Probably more a regrettable moment of absentmindedness. After enough time, even the most vigilante and attentive trolls forget to stay scripted.

Now you know why Clothahump really means it when he says that threads here don’t make any sense. It’s like reading every tenth sentence from a book and then complaining that the author is a moron.

I’m probably blocked, so even quoting this wont’t help, but maybe somebody might ask him how many dopers he actually have blocked. It must be dozens, hundreds maybe as he’s been here 17 years… and somehow I don’t think there’s that many banned ex-dopers…  
( He must have an excellent memory to instantly know which quotes not to read, considering the amount of blocked persons )

There’s still a place for the blocked poster’s post. There’s a statement that this poster has been blocked and a place to click on to read the post if you want.  
No need to remember.

If you guys are done beating that dead Clothahump…

Wingnuts in the hinterlands are sending hate mail, including death and rape threats, to random Shakespeare companies all over the country, reduced to gibbering rage by the Trumpened production of _Julius Caesar_ from the Public Theater, which is being performed in New York’s Central Park only.

…to extent that Laura Ingraham publicly stated that “if some theater company had put Obama in the role, there would have been outrage from the left!” (Paraphrased)

I’m aware that non-education is really big on the right these days, but seriously? These people never read (or saw a production) of JC?

I’m partial to the 1953 movie, myself. Starring James Mason, Marlon Brando, John Gielgud, Louis Calhern, Edmond O’Brien, Greer Garson, and Deborah Kerr.

_Julius Caesar_ is not a pro-assassination play. Far from it.

I think she was just channeling **adaher**. 🙂

I still have the theory that the universe is **so** insulted by the asinine ignorance that many conservatives spew that it makes wormholes in time and space to change bits of the past or to allow past evidence to be found easier by their critics just to show the conservatives that they are dead wrong instead of just mostly wrong. 🙂

You do realize you just contradicted yourself, right? You only could possibly know to respond to that if you’d read his post.

He called you on something that actually got you suspended. He gave you chance after chance to take it back, and prove you weren’t just using slurs to troll. He was being _ **nice** _ by giving you any chance at all.

I gave up on you long ago. You are on my ignore list. I admit to reading what people quote from you, though, since it’s usually hilariously bad.

I just looked at his profile. He’s a taekwondo instructor. For some reason I find that hilarious.

That is why I always think that when he began to learn he was an Ed Grubberman.

You should see his McDojo website. Lots of young kids with black belts.
