassing-us/196851.md?page=2)
