> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Nah, nobody’s calling you a troll; it’s just this one guy that you don’t get along with. That’s true. And to be fair, he didn’t actually call me a troll; just “complete lowlife slime.” I’ve been called worse, by better people. I think it’s probably the first time I’ve ever been grouped with **UrbanRedneck** and **octopus** ; I’m not sure if that grouping says more about me, or about **Siam Sam**. > [@kaylasdad99](#): > > (btw, are you still in California? Nope; living in Connecticut for the moment, although I’m still actually employed by the California State University. We moved out here so my wife could take a new job. For all of the horrendous medical and social and economic costs that coronavirus has wrought on the United States, it has actually made my own life somewhat easier; if it were a normal semester, I would have rented a room in California and spent the semester apart from my wife, but with remote instruction I can do all my work from the east coast. ---

I would like to go on the record as saying that **mhendo** is definitely someone I don’t remember actively disliking. Mind you, I can say the same thing about **Siam Sam**. ---

Sorry, I don’t time to read your post so I’ll just assume you said something unbelievably fucking stupid, just like you’re doing while shitting all over the pink tax thread. I know I could probably take the time to read your one line, but there are a lot of letters, so I’ll just go ahead with my assumption. I checked with my wife while she was busy shopping non-stop to find the best deal on every possible item and she agrees that you’re unbelievably fucking stupid, and calling your contributions to that thread moronic would be an insult to morons. ---

I’ve got no doubt that **thickpancreas** typed all his responses in the “Pink Tax” thread with one hand. I’m sure the way he thinks he pwned all us libruls and feminazis is giving him a lovely tight feeling in his fitted and tailored jeans. Hey, you enjoy stroking your little troll-boner, friend; knock yourself out. As for me, in 17 years as a Doper, I’ve never put someone on my ignore list. Until now.
