Maybe I’m remembering wrong, but I’m pretty sure that it was a rude post about eating a pet that had just died, and that post is exactly that.

I think it was the totality of behavior over time and that was the last straw.

Looks like this was the final straw.

Wow, that is not what I expected there.

That was before my time.

Damn, I love Cthulhu. Too bad that poster had to be such an insensitive asshole at times, because the general schtick would have never gotten old with me.

I couldn’t agree more. I understand why he got banned. I just wish he’d dialed it back because it would be super fun to participate on a message board with Cthulhu.

If someone wants a current odd poster, there’s [iLemming](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=801487) who sounds like he swallowed a thesaurus. In later posts, he adds in a lot of alliteration.

Well, I’m back from my excursion to la-la land. Boy howdy, that backfired somewhat. Sure was interesting, though.

Still, I think that is now officially the worst date I’ve ever been on.

Yup. He said we all begin as clay statues in hell because of the original sin.

I think he belonged to some obscure Quaker sect that eventually kicked him out because he was too loony even for them.

When the stars are right and the spheres align, eh?

I vaguely remember a guy from waaaaaaay back who lamented the fact that chivalric duels were no longer a thing, and went about challenging people to altercations if they insulted him online (fite me IRL, m8!) Anybody remember him? Seems like he got into it with **Satan**.

I was just coming here to add him to the list. DOn’t know if he has the staying power, but he can sure make things interesting…for example, an except from his most recent posting:

> [@](#):
>
> We all know full well that the U.S. hegemonic empire opportunely manifested, faute de mieux from the rubble of World War 2. Verily, we know just as well that the front of ‘greatness’ this capitalistic capitol of global greed has never been more than a tatami-thin facade, hiding a quintuple chinned, morbidly obese, self-soiling, timorous man-child; clinging fretfully to his ‘boomstick’ and bible, lest the earth open up and swallow him and his earthy resource engorging self into condign perdition. Yet, despite being accoutred with this knowledge - with these irrefutable, gospel facts - this organism-like-no-other, seems blissfully dumb and blind to its immanent fate.

If you’re old enough, you’ll know what I mean when I say the Spiro Agnew has returned from the grave…

I was thinking Stephen R. Donaldson, who is still alive. I spotted a “condign” in there, always one of Donaldson’s faves.
