Someday someone is going to put me up a wall in The Pit, and I won’t even know the thread existed until I find it. Someday.

Why would that have been exempt from the long/shot scale differences?

The fake quad, Mkay, Nkay (something like that) and the hilarious poster who publicly mourned her even faker death.

Sorry I don’t remember any names, but one day there was a mild debate about nothing too interesting between Mr. A and Mr. B, both of whom had about 60-80 total prior posts in their histories. At some point, Mr. A said something that made no sense coming from him, but would have been just like Mr. B to say. After a dozen or so more points and counterpoints, Mr. C entered to suggest A and B were in fact just one poster arguing with himself, who had goofed and tried to bury his mistake under an avalanche of follow-ups (so far, so normal, right?).

But now Mr. D, with over 3000 lifetime posts under his belt, arrived to agree with Mr. C approximately thus: “you know, I think you’re right! I bet that’s JUST what happened!”. Whereupon Mr. E (an admin) announced that Messrs. A, B, and D had all just been banned.

The thread then quickly petered out.

That was **umkay**. Here’s the thread she started:

I don’t think she’s been mentioned yet, but years ago, we had a poster named **Claudia VonL** , who defended the telemarketing industry, and who was famously taken down by **Cervaise** in this thread:

> **[The Telemarketer Speaks. I Respond.](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=51270)**
>
> In this GD thread, Claudia VonL replies to everyone who complains about telemarketers by posting one of the most asinine, poorly reasoned, incompetently written messages I’ve ever seen on the SDMB. And yes, that includes the infamous JDT, so that’s...

(Note that **Cervaise** links to **Claudia** ’s arguments in the first post of his thread.)

ETA: If we ever set up a “SDMB Hall of Fame,” I nominate **Cervaise** ’s “The Telemarketer Speaks, I Respond” thread for inclusion.

**kanicbird** has some well, unconventional beliefs. For instance:

[li]A man and a woman become one when they are married. If they have disharmony, it is a sickness of the one body, not two differing opinions.[/li][li]Children inherit the sins of their parents, all the way back to Adam.[/li][li]Humans begin as statues of clay in hell.[/li][li]Medical science has misled us from seeing demons possessing people.[/li][/ul]

Interesting how half the posters in that thread are banned.

Melin was pretty odd.

Legion was fun with the Marianas Trench.

Cesario was a prick as our nicks were so similar (it was suggested I use a tag “Not the kiddy Diddler”)

Can anyone find the guy who claimed he came up with “Supercalifragiliciousexpialidotious” based on a random assortment of letter blocks? It was in response to one of Cecil’s columns. Pretty damn odd…

Well, given there’s a new snark thread, I figured I’d do my part by being a little “odd”, and revive this one!🙂

And speaking of odd…Why, that **Vinyl Turnip** _sure is_ the oddest fellow!

No?

Too perfect a setup.

I suspect a new occurrence of the “Mr. A and Mr. B” situation described in this thread’s first page.

Well, I invented the word “The” and I demand that you all stop using it RIGHT NOW!

All those previous linguistic references? Fraud. They were back-filled into literature, movies and sound after I invented the word in 1982, because it was such a useful word.
