The one I started in Cafe Society, about trans creators who talk about the trans experience. The troll first named someone who is in the news for some transphobic stuff, then added another post where they did some crude misgendering involving genitals.

Man, I feel like I really missed something big. **RangerLoops** was all over the place on this board! Must have been a trock. Kudos to **ecg** for wiping that poster out everywhere. Cool method – split all the posts into one thread called RL Troll Thread and then delete the thread.

I’m not getting the feeling of gandrews3367 being extremely trockish. Just look up their contributions. They’ve only been here 2 days.

(I won’t link to anything for obvious reasons.)

As I mentioned in the ATMB thread about this, I was up then. So I did see some of those posts. No, you didn’t miss anything. This was not one of our brighter trolls. Lord knows he was trying, but there were so few brain cells operating that all he could produce was basically just garbage. It was essentially the kind of sabotage of the board that would have been attempted by a third-grader of below-average intellect.

gandrews3367 is a moron. Troll? Probably not; just a moron. Doesn’t know that viruses can be vaccinated against. Somehow made it to adulthood without knowing this. See

His arguments are basic Octo but without the personality defect which compels him to obsessively come to an internet URL he (assuming gender) openly detests.

If he continues with this misinformed bullshit, he should get banned for that. Twitter and YouTube ban people for posting anti-vax bullshit.

Let’s face it, that poster is not likely to ever provide useful contributions to the board.

Well DA asked a simple question and I have a factual answer, even citing the law specifically on the web site of the US Office of Special Counsel. DA then got snarky about Psaki not being barred from federal employment (which is a consequence for especially egregious violations rather than a rhetorical slip-up) and made the no-brainer guess that it wouldn’t happen to her. Since that conclusion was such a Captain Obvious observation, I returned with equal snark, giving DA a crude gold star worthy of such deduction. In which case DA wished I would go away.

Because of course DA doesn’t actually want real answers to questions, but rather wants someone who agrees politically. What a fucking asshole.

He’s playing the Bricker Memorial Liberal Hypocrisy Card. If he can point to one liberal jaywalker he can then imply the existence of moral equivalency to a gang of conservative mass murderers.

So if we’re all not **just** as outraged by Psaki’s one example of inappropriate phrasing as we were about the previous administration’s four years of constant, blatant, deliberate disregard for the Hatch Act, why, we must be just as dishonest and hypocritical as he is!

He’s continuing. We have now been informed yet again that there are no vaccines for viruses. The ghosts of Jonas Salk and Edward Jenner might want a word.

I’m guessing there’s no such thing as evolution, either.
