Trolls R Us redux [Now the argument clinic]

Really, who hasn’t heard of not having heard of the Spanish Inquisition?

I didn’t expect that.

No one does.

As an aside, I also know my QI, and when the Spanish Inquisition bit comes up I like to link to the surprising bit that in old Spain… Everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition.

Even little birds quote Monty Python.

Disco, a budgie with a fantastic vocabulary. He has tons of videos on YouTube. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2017.

He’s not dead. He’s resting.

That bird wouldn’t VOOM if you put 10,000 volts through 'im.

Pinin’ for the rainforests, he is…

Beautiful plumage.

I’m pretty sure @discobot was named in his honor.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

Discobot, do you expect the Spanish Inquisition?

:crystal_ball: It is decidedly so

Thank-you, Cochrane, for sharing Disco.

yep, went down that youtube rabbit hole. < was hoping to make that font tinier.

I liked it when he quoted Airplane!

“A parakeet? What is it? A green and yellow bird that talks, but that’s not important right now.”

Guess who just returned to that thread and posted a non sequitur.

And according to his new title, banned for socking.

Yeah, but the comment is just a 24-hour suspension. I guess he could be a sock sitting around for a few years, waiting to be activated. Weird.

Some mods have reported puppeteers creating multiple socks, which the puppeteer would cycle through as each one gets banned.

I assume that What Exit first suspended him, then further review by him or other mods revealed the socking and it was changed to a ban. There’s no reason for them to update the comment in the thread at that point.
