Aw, drat. I was typing a humorous (to me, at least) response in the most recent anti-BLM thread started by chesterv and halfway through my response, the thread got sent to the cornfield. ---

I’m starting to wonder if our new right-wing friend is the return of an old right-wing friend, sending his regards. Post 112 in the “This is how you blow a winnable election” thread is exactly the sort of “blatant and deliberate misinterpretation of another poster” that our departed colleague used to do on a regular basis. ---

Registered in 2012, posted four times in '14, twice in '18, twice this past December, once in January, once in February, and became really active last month. That posting history suggests either an alternate account for someone recently banned or a sleeper troll. ---

Just noticed this: > **[Danny\_Hammer](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/danny_hammer/summary)** Once again, thank you mods. I really don’t get it. I could see how, if I was in a bad place for a bit and went on a tear and got myself banned somehow, I may find myself sneaking back in. But I’d be keeping things well under the radar, a low profile, not just trolling up the place over and over. Is Canada that boring that he really doesn’t have anything better to do? ---

In the thread about Chadwick Boseman’s (Black Panther actor) tragic death from colon cancer, **HammondsCollapse** says in post #24, > I’m sure the guy was a fine actor and everything but I gotta admit that I find it weird CNN has his death at the top headline and says “with Chadwick Boseman’s passing, there is an added layer of grief for Black America” uhhh what? ---

Ah, I just thought I heard a Canadian accent coming from under the bridge. Next time, I’ll see if I can get them to say “Sorry”, so that I can be sure. ---
