Oh, I was going to add that I probably had done so in some other thread, but can’t really remember any, so it probably wasn’t very recent.

Oh, I don’t know about that. **[Treat](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=728313)** came pretty damn close.

He was witnessing. Having strong religious beliefs doesn’t necessarily impair your ability to function in society. I can’t imagine **Ecmandu** being able to have any human contact that doesn’t completely scare the other person away.

\*Hey, I was noticing you across the room, and wanted to gently talk to you about my theory that women are the cause of men committing suicide. It all starts with women being psychopaths… \*

I stand corrected. I shouldn’t lump the Ecmandu sociopath crazy with the Treat religious zealot crazy.

I think he needs Haldol. Seriously. Or maybe Risperdal. Or both. I’m not trying to be flippant. I really think this guy needs to be on anti-psychotics. Quickly. Before he kills a woman. OK, the last bit was a little flippant, but I really think this guy is not living in the same reality as the rest of us.

Your comment needed more :smack:s. I think there that thread established a 5 “facepalm” minimum. I’m on page 5 and trying my best not to laugh at my desk.

Thanks to the OP I now have a bastardized ABBA song going through my head:

_There was something in the air that night  
Now what the fuck, **Ecmandu**?_

I’m single and doing alright. But I don’t think I’m hooking up with 90% of the available women. I am nice. Also a bartender, that always helps.

Yeah, the rest of us guys can hear the females chanting in the distance, “_All hail The BoozeMaster!_”, and hope in vain to get your leftovers at the end of the night. 😃

Hey, I can get you a job. No need to be mean! 😃

It’s more like we get the leftovers at the end of the night.

The linked thread was worth the read just for QuickSilver’s “self-correcting mutation” observation. I will absolutely be stealing that for later use.

Not necessarily flippant. Elliot Rodgers was cut from the same cloth. MRA idiots are the worst.
