Not really, I’m afraid. Posters are allowed to post to any thread, unless it’s on a subject they’ve been specifically enjoined from posting on. **Smapti** is not currently under any sort of prohibition, and at any rate, it takes more than acting like a monstrous, subhuman douche in one thread on a topic before we lay down a subject ban like that. We haven’t even stopped him from spreading his fascist, boot-licking bile in police-related threads yet, and he’s far more fecund in that area. As far as I know, this is the first time he’s revealed his base, vile, and sociopathic nature in a trans-related thread.

If you have any interest in self-improvement, read up on various transgender-related topics and try like hell to cure your bigotry. Insisting a gay person is not really gay is bigoted, and insisting that a transgender woman is not really a woman is also bigoted. Biological sex is different than gender.

Now I have this mental image of Smapti and [Jerome Corsi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Corsi) stuck in a transdimensional corridor, at each other’s throats for all eternity.

Well, Smapti has successfully made the “Good for you, CNN,” thread all about him. Yay.

Yeah, like a bulldog troll like you would want to be known in meatspace. Sometimes aliases protect you.

If the second, wow.

I believe he never acted on his urges, but I might be wrong.

Didn’t his ultimate banning come because he propositioned an underage board member? Or am I thinking of somebody else?

Would you call a transgender person by their chosen pronoun if it would prevent an act of pedophilia? Because apparently you wouldn’t do so to prevent a suicide…

Talking sense to Smapti is like showing a card trick to a fucking dog. All you do is baffle it and rile it up. It’s easier to just call him stupid.

While reading yet another multipage threadshit by Douchenozzle I realized there HAD to be a thread in the pit with his name in it already.

because what the fuck, Does he have a trick other than spouting bullshit in the name of getting attention?

Hes one of those posters who manages to single handedly fuck up an entire god damn forum with his phobictrollshitidiocy. And you Can’t really ignore him, he posts so much that people respond to him endlessly.

That was some other guy – he was actually a registered sex offender. This guy was – so he claimed – a pedophile, who had never acted on it. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t a disgusting asshole, but according to him, he hadn’t actually done anything.

What does that have to do with there being a difference between sex and gender? I acknowledge that transgendered people have differences in their brains. It doesn’t change what they are.
