But then it will get really weird… “To beat **TheFonz** , you’ve gotta **be TheFonz**! Woooh!!”?? :dubious: ---

I was on an airplane with The Fonz once. Creepy little fucker skeeved me right out. He kept standing up to face the rest of the cabin and stare at everyone. I hate that little fucker. I wanted to throw him back into his chair and forcibly strap him in. ---

Jeeze Louise, just ban this fuckwit already. He’s had multiple warnings, continues to bait people, and legit posters are starting to get pissed, respond in kind and get themselves warned. This is bullshit. The guy is an obvious, self admitted troll. Pull the damn trigger. ---

Actually, is it OK if I revise my earlier assessment? SeeThruArt was a quirky, entertaining nutcase with a fair degree of originality. TheFonz is just an annoying wanker. ---

In other words, your arguments in this thread (designed to get us to agree with what you consider to be a truth of the universe) are an immoral act under your belief system. Would you agree? > [@TheFonz](#): > > Yeah… This is a moral dilemma I’ve been having for a while now. To promote truth, or not to promote truth?

I DO need to stop posting. **Revenant Threshold** has got him in a paradox. God I hope this works. ---

It’s times like this that I regret our Founding Fathers and subsequent constitutional amendments gave everyone the same amount of votes. I mean, theoretically, I have the same say in our government as **TheFonz**. Bummer. On second thought, I doubt he is smart enough to fill out a voter registration form. ---

We need to frame conventional knowledge in a picture book. That way he’ll walk away contented and leave us alone. Seriously: he backs most of his arguments with pictures. Look at the pretty pictures! ---

Based on some of the more recent stuff he’s posted, I’m revising my opinion. I don’t think he’s a troll anymore, I think he is genuinly in the first stages of schizophrenia, or some sort of delusional disorder. ---

I thought he jumped the dinosaur when he explained how the electric Jesus descended from Krypton. YMMV. ---

He may enjoy ruffling feathers, but this is because he genuinely sees himself as fighting erroneous theories and an evil conspiracy to control human knowledge. He reminds me of **L_k_tt** except that **TheFonz** doesn’t disguise ‘screw you’ as ‘bless you’. ---

Fuck yourself with a rusty chainsaw. I calls 'em like I sees 'em, Troll-boy. This is a mock the crazy poster thread, you’re the one dragging partisan politics into it. I can’t see why you’d do that, unless you’re trying to rile up us liburuls. I mean, theFonz is more concerned about Electric Suns and dinosaurs as dragons than he is about George Bush and Hillary Clinton. Oh, but he did have that Ken Lay thread (by far the least insane of his musings, at least it’s physically possible that Lay lives. or was murdered, or whatever the hell he was suggesting) where he suggested that George Bush may have had Ken Lay killed and/or smuggled Lay out of the country. You seemed awfully offended at the implication. Nevermind that no one was taking it seriously, really. You had to step up to Bush’s defense. Sometimes it’s not about politics. Yeah, this is a pretty liberal board, but that doesn’t mean you have to play the stalwart conservative martyr all the fucking time. Give it a rest every now and again. ---
