The worst of the worst (SDMB version)

Well, that was long-winded, innit?

I loved it.

And I’m going to have to be in the minority and say I enjoy adahar’s presence at the Dope. He’s entertaining, somewhat intelligent and harmless.

I frequent other forums where this is not the case, so yeah, I gotta say, thank god for the willingness of the mods here to exclude people from threads (or the board as a whole) on account of being either unwilling or unable to meaningfully contribute to it.

Surprised Drunky Smurf wasn’t mentioned yet. He’s largely the exception to the above rule.

Mostly harmless.

The exception that proves the rule.

The SDMB and … other places.

And this board would be a feeble board without all who have been mentioned. :wink:

D’Anconia isn’t really on my radar, but you’re spot-on regarding Doorhindge. the smugness he brings to his idiotic posts amazes me.

I’ll toss in russian heel who whines incessantly about problems of his/her own creation.

Can we get some linked examples? I don’t want to have to search through a poster’s history to find something to hate, dammit!

WTF is that, some kinda gay book club?

Shit y’all, I need to up my game. My lies and deception must just be too subtle. Maybe I should pick an obsession. We had some guy obsessed with global warming get banned. Maybe I can take his place.

D’Anconia has zero ability to ever admit he makes a mistake. He first got on my radar for his contemptuous dismissal of the claims of Sylvester Magee. Start at post 45. His skepticism of all of Magee’s claims is all right, but he refuses to budge even an inch, no matter what. Since then, every thread I’ve encountered him in has had the same dynamic: he seems to think that if he admits to the tiniest error, it will destroy his world. He’s an idiot.

You’ve heard of reading tea leaves, right? Same thing, but with cheesy poofs.

You’re welcome, ignorance fought.

Speaking for the other members of the Drunky Smurf Fan Club we think that you should go bite yourself.

What, no** ITR Champion**? He isn’t around a lot anymore but his debate dishonesty still just astounds me. Any thread he starts becomes a trainwreck. I feel bad for the science students he supposedly teaches and the political party he claims to support.

He’s Stephen Colbert’s character without the satire. Sometimes I wonder if he’s a liberal plant.

I tend to avoid threads with Adaher in them, even though I have him blocked, because stupid people keep trying to argue with him and it derails every goddamned thread he’s in.

So really, as bad as he is, the real enemies are the morons who keep engaging him.

I agree with the OP on Guinistasia. I think she’s dialed it back a bit, or at least I don’t tend to see her around as much, but yes, her entire multiple-tens of thousands of posts history is “watch which way the wind is blowing, jump in late to pile-on”.

Smapti has some value in the wrestling threads, but his whole outlook on the world is so painfully damaged that I would not care to be in the same room as him.

Why should D’Anconia budge an inch in that thread? Magee claimed to be 130 years old, which is very unlikely to be true, and to be a former slave, for which the documentation is pretty scanty. You didn’t produce any evidence to overcome the skepticism. Nor did anyone else.

If you want to take those kinds of claims at face value, too bad for you.

It’s always amusing how the much-vaunted skepticism of the SDMB gets turned on and off depending on how much y’all want to believe.

Seconded.

I think she’s charming and that the “pile on” criticism is ironic, even if there is some truth to it. Notice how many of the posters being named are right of center?
