Total posts minus the first ever post, and minus the “It wasn’t me post”. Oh, no, wait… maybe The Evil Brother also posted the post about The Evil Brother, DAMN HIS EVILNESS, **DAMN IT!** ---

Well, if anybody’s interested, I believe Ryan when he says his brother started the Monopoly thread. 1. Brothers can be total dicks. 2. People who share a computer can, either accidentally or on purpose, post under the wrong username. Me and Boxer had this happen a couple of times to us, and he’s not my dick of a brother, he’s my (very nice) husband. 3. People who aren’t Dopers frequently don’t “get” the SDMB, and find it either hilarious, or profoundly irritating. Both sorts of people might find it amusing to post idiocy under the Doper’s user name. 4. Ryan hasn’t sounded to me like a total dick, at all, in the short time he’s been here. A little overenthusiastic, maybe, but not a total dick. And only a total dick would have started a dumbass GQ thread like “What is a monopoly?” Sheesh, people, lighten up on the troll-hunting paranoia a bit, or else you’re all gonna have to go be fitted for larger size tinfoil hats. So yes, Ryan, I guess this means I’m calling your brother a dumbass total dick. You can tell him I said so. And tell him to get his OWN friggin’ user name, I would LOVE to see the Pitizens take him apart. Oh, wait, he might not be old enough to register. How old is he, about 12? ---

I have three brothers, one lives on his own (19), and the other two are younger than me. I’m 17 the other younger two are 12 and 14. I’m going to be the butt of jokes for weeks on end now :smack: Oh and no, don’t worry, he only did that one thread. ---

Didn’t your location used to say “Dublin” when you first registered, Ryan? 😕 Says “Manchester” now… Because I remember Ryan and Liam both sounded Irish so I thought, “Ah, yes, Dublin…” Not that anybody really cares where anybody else says they’re from, except for DopeFests, but I just wondered. \<\< I hate senior moments… where are my glasses? never mind, I found them \>\> ---

That wasn’t what I was asking–I was asking whether it didn’t say “Dublin” under your Location when you first registered, where now it says “Manchester”. ---

**DDG** - it’s always been Manchester. I noticed he was from the UK right from the beginning. ---
