You god damn bastard! 
X and Y?
You god damn bastard! 
Yes and no.
IFFF I had been reading the thread and some 20 year old frat boy douche weasel home on vacation break who had just recently joined the SDMB had yelled out “Jar Jar Binks is the father of Luke and the love child of Han Solo and Chew Tabbaco” that would be one thing.
But noooo…I (and a few others) got screwed over by a local yokel SDMB denizen that has been here 10 year and has about 10,000 posts.
That fucker knew better.
For that matter, the more I think about it, I think the shit stain has some running blacklist of people he don’t like, saw who was active in the thread, and decide a strict interpretation of the rules and situation would allow him to fuck someone over and get away with it.
It’s like the difference between getting robbed by a random stranger and part of your family.
I will note with some satisfaction that his current avatar looks like Harry Potter getting butt fucked by a bear with a top hat on. A predictive avatar perhaps?
Thanks for the spoiler. Now, when I see a bear with a top hat on, I’ll know that’ it’s time to go to the lobby. And take my time picking just the right five dollar bag of twizzlers. And not re-enter the theater til I hear “How d’ya like that log in your pic-a-nic basket, Mistah Pottahhh?”
I was on the fence about spoiler boxing it.
You know nothing, Sky Watcher.
You like waving red flags at bulls too, don’t you?
They tested that on Mythbusters. The bulls charged at red, blue, and white flags. They didn’t care what color it was. If it was waving, they charged at it.

Back when I was a host for the SD AOL chats, many of the hosts asked Tuba for the tool that would allow us to reach through our monitors so we could give some noisy chatter a slap upside the head. She said Zotti said we couldn’t have that capability, but I suspect Tuba was lying about that. C.K. was always a reasonable guy. Maybe too reasonable.
After Melanie dies, Scarlet finally declares her love for Rhett and he tells her to bugger off.
Yeller gets rabies and Travis has to shoot him.
From Wonkette:
(skipping over some lovely invective since this thread is not devoted to My Jr Senator)
But when it comes to being something that approximates a moderately decent human, forget it. Ted Cruz will kick you while you’re down, he’ll laugh at your grief, he’ll spit in your face, and he will so ruin your carefully protected and long-awaited Star Wars experience because hell yes, in addition to all the many other ways he is an insufferable prick, Ted Cruz is that guy too
Concerning the topic of the OP, I don’t think that banning is necessary for such a dick move. But a little more punishment (as supplied in this thread) seems quite suitable–especially after even more rigamarole.
(Dangerosa’s initial comment initially struck me as irrelevant; of course there are worse problems in the world. But all the mansplaining has caused me to remember certain suspects (not necessarily posting on *this *thread) who are inexplicibly still allowed to pollute this place with their foul stench.)
I was on the fence about spoiler boxing it.
I was teasing (mostly) hence the smilley.
People focus too much on what they can do (“I can talk about all the spoilers I want because this topic is somehow related to spoilers! There’s no law against it! Everybody does it! They’ll get over it! The movie was stupid anyway!”) but don’t focus enough on what they should do (“There might be people who haven’t seen the movie yet, I should be careful. I don’t need to put spoilers here, there’s a dedicated topic for it. I would hate for something I like to be spoiled, so I’m not going to risk it here. I’m not a giant walking asshole”).
Rig, you should have erred on the side of caution.
