And you have reminded me that I have all the ingredients (it’s my favorite drink)… if I cheat a little. No oranges, but I do have Cointreau.

So now the house is empty, the chores are done, a springtime walk has been taken… and it’s my turn to sip a Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet.

I’m toasting all the trolls here… may you grow up and find a better hobby.

Now after Timothy Newsome tries to derail the Tiger thread with his [nasty attacks](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tiger-woods-in-very-serious-car-crash/933579/76), Tiberius Nero pops in to whine about “black privilege”. I reported the socking. They even made the names similar for crying out loud.

> He has always been the beneficiary of black privilege-jock division. Even in this…getting away with two previous automobile accidents with chemicals involved, having the media fawn over him while criticizing other golfers for doing the same things like temper tantrums on the course, bending rules on amateur play, support from the odious company Nike (naturally). Does commercials saying there were places where he couldn’t play…really Tiger-where? I suppose it is a shame what happened to him but there aren’t even any skid marks…guy worth hundreds of millions can’t afford a driver and leaves his previous place in a hurry…grow up. Roads aren’t video games or bumper cars at amusement parks. At least no innocent people in other cars or pedestrians/bicyclists were hurt.

I doubt that. People troll like that because they don’t even like themselves.

[Evidently suspended again](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-that-happened-whedons-history-of-creating-toxic-and-hostile-work-environments/932735/245) but no change in status so far. Maybe TPTB plan to have him go straight from “guest” to “banned”.

Well, Smelly (Aji) was just banned, Aji de Gallina had stopped being a climate change denier and finished being a troll to minimize what the fascists designers for the Republicans are designing.

Why is that crank magnets start with things like climate change denial only to end minimizing what fascists do?

Anyhow, in other news, the **SayTwo** troll was banned from the Quarantine Zone forum. This day got really better.

Paul Krugman has an article somewhere that it’s all of a piece. Once you start denying the reality of climate change, or claiming the COVID pandemic is a hoax, or that it was antifa that attacked the Capitol, etc., you’re basically in a post-truth world and will accept whatever your leaders tell you.
