I haven’t been here for six months or whatever, stopped in to catch up a bit, and the first thing I saw Susanann. _Seriously?_ What the fuck lady? ---

I swear all I did was ask her, nicely, in a GD thread where she was confidently predicting all sorts of unlikely future economic events, what her education was in economics, or who’s theories she was finding so convincing, and _poof_ - she disappeared! Now I know it was because her PhD is in Comparative Physiological Biological Anatomical Invertibrates (with a specialization on hairless species). She woulda won a Nobel in 1978 if it weren’t for that fucking Asimov… ---

That is her MO - throw out wild-eyed, absolutely lunatic statements, debate with you on superficial aspects of the point for a while, but when she senses she’s been backed into a corner and can’t get out without actually supporting her shit, she bails. You have to attract the batshit slowly, cautiously, by tossing out tantalizing bits of woo and conspiracy theory, until the shy Humanus Batshitus creeps out to take the bait. Confrontation frightens and confuses her (much like Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer), so you have to wait until juuuust the right moment to swing the butterfly net over her head and trap her. I saw it on Mutual of Omaha’s _Wild Kingdom._ ---

This is indeed a long overdue pitting. She has got to be one of the stupidest posters on this board - the post about Asimov stealing from her published paper was especially jaw-dropping. There is no way on gods green earth that that woman studied biology, went to grad school, or did anything else that would remotely qualify her to write a peer-reviewed scientific paper. The fact that she could possibly think that she could claim such a thing and have other people believe her is a prime example of the Dunning–Kruger effect in action. I also remember her charming thoughts in a thread about being childfree by choice: > [@Not having children and your outlook on life](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/not-having-children-and-your-outlook-on-life/556075/337): > > I still stand by my original statement that for most people life is pointless without kids. On the other hand, I dont mean to imply that most people “\*should \*” have kids. Lots, if not most, parents are so poor or so incompetent or so dishonest or so selfish or so lazy or so dumb that I dont think they should have had kids. > > In other words, its “ok” for your life to be pointless and meaningless, esp if you dont know what you are doing. Delightful. ---

As of this writing there are 86 posts in this thread. 6 are mine. > [@ladyfoxfyre](#): > > You are so utterly fucking predictable, and at the same time the singlehandedly most annoying poster on this board. We are doing the equivalent of pointing and laughing at the crazy person on the streetcorner with signs telling us “The World Is Ending” and you have to jump in, yet again, to say, “Well Senorita CrazyBalls over there has a good point”. No, she doesn’t. Are you just congenitally incapable of accurately describing what another poster has said? The purpose of my original post was to show that were inacurately presenting her position on that point. After that I showed how, in that particular instance, she had a good point. This was largely done to show that you were wrong in calling her out as being stupid in regard to that point. As to my posts after that, well, if you only want posts that agree with you, perhaps you might include that in your OP’s. I doubt it will do you any good, but at least you’ll look a tiny bit prescient. Oh, yeah, and if want people like **Bosstone** and **gonzomax** to be able to post unchallenged, you might want to include that too. Of course you’ll do neither because you know as well as I do that the board rules wouldn’t support it and you’d look stupid if you tried…just like you do now for trying to accomplish the same thing only under the radar. If you don’t want me correcting your posts, I would suggest that you try being truthful when you post them. And as far as what I say to subsequent posters, well, them’s the breaks. This is a public message board and people are allowed to post here even if Your Highness finds their posts objectionable. Maybe you should start your own board and then you can ban whoever doesn’t agree with you. But as far as this board goes, I’m afraid you’re going to be quite disappointed if you expect me not to answer people’s posts because you might not like the answer. > [@ladyfoxfyre](#): > > You fucking insane old coot. I would have thought that you would have learned long ago that schoolyard taunts like this have absolutely no effect on me. But then you haven’t done much else in this thread to show that you’re very smart so I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised. > [@kolga](#): > > Oh, has the thread turned into the Starving Artist show? Who could have predicted that? Nope. The ratio of my posts to everyone else is at least 86:6 at this point…and most of those have been in response to things that were said directly to me. ---

**Starving Artist** – if you want to talk about the fucking deficit…THEN START A NEW FUCKING THREAD!!! Jesus Christ!!!

Geez, **SA** , give it a rest please. I know it’s easier without the competition but give the OP a break and stop the hi-jack. On topic, her _“Asimov stole that from me.”_ line really took me aback. That moved her from the ‘bullshitter’ category to the ‘really has a problem’ category. Scary. ---

Not QUITE as whacked out, but there WAS her praise of [Aileen Wuornos](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=2749186&postcount=31). (She can’t even spell the woman’s name right.) Jesus wept. ---

Yanno, funny how things work. This woman wasn’t on my radar at all, until this thread, and I just encountered her in another thread stating things she clearly doesn’t know about. Interesting!
