“The Scumpups” sounds like a 70s punk group that gained notoriety from disgusting onstage antics rather than musical talent. ---

It would make more sense if he was a Hell’s Angel. But the truly creepy thing about **Scumpup** is that he claims to be (or have been) a schoolteacher. The thought of such a hate-filled, nasty, vicious-minded scumbag being responsible for the guidance of children is deeply disturbing. ---

So that a user named **RagingAsshole** usually turns out to be a raging asshole, and **Ima Troll** a troll… This is very true. In real life, I am a 1920s scat singer who later voiced Jiminy Cricket in a Disney feature and eventually died destitute in 1971. I’ll come by late tonight and haunt your ass.

Yeah, you like to stalk some dopers to know more about them, often concluding they’re unproductive individuals with lots of internet time. In any case, I wouldn’t recommend meeting with [him](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=861914). ---

I think we are reading it wrong: it is supposed to be pronounced “scump up”. ---

> [@Colibri](#): > > **Scumpup** is a pathetic little man who gets his entertainment from taking potshots at people in the Pit. I seem to recall him talking about retirement, so maybe he just has more time right now to indulge in this toxic little habit. But he’s always been a mean-spirited asshole. > > Here’s a sample of his recent jabs against a variety of other posters. Oh, yeah. I put him on ignore around the same time as the Trump supporters and conservatives who were just trying to get a rise out of people, and forgot that it was this that led me to decide not to bother reading his stuff. Basically, anyone I feel is just trying to get a rise out of people gets on my ignore list. I know about myself that I’m easily angered, so it gives me a reminder so I don’t just feel a “need” to respond. If I feel like I’m missing out on the conversation, I can click to see what they said. But, as you can guess, that rarely happens when someone is just taking potshots. ---

Wait being as asshole in the Pit is frowned upon now? I thought that was the whole reason it existed. I’ll admit, I’ve laughed at a lot of his insults. ---
