I apologize. You were correct and I was wrong ---

My reply to you was stupid and I regret it. ---

If you want to stick around, I recommend bowing out of this thread and posting elsewhere on the board. Arguing with folks in this thread isn’t going to establish your bona fides. Time and posting might. My two cents. ---

Pardon the (hopefully incredibly quick) hijack, but is that Bob Dylan? ---

Yes, that is the picture of Dylan and the Triumph that nearly killed him. I have many motorcycles but no picture of me on any of them will ever be nearly as cool. I even own a motorcycle that is visually very similar to that the 500cc Triumph: A 1970 CB350. ---

I used to enjoy riding my friend’s CB350… but the engine casing is thin as paper… when I laid it on its side at zero mph (foot… pothole… don’t ask) a pebble went right through it 🥲 Sorry… back to troll hunting… ---

OMFG, **Michael\_Varn** rezzed a 3 YEAR OLD thread (again!) from Cecil’s Columns on Jesus and the Shroud of Turin to blankly state the ‘confirmation’ that since Pilate exists and sentenced people including a man named Jesus (Joshua Yeushua not specified) it is ‘factual’. Excuse me. I must explode quietly somewhere, don’t want to bother the wife. ---

Seeing the recently-deceased Dropzone posting in that thread, and his joking about bringing the dead thread back to life, was both macabre and sad. ☹ ---

Taint not the memory of the Sainted Dropzone (Charming Curmudgeon that he was) by reminding us of his presence in a thread tainted by M\_V’s trolling! > [@SuntanLotion](#): > > If it doesn’t make a sound, did you really explode? Wife was getting ready to teach her online Physics lab, and is stressed enough that they’re rather obviously cheating. So we can now explode with our separated bitchings now, aided by booze. And a delayed sound is still a sound. 😜 > [@Pleonast](#): > > Hah, I was typing up something about the same post. I hope no one takes the bait. Not sure if it’s worth reporting–does the mod of that forum want some action? Phillyguy already responded and I’m going ahead and flagging it, as it’s the second time in three weeks they’ve done it, including the Cooper thread. ---

I don’t see anything too wrong with it. Yeah, it’s a bad argument, but Phillyguy explained why: Jesus was a common name. As long as he doesn’t come back to start an argument, I don’t see how it harms anything. If it’s trolling, it’s just in the form of seeing who will get upset that he rezzes threads. Sure, report it for the record, but I don’t see why anything would need to be done. ---

It’s not just that pattern, which is weird, but survivable, but the entire pattern of their posting. Multiple, unsupported bizarre conspiracy theories combined with starting with something completely inaccurate, then getting corrected, then going off on a tangent (often politically slanted) from the original topic, and always with a certain ‘I was wrong but in essence I was right…’ It stinks. Heck, they even had a dedicated Pit thread comparing the patterns to JimB (and mentions here as well). ---
