Yeah-I told him he was about as subtle as a bowling ball tossed through a window. ---

I’m pretty stunned he wrote what he did. ---

I think it’s a bad thing and shouldn’t happen. But I will still cheer about it if it does. ---

18 years between joining and banning-is that a record? And was he always like this? I don’t recall any truly stupid crap from him until these last few months or so. ---

He’s a pretty serious Trump supporter, which gets harder and harder to defend rationally. However, his contributions in non-political threads seemed OK. Note in this case he asked to be banned. He wasn’t banned for cause. ---

Right, I did see that. I guess I meant it wasn’t a total flame out – it was partial, plus the request. I know you guys don’t usually ban people who request it, but I guess he was on the edge anyway. ---

PartialGrape seems “nice”, by which I mean bigoted and very trockish. ---

You guys know this is either a creep or a troll (or both) who posts this nonsense on multiple forums and has been doing so for years (including on this very forum [under a slightly different name](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/jakeyjake/summary)), right? > [@Do you dislike people who step on bugs?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-dislike-people-who-step-on-bugs/922762): > > This thread is inspired by an earlier one I made about attitudes and behavior towards less powerful or less significant beings. Firstly, I’m the kind of guy who steps on bugs, not around them. If there’s a bug in my house; I don’t “rescue it.” I squash it, then flush it. So, that’s my very non-objective starting off point on the subject, and I just want to be upfront about that. stuck_out_tongue With that said, on to the meat and potatoes: Over the course of time I have noticed a small yet … Stop feeding him. ---

It’s clear to me it’s more the drawn out discussion he’s interested than anything. Whether it’s because he’s a troll, it’s some kind of fantasy he likes to dwell on, or “other” is anyone’s guess. Mostly, though, I feel bad for people who seem to be engaging him in discussion and (wrongly, in my view) assuming he is being fully sincere/posting in good faith. He’s not. ---

He seems to just want to insult people who respond to him in both threads. ---

So, a sock with two accounts, both of which troll on the same two variants of basically one creepy topic. Why is he allowed to still be here? ---

I didn’t know it was the same guy, but I know any talk about stepping on bugs from a new guy is likely to be a fetishy thing.
