> Markuze has also been active for over a decade spamming hundreds of atheist related websites, pages, online forums, and email inboxes, including making hundreds of death threats to other atheists with online presences. His rants also regularly show up in Usenet archives dating back as early as 1993,making him one of the first (if not _the_ first) Internet trolls ever. He’s not just a troll, but perhaps the Ubertroll, the prototype. How wonderful. ---

And… I did not want to name him, so the next one that goes Beetlejuice over here with the troll name will get the blame for calling him… (On a different note, whoa, [they are making Beetlejuice II now…](https://parade.com/1349565/michelle-scheraga/beetlejuice-2-cast-trailer-release-date/)) ---

We already have _Heathers: the Musical_. Maybe there should be an entire genre of musical adaptations of early Winona Ryder movies. _[Square Dance](https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/square-dance-1987)_ has potential, if you can work in some square dancing. ---

Of course, _Square Dance_ could also feature in a trilogy of musicals about young girls with cringe-worthy relationships with mentally handicapped adult men, along with _Tideland_ and _Digging to China_. ---

Dust in the wind, that’s what my memory is like. Sometimes I labor like Hercules trying to construct a post that says exactly what I want to say, as elegantly and concisely as I can, and a week later I wouldn’t be able to tell my post from anyone else’s if it weren’t labeled. Now back to your friendly troll bashing. ---
