May not be a troll, as it sounds like he’s sincere, but I never knew what a hateful transphobe lumpy was.

Lumpy’s been right-wing for quite a while, AFAICT: [Trump voters: explain yourselves - #137 by Lumpy](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-voters-explain-yourselves/766699/137)

No surprise that he’s also a bigot against trans people.

I spent more time reading that thread. What a transphobic asshole. In fact, he doesn’t like LGB or Q either. Civil rights in general seem to upset him. I’m unsure why he has a hippie avatar, but perhaps he doesn’t grok peace, love and understanding and just thought it was “cute”.

Have we? 'Cause I’d be willing to bet he’s at least a little Q curious.

Talks of eradication, dehumanizing language, etc. is a far cry from the disingenuous calls for defund the police and criminal justice reform. The problem wasn’t that police had powers or were using their powers unjustly. The problem was the dems and their regime weren’t in full control of the security apparatus.

And now he’s [whining about it in ATMB](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/unjust-warning-for-responding-to-dehumanizing-language/969623/2).

Of course the hive can gloat. But if say something about it outside ATMB I’m sure I’ll see yet more of the famed ‘lack of bias’ applied.

Considering the insidious long social game the hive plays this thread is the ultimate in irony.

You know there are many other discussion fora on the internet that would be more to your ideological liking, but even you might find the tone a little stormy.

It’s pathetic to desire to create an echo chamber. I remember a time when exposure to different ideas wasn’t considered so triggering.

Oh really? When? When in human history could people with vastly different political ideas get along swimmingly? Was it during the Civil War? The Revolutionary War? The Hundred Years War? When was this?

People who have different opinions that they feel strongly about will bicker. That’s human nature.

The problem is that you use words like “trigger” which demonize people you disagree with. If someone doesn’t like what you’re saying and object to it, clearly they are fragile little weaklings who can’t handle a different opinion and are “triggered” into a fear response. This is bullshit loaded language.

Octopus, **you can’t handle different ideas**. All you can do when someone disagrees is to call them names and mock them. That’s all you do on this board. You’re pitiful. And worst of all, just like Trump and so many other Republicans, you accuse everyone else of the same reprehensible behavior you engage in. You project so strongly that you’ve become nothing but a caricature, one you’ve drawn yourself.

I’m glad you’re finally flaming out. The thing about dancing on a tightrope for so long is that one day you slip. You’re really slipping now.

Say what where? 'Cause it sure sounds like you are, yet again, complaining about following the rules.  
(Yes, saying something about it, it being how you’ve been moderated one must assume, outside ATMB is against the rules. But you made it clear in your ATMB thread that you only understand the rules you want to.)

The only one who gets triggered is you. You seem to like to consider yourself as the island of sanity in an ocean of liberal nonsense. Like some stoic Lee Marvin, fighting against the hordes of left-wingers.

In truth, you’re the metaphorical pigeon that plays chess. You shit on the conversation, and like to think that that means you win. You wouldn’t know what to do if you actually tried to engage in an actual, rational debate.

I for one am delighted that the hive mind (sorry I missed the last meeting, my shadowy cultist attire was at the cleaners) has picked its next target.

What’s the cephalapod equivalent to liberal tears? Inky discharge?
