Don’t worry, he’ll stick around; he doesn’t care what people think of him here, and he’s made hundreds of lengthy posts reminding us of that fact.

But is it okay to remark on how much **adaher** has grown in the past four years, so much that I _ **no longer** _ want to punch him in the face? 😉

Why? Has he grown tall enough so it’s easier to punch him in the throat?  
Just kidding. I hope this is not perceived as even a remote indication of being pro-violence, but the set-up is just too tempting.

You didn’t see the Paterno thread. _shudder_ I’ll never look at a cardboard tube the same way again.

How about the posters who get told over and over that something they do is insulting or annoying?

“Let’s go down to the quarry”, “hahaha”, “Drumpf”, even **Bricker** and **adaher** ’s knee-jerk “Well, liberals do it too!”

Although one sig was only annoying til I figured it out. I’d be reading posts like “It wasn’t a cat, it was a gopher. mmm” and think “Wait… this poster not only eats gophers but thinks they’re delicious?”  
Finally I checked who was posting those and noticed those were posts by **Mean Mr. Mustard**. :smack:

**GIGobuster** is easily 20 times smarter than you. Even your idiot troll mentor was smarter than you, and he made a lobotomized gopher look like Stephen Hawking. You’re another pinhead that needs to be added to the list.

Well his new “mean” moniker doesn’t do him any favors in that regard.

There’s no need to audition when you’ve already got the gig.

I had quotes around “economics” and “feminism” because his definition of those terms does not match everyone else’s reality. I am perfectly happy to call him a narrow-minded, misogynistic bastard if that’s clearer. I could add some other words if anyone else wants further details. 😃

I suspect **Bricker** some times uses us as practice, both for defending things he doesn’t necessarily believe in and for looking all lawyerly while doing so.

I never thought of that but it actually makes sense. I have sometimes felt almost like I was arguing against someone who was practicing debating techniques (I once accused him of “bullshit sophistry”) but I thought that he was just someone who had strong beliefs and refused to budge on them.

We apparently missed **Handsome Harry** in our round up.

[thread=791015]hh defends his not-nazism[/thread], in reaction to an old thread he apparently missed until right now. (I think he’s lonely.)

Sorry, sorry. I misspelled his user name. It should read **handsomeharry**. Who apparently is a Nazi who leans towards being a holocaust denier.
