Sure they can see the latest posts. But there’s nothing there to indicate that it’s _ **about them** _. Unless, of course, one is a trock eagerly examining . Cheers!

Infinity - the number of creatures smarter than icantdance  
Nothingness - the value contained within icantdance’s posts.

Damn, and I was going to simply reply with 3,2,1, which I probably wouldn’t have gotten off a second before @What_Exit’s excellent work.

Woe is me.

What did dolphinwriter get banned for? I was only reading at stolen elections thread. Seemed like garden variety gish galloping but nothing we don’t see from long time posters.

He had already been warned for ignoring mod instructions and offensive behavior in the the ‘Delay of Prosecution’ thread - getting two warnings out of it (one for each) and a thread ban. Combined with his less than a month activity and combative attitude, it is no surprise.

His actions and familiarity of the board suggests possible Sock as well, but could be garden variety Troll as well.

IIRC, they also functionally asserted that they weren’t interested in debate in their GD thread.

If dolfinwriter wasn’t trolling, they were mentally disturbed. I kind of felt bad for the pile-on because I think they were not right in the head. I’m not saying that as an insult either, I’m being sincere.

I almost posted something in that P&E thread but I was worried it wouldn’t be received well by anyone there, mods included.

S/he was claiming to not be a Trump supporter and yet kept JAQing off about the Big Lie assertations and pulling the bothsidesism card. I figured they were either not quite right in the head or just a regular Republican talking out both sides of their ass again.

Reading that thread I was under the impression, more than once, that we might have had a real died in the wool Q believer. Or someone doing a really good impression of one.

Yeah, I’m very slightly uncomfortable with the quick ban on that one. I got a slightly more deeply deluded Trumper than troll vibe from it (though nothing saying it couldn’t be both). And if it wants to witness in GD about the deep Democratic conspiracy cabal I don’t really have an issue with that. It’s one of the things GD is for. Mostly I found the whole thing dreadfully sad - troll or not this is where extreme polarization and the social media echo chamber has led us. And assuming it wasn’t a “pure” troll I’m sure they would have agreed, just from the opposite end 🤨.

But, oh well. I also don’t even care enough to IM a moderator for a reason, because whatever. Can’t take in every sad stray with mental issues. And at the end of the day they could have just been another chain puller.

My favorite memory of the poster was their link to a news story about Bill Barr claiming that there was nothing in the Mueller report as a cite that there was nothing in the Mueller report!

You must’ve missed where they proffered Mike Lindell’s cyber symposium as evidence for anything other than the pillow huckster being delusional.
