Not a modnote. But good advice I hope. This is **Miller’s** forum. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > As to the 30% bit, I hope to hell the percentage of people that think shooting border crossers is OK is a heck of a lot lower. You really think that? Because it’s my impression, based just on support in the US for various other fascist measures, that it’s probably _higher_ than that. ---

I really don’t know any more. I really don’t. I suspect it might be higher than 30% in Texas, but under 10% in New Jersey. ---

Even Jersey is 40% Trump voters. You really think less than a quarter of those are virulently anti-immigrant? You’re more charitable than I’d be. ---

You could be right, but we’re really not a gun state. Overall we like our gun laws. ---

I think **MrDibble** and **What\_Exit** are both very pretty and should get a room to talk to each other about their feelings. 😜 This is always our problem when there are fewer people actively trolling _by board definitions_ and we find ourselves hungry for new targets. However, there will always be another troll/trock coming. ---

Extra leg muscle for specific “races” of human as statement of fact in GD? Yeaaaaah. Way to easy. Not taking that bet. And I’ve already flagged it, as I’m sure you have. 🙂 ETA - thread locked, and user suspended as I watched. Preparing for trip to cornfield! ---

Of course, I am having a really hard time believing this, but in my disbelief and search for evidence to disprove this rumor, I am finding almost nothing giving information on the verification or falsification of this statement.

If it had been framed up as a discussion like in the OP referred to by @running_coach, even as a first post I might have let it spool out a little. But with that username and a one-line OP along with the 3 instantaneous flags, easy call. ---

There seems to be a 14-year old fresh poster, lacking either manners or awareness, and definitely unable to appraise the validity of their sources, who seems to think that a major Austronesian language is a Spanish-based creole. He also has some odd ideas about other languages. So far, he’s been posting in a kind of stream-of-consciousness manner and has racked up one (maybe two) warnings after joining on the fifth of this month. The trolling aspect, as I see it, is their inability to take correction. So they’re 14. Big deal. That’s no excuse. And the warning/noting moderators obviously see it that way. The young 'un’s created topics wouldn’t be so bad if they were fleshed out more and had something other than social media and “what people say” as support.
