I’m so sick and tired of encountering this person’s mind-numbingly stupid threads, the latest of which is: > > [Why Are Some Lesbians So Mean?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-are-some-lesbians-so-mean/917853/15) I guess I’ve been lucky. I read this thread and was startled by it. But I didn’t realize the poster is a regular. I thought he was some new guy. ---

I thought this thread was going to be about this clueless thread… [Could President Trump’s Appeal to Racism Be His Draw?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/could-president-trumps-appeal-to-racism-be-his-draw/917637) Ya think? ---

A prison slang term I learned recently (from a book! honest!) is “spoon”, for someone who’s always stirring things up. Sort of “troll lite”. I haven’t looked at this Jim B’s posts (have enough _tsuris_ already, thank you very much) but that might apply if he’s not full-on trolling. ---

From Jimby’s _“Poor me, a woman that I assumed was a lesbian was mean to me”_ thread: > And I think I posted some pretty good threads in the past. No one has complained yet. 🙂 Consider this to be a complaint. From… well, everyone you’ve ever met. ---

I get an _Uncanny Valley_ sense to the pittee’s posts, and have for years. I’ve tried to give him sensible advice on medical topics he’s raised but never seem to get a sense that I’ve reached him in any meaningful way. As a result I tend to disregard his postings, though sometimes I still get drawn in. ---
