> [@septimus](#): > > I’d never even heard of Sevencl one minute ago, but just discovered he supports the guy who doesn’t tip in restaurants and blames Obama! Oh god, now I feel obliged to semi-defend the guy/girl, aargh. Obviously, the way s/he has stated it was to get a reaction out of a US-based message board, and yes, that was deliberate - anyone who’s spent any time around a large group of Americans knows the tipping custom, and how you’re stealing from the mouths of babies of hardworking blue collar moms&pops if you don’t. HOWEVER, in the context of being said by a British person, what Sevencl said was reasonable and not stupid (disclaimer, disclaimer, if it had been said within the UK, to a UK audience, etc etc, blah blah blah). In the UK, the bill you are presented with is calculated to include your servers wages, so if you leave any extra for them/the cook/whoever, it’s an act of sheer generosity, not an unwritten obligation. So yeah, if you were skint as a result of taxes going up, you’d be less likely to give money away where you don’t strictly need to. > [@septimus](#): > > I’m amazed anyone that stupid can operate a keyboard. S/he operates it suspiciously well too, good grammar - that rules out some of the more “playful” internet folk I know from Glasgow 😉 ---

> [@Larry\_Borgia](#): > > It’s taking a long time for the mods to ban this one, given that it has a surprising familiarity with this board and it’s culture and it knows exactly what dopers outrage reflexes are: Transexuality, tipping, and child rearing so far. It’s a pretty skilled troll in terms of getting attention, but it isn’t one for subtlety. As I wrote back on page 2: > [@Loach](#): > > SevenCl is a perfectly built Troll creation. He is systematically pushing every Doper button. I am flabbergasted when I see people falling for it. I’m just waiting for his, “Ask the transperson with a declawed Pitbull” thread. ---

> [@singular1](#): > > Just to add to the story (and to repeat what I posted in the butterfly thread), that picture is a dead and mounted butterfly, pinned to a branch. That picture is as authentic as the pictures of fairies at the bottom of the garden. You have got to be kidding me! I didn’t see your post in the oversized butterfly thread that is is fake… I had posted about mothman in that thread and I felt horrible about the poor and ugly timing of that post. I hope Frosty Camel gets infested with never ending, unexplainable, painful boils all over his body and that he/she lives for fifty years with the condition and no treatment. ---

We probably do the dance a bit longer than we should, but we’re all a bunch of ultra liberals who value free speech and don’t want to ban someone until we have a smoking gun with fingerprints and a purchase receipt.
