And for those of us in mobile, who don’t have a keyboard to tap keys on, you can do the same thing in a different way.

Tap the box that has the post number/post count. (On my theme it’s a box at the bottom of the screen.) Then tap the “jump to” button that appears. You get an option to jump to a particular post, tap in the box then type the number with your virtual keyboard, and it takes you right there.

Not as handy as the keyboard # shortcut but it gets you there.

He is a sicko, but not a troll. Is that what you’re asking for?

Nah. For separate reasons, I think he’s both. But you said you thought I was putting words in his mouth, and told someone else that I “added” the child murder part, as if he hadn’t said that, and asked for a cite. I was curious if the cite convinced you that I wasn’t misrepresenting him, that he really was as monstrous as I said. Not a huge deal.

Are you going to apologize to LHOD for that?

As a corollary to that, if you (WE?) do agree that LHOD was simply reporting, do you think that he (TOWP) would actually murder children at the border, as he says he would, or do you think he’s just having a larf at our expense?

Look, we all know that facing down an unarmed 11 year old Venezuelan girl who’s made it through hell, TOWP would drop his gun, wet his pants and run away.

This is all keyboard warrior fantasizing.

Either way, I’m not a mind reader and I can’t declare it trolling.  
If he is trolling, he is getting away with it past this moderator at least.

Need eye drops anyone? I got some. No label, been thru the laundry, possibly 21 years old.

Funny that he asked Czarcasm if he was autistic when he himself is setting off _all_ of the autism bells. (His style really reminds me of Lucy, but with a different fixation.)

He didn’t ask me if I was autistic. He asked me if I had some autism- _Totally_ different. 🤨🙄

I wonder (and someone in-thread also wondered) if they meant “altruism”. For an explanation about why anyone would care about dying languages.

A 14-year-old with a crapton of enthusiasm and boundless curiousity about an amazingly narrow slice of knowledge, plus a very young and naive lack of insight into how little they know.

I got a strong sense of ESL as well, though I have no evidence for it. Maybe if I had more autism I would ask.

Not what I was talking about, but whatever.

Awhile ago, I believe we had someone who expressed his willingness to rape children. That was too shitty for the board, so he was banned.

Now we have someone expressing his willingness to murder children. How is that better?

TOWP does fit a lot of the devolution seen from many conservatives, start as a climate change denier or lukewarmer, then follow nativists that pretend to be environmentalists, followed by being simpatico with fascism, then go for the Holocaust denial (not there yet in this case, but keep an eye for it.)
