Whoa. Good to know. I thought he was just trying to get a rise out of people for his other thread not going his way. (“Loving the response from my Senator”).
As I recall from more than 10 years ago,
duffer’s MO was to post stupid shit, get shown to be wrong, and slink away to the next thread to rinse, lather, repeat.
CMC
Yep, you called it, alright.
He’s very much reminding me of some middle-class, pimply suburban teen with an anarchy t-shirt, feeling oh, so very rebel, listening to Metallica all the while.
Well, yeah. Been listening to Metallica for almost 30 years. You nailed that one. Good job
Well, 30 years of Metallica and you’re still being mistaken for a pimply teen. So good job you.
I see @pool has discovered a new way to troll, aided by the Discourse software. If he gets enough of his insults flagged, (as in the Clusterfuck thread now) the software automatically locks the thread for 3 (?) hours, which no doubt awards him the same satisfaction that a 3yr old gets by running away and refusing to share his toys.
This software feature should be disabled in the pit, if only so that other trolls do not jump on the bandwagon.
Hey I responded to my critics, I genuinely didn’t know that feature of the software was still an issue, I thought it had been fixed.
I think the wetware feature should be disabled, in every forum.
By wetware I mean pool.
Woot! Thank you, Mods!
I’m gonna miss him.
I reopened the thread when I saw it had been closed, not because we wanted more posts from pool, but to conform to previous policy.
The pool has been drained? I will not miss him. I’d hope the door hit his ass on the way out, but I don’t think the door has done anything to deserve that.
Hey be easy on viley misogynist cat-torturers.
He only recently came to my attention (with his hilarious mis-read of Tom Cotton’s slavery thing). Was he bad elsewhere?
ETA: Jeez, he joined in 2002? Did he have a stroke or something? What led to his recent misbehavior?
I first noticed some of his statements that were beyond the pale a few years ago, but in the last two days he had a total meltdown in several threads.
In this thread from February, he got warned for repeatedly taunting @margin over her recently-deceased cat (and more).
I do hope it was something we said.
You’d think there would be an ATMB thread about warnings and suspensions. He’s been around for 18 years.
Give the mods a little time, I’m sure such a thread is coming.
