See, I don’t get that. The thought process would have to be _This guy doesn’t seem on the level, better suspend him now and then look for evidence of socking_ - which seems rather strange to me. (Though I also presume he’s probably a sock, BTW) j ---

Heck, it’s such a good autocorrect I might even try to claim it as totally intentional. Honest. Can’t you see I’m winking? Because the pseudo-woke are so thinly veiled in their contempt of equity and equality that they might as well be naked. Not fooling anyone, you see? ---

That’s just great! Now we’ll never know why people weren’t allowed to sit on the freakin’ furniture, not that he would have divulged that info anyway. He probably would have continued doing that same kind of shit in other posts and threads, so I guess I’m glad he was vaporized. ---

> [@gadzookery](#): > > Well now that THIS is over my only point of contention is applauding posters for calling the troll “names”. Let’s not encourage sinking to his level… You joined a year ago, but this is only your 14th post. You have posted in 4 threads, and 3 of those threads also include posts by stuccosuperstar2020. I find these facts… interesting. They could, of course, be explained by shared interests. What are your views about definitely black women sitting on chairs on which seating is prohibited for secret reasons? ---
