Trolls R Us redux [Now the argument clinic]

Thanks, discobot!

Can this thread get any more surreal?

@discobot fortune

:crystal_ball: As I see it, yes

Okay then!

Walking through obstacles is pretty surreal. Congratulations!

Like brick walls, large holes and supervisors?

I want him fighting wabid wild wobots within a week!

Not just walking through, but they’re melting. Not unlike a certain well-known surrealist painting:

@discobot is becoming self-aware. I’d really hate to be @kaylasdad99 right about now

He has a wife you know. Do you know what her name is?

Incontinentia…

But WHY? Then you could know American Sign Language AND Braille!

DubstepaBot…

No he isn’t. He can be grumpy, but no more than many other posters. And he usually knows what he’s talking about. Do you have any examples of him being a “piece of shit?” Because otherwise I’m guessing that he schooled you on something and you just resent it.

Say what you want about Discourse, but one thing it does better is searches like this. It’s pretty easy to find posts where one poster is quoting another.

So here are my guesses for how mhendo ended up on Sam’s shit list (yes, I’m procrastinating other work).

Wow! I didn’t realize that I was being discussed in this thread!

I guess there’s a certain pride to be taken in learning that you’re on someone’s shitlist, but that pride is sort of dampened when you learn that the person in question is someone of basically no consequence in your board experience, someone who you never even think about unless you’re directly replying to one of his posts.

I might be a lot of things, but I’m definitely not a troll. Look through my thousands of long and rigorously-argue posts on this board and that will become clear to anyone with more then three functioning neurons.

I’d be quite interested to know exactly which post/s put me over the edge and onto his list. I mean, of the first three instances quoted by TroutMan, the most recent one is four years old, and the oldest was more than a decade ago. As for the most recent one, if someone is going to take offense at the suggestion that Thailand is a bit lacking when it comes to religious and political freedom, then that’s probably someone I’m happy to be ignored by.

Nah, nobody’s calling you a troll; it’s just this one guy that you don’t get along with.

(btw, are you still in California? I was wondering if you’d be weighing in on the ballot propositions this year. I’ve already got my list of Ys and Ns made up, but I’ve always valued your analyses. But ISTR that you’ve accepted a position elsewhere)

That’s just what a troll would say.

:wink:

Nobody cares about “thousands of long and rigorously-argue posts”. All it takes is for someone to accuse you of being a goat-fucker and you’ll be denying it for the rest of your days.

That’s not me saying it, son. I only know what I heard. :wink:
