Funny, I just posted the same in a Mod thread.

Just be on the lookout for any new joiners under the name “Nicolai Yezhov”.

Arrogance, I suppose. “They’re so dumb, they’ll never catch me.”

As fast as they jumped to unjustified gloating, they were remarkably arrogant.

They’re not really a troll - there’s nothing obnoxious about their posting style, and they provoke interesting conversation - but **AlienBabble** is really starting to piss me off. They’re a one-trick pony - started a thread in June 2020 about UFOs and aliens, made about two or three posts, then fucked off without ever taking part in any discussion. Every now and then, they beam down to resurrect the thread with some bare link or pdf about Congress investigating, then fly off to Tralfmadore again. Never to actually, you know, _talk_ about their obsession; just pop in, drop some info-turd, and bugger off again.

Another poster in that thread said **AB** is simply trying to draw traffic to their shitty crackpot website. I wouldn’t know, I refuse to click over to find out. But if so, that’s a form of spamming, I think. Again, I don’t think **AB** is doing anything bannable; but I really wish they’d do it somewhere else.

Might be a good post to flag.

I’m clueless to the thread.

@Aspenglow is aware of **AB**. She modded him - I’m going to guess **AB** is male - for posting a bare pdf with no explanation.

Hmm. I remember the flag and modding him, but wasn’t aware of the history. Maybe we should have a closer look.

Thanks for mentioning it. If it’s a busy day around here – and some of them have been – it’s easy to miss stuff that you all notice.

They seem to have removed the URL from their “about” page. It used to have a link to a conspiracy theory forum with a dozen members and a design that made the Space Jam web site look sophisticated.

ETA the site still exists: the username with a .com on the end.

Resolved: Instead of “Karen”, a certain sort of person sould be referred to as a “DrDeth”.

Now, now, we have a board approved thread to bully the poor ‘’‘Dr.’‘’ in, no need to do it here!

I disagree with DD a lot and often, but he’s no troll.

Are we talking about the bicycle hating fucknut? Probably not a troll, but definitely a fucknut.

He is the lone person on my ignore list. When I saw that OP, I knew exactly who it would be.
