Ask her if she shakes hands though BEFORE you hit on her. Otherwise, all hell will break loose.

Oh my, now I’m looking through her posting history. I really shouldn’t be doing that, I know. Does it make me a stalker? It feels a bit like I’m going through her underwear drawer. Mostly, it’s just normal, surprisingly boring underwear. I’m finding some [gems](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13365557&postcount=1) in there, though. Wow.

I hope someone explained to her that 2 16 year olds having sex is not rape-- unless they shook hands first.

Tell me Martin are you or have you ever been responsible for any teenagers? If so you should know about situations like this:

> **['Sexting' lands teen on sex offender list - CNN.com](https://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/04/07/sexting.busts/index.html)**
>
> When Vanessa Hudgens' naked photos hit the Internet, the "High School Musical" star quickly apologized. But sending nude or seminude pictures, a phenomenon known as sexting, is a fast-growing trend among teens.

> **[Teens Face Child Porn Charges… For Taking Nude Photos Of Themselves](https://www.techdirt.com/2009/01/20/teens-face-child-porn-charges-for-taking-nude-photos-of-themselves/)**

My nephew could have easily found himself in the middle of a situation such as above. It is not batshittery to take whatever steps are necessary to protect a teenager you are responsible for.

Somehow I missed this fun thread earlier.  
Thanks for the link to that monkey thread, **Biggirl** ; it was worth reading this whole thread for that one. Well, that and the ringing analprobe or whatever it was earlier.

You’re off topic for this thread. Or more precisely, you’re on topic, but your post isn’t.

With the powers vested in me as the OP I now pronounce no one shall add to this derail. 😃

I apologize again for creating the derail. However, now I also feel bad for creating a situation where I talked about \*\*ZPG \*\*behind her back, in what might be seen as a disapproving manner, and then she got slapped for defending herself. That is not fair. Again, my bad.

To possibly un-fuck the situation somewhat, I have started a thread [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=802185).

I now return you to your regularly scheduled odd posters thread.

Late to the thread, but I don’t think anyone else caught this one:

I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of **justhink**. I don’t have the patience to dig through his old threads, but IIRC it eventually came out that he was using some sort of text generator to write his posts for him and he was banned for posting in bad faith.

He sticks in my mind because I played a role in getting his sock puppet banned a while later. I don’t remember the sock’s username, but soon after appearing this “new” poster said something like “People have compared me to **justhink** …” I did a little searching and quickly established that no one had ever said any such thing, reported him as a possible sock, and after the Mods did a little behind the scenes checking the sock was banned.

Holy shit, I forgot about that guy. I hope he got help, that was some hardcore crazy. The one I was thinking of was SnakesSpirit or whatever. He was always talking about the occult and then I think he was banned after he started this thread talking about he had been emasculated in Vietnam, or something like that.

Anyone remember GuyInBlueJeans? I couldn’t find his threads, but he claimed he had visions of Jesus as a kid, and that Satan told him to kill people, and he was molested by demons. (He was another one who was banned, IIRC)

Can someone please remind me who the poster was that was convinced they knew who the next incarnation of Jesus was, and we’d all find out about him when he got older?

Re **SnakesSpirit**

AFAIK, he was banned for his habit of starting a GD thread in GQ. When the thread was closed or moved, he’d reword the OP and post it as a new thread in IMHO, MPSIMS, and ATMB. He came back as a **OphidanGhost**. I, and presumably others, saw through this brilliant disguise.

RE **GuyInBlueJeans**

He was **GrahamWellington** It wasn’t obvious for a long while, then he began posting his delusions. These were identical to those of GW- the same book about remembering satanic ritual abuse, the same reference to a line in The Doors etc.

Thanks. You can’t link to a search, so I found the [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=434266) where he goes off the rails. Page three is where it gets really interesting.

Just FYI, the page breaks are dependent on your settings. It’s not safe to assume that everyone sees the same pagination in a thread.

Everyone normal views 50 posts per page. Anyone who has their pagination set differently is by definition an odd poster and shouldn’t be reading this thread.
