You equate people who disagree with you to mass murderers. You really are a sad, lonely man.

One is never lonely when one has people to troll on the internet. It’s a very social activity.

Demented and sad… but social.

Yep, like I said, the Mollusk is an idiotx2 for also thinking that others (including many whites and some that are not really leftists) are not aware about what he is trying to pull.

He doesn’t care that others know what he’s trying to pull. He gets sufficient jollies out of simply repeating the same stories over and over and over again and pretending that this constitutes some sort of compelling argument.

If it annoys those that prefer a more reality-based viewpoint, that’s a feature, not a bug.

Oh, yeah. I killfiled him and a number of others months or even years ago. Life’s too short to deliberately deal with idiots.

Kudos to the mods for cornfielding a new troll account mid-report, within 3 minutes of the post.

The guy who opened a dozen or more threads within a few hours (under varying names) a few years back?

That’s who I thought (I only saw a few threads because our Stakhanovite moderators worked overtime with the delete button, I guess).

Two users flagged it immediately and I was on, so a quick and fast kill. Less to do with me and more to do with the Spam Detect Team.

I would out them for their great work, but not without their permission.

He showed up _again_? He was here sometime last week. I happened to be up early and was one of enough people to report him that his thread was locked quickly and cornfielded soon afterwards.

Speaking of persistent …

Back on Mar2 we got this bit of sunshine:

I just happened to check his profile today and he has not been seen at all on SDMB since that day. Being banned from QZ was enough to terminate his interest in wasting our time. Good riddance.

My ignore list just shrank a bit.

I wish the sealion would put down papers or train **D’Asshole** to use the litter box or _something_.

He managed to take a fun and light thread and turn it into a slog, and he’s not even right about the law. What a moron.
