Nine years of thread, and still under a million posts. Pathetic. I see OP Clothahump’s been banned. That’s a little sad. I kinda enjoyed the guy in his own weird way. Didn’t he own a martial arts studio, or similar? ---

Shodan is still with us? Good, I enjoyed his crazy a lot. Even Sam Stone is still here! The dumb ones are just annoying. ---

Probably because of the martial arts connection. (Also the Dunning Krugar exemplification). ---

Probably because of the martial arts connection. (Also the Dunning Krugar exemplification). One thing I’ll give Clothahump, he owned it. He didn’t try to hide behind his screenname at all. He’d probably win the “the most open about his real life identity” award. ---

I think that’s best, over all. I see no good reason why I should share my experiences as a porn star. ---

With the caveat that it hasn’t been proven to be politically motivated yet, I wanted to make note of this. A guy in Florida drove his truck into a tent where Trump supporters were holding a voter registration drive. The driver then filmed himself flipping off the volunteers. Luckily no o e was hurt. Again, no motive has been established, and maybe this guy is just a garden variety sociopath. But, since its at least a strong possibility, and since participation on this thread is anemic, here ya go. Whatever the motive, fuck this guy. I hope he is punished to the full extent of the law. > **[Man accused of driving through Republican voter registration tent arrested](https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2020/02/08/police-van-drives-through-republican-partys-voter-registration-tent/)** > > Officers with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office are looking for a brown Chevrolet van they said drove through a tent Sunday where volunteers were registering people to vote. ---

I’m sure the lying con man will be along any time now to announce that there were good people on both sides of that. Me, I think it was bad and hope no one was hurt, and that the driver is prosecuted. ---

But seriously, fuck that guy - he could have killed a lot of people with this stunt.
