This is my shocked face.

I guess this was just a bored out-of-school kid. Unless it’s a trock that decided a radically different persona on.

Or it could be the ram’s horn they blow at synagogue. It was the high point of my childhood religious experience when I went with a friend. A shofar.

That’s actually closer to the troll’s original “brain teaser”.

I agree that shofar was the word the OP was after. I was just correcting the spelling of chauffeur.

Since the threat was closed (with damn good reason), I figured I mention cjackson was briefly doing his rage and insult filled shtick again here in the Pit.

[https://boards.straightdope.com](https://boards.straightdope.com) /t/fuck-pretty-people/1003460

Which was a dumpster fire. @Atamasama kindly (to the others) pointed out all the other unspeakable crap he’s done in other threads, and I’ve brought him up (along with others, natch) in this thread a few times. I’m hoping the gendered insults and repeat offenses get him at least a suspension if not a ban this time.

He’s now doing another one in MPSIMS on “Just getting started in your forties”. I honestly don’t know whether to have sympathy for the guy or consider him a psycho or both (the two are not inconsistent). All I know is that that thread is not long for this world, and he’s probably not long for this board. It’s not so much the idea of being aimless, but the prediction of being “institutionalized, jailed or killed”. Unless he’s just drunk or stoned out of his mind at the moment. But he’s never been particularly rational. I see that some posters are trying to be helpful, and kudos to them if the OP is genuine. I’m staying the hell out of it.

I was one of those 2-4 insane, dangerous, bigoted rants ago. I suggested that ranting _to us_ is probably safer than going through with any of the acts of violence he was in favor of, both directly and indirectly.

The number of homophobic, misogynistic, and psychotic attacks dropped my sympathy to near zero. Considering what happened in the most recent Pit thread they started, and the fact they’ve been issued warnings about how some terms just aren’t allowed even in the Pit, this should be enough for @miller to suggest to the mods that they aren’t safe for the board or themselves.

The nicest, and probably most honest thing I can say of them that they need to get help.

For any who didn’t read @Atamasama’s greatest hits on cjackson in the other thread, here’s a highlight of the ones I’ve noted and/or flagged.

1. “[Alright you motherfuckers, this shit is getting old. We need to get rid of those faggot ass lobbyists that are working for big pharma to kill our buzz!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-much-to-get-off-my-chest/981734)” - Thread closed, warning for language
2. [Prior use](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kratom-and-delta-8-bans/963637) of “republic_nt_” (first time I’ve noticed them using that particular gendered insult) along with " I’ve said before that the only good cop is a dead cop." - which, well, yeah. Sadly, they skated with no warning for that insult that time, but I’m documenting it so @miller has extra ammo in terms of his repeated use.
3. [“It’s no secret that I’m extremely classist, and bitter, and have violent fantasies of hurting rich kids.” and “I’ll probably never lose this hatred, and whether it be whining on the internet, or actually taking action and joining a revolutionary mob with a guillotine.”](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-much-to-get-off-my-chest/981734). O M F G. This was the last time I told them to get help. In thread, Miller noted that they were far too close to threats of violence, to which Cjackson elevated to what I at least considered barely veiled threats to board members AFTER said note, and it was escalated to a warning and thread closure.
4. Then months of more or less normal (or at least, didn’t come to my attention) until the new “Fuck Pretty people” where we get this “[Shit like that makes me fantasize about disfiguring attractive people. See who wants to fuck them then. If you are hot do us all a favor and rub your cunty face in broken glass!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-pretty-people/1003460)” Which included ANOTHER call to violence, and the use of a gendered curse.

This person is a risk to the board, to the posters, and themselves. Lots of warnings, lots of repeat behavior of warnable issues, no signs of improvement. Giving benefit of the doubt, they may not be a traditional troll, but just so imbalanced that they are incapable of abiding by the board rules.

I have no patience for that crap.

It all seems like “Oh, I’m bored, let me say the worst thing I can think of to rile up a bunch of internet strangers, for my Friday night funzies”

He writes clearly enough not to be wasted. He repeats the same “Yeah, I’m crazy enough to hurt rich, beautiful people or people with authority.” Using nasty language to prove just how awful he is.

He is nothing but a fake.

Not even original, it’s the plot arc of season 2 of Nip/Tuck, a 20-year-old TV show where “The Carver” goes around disfiguring attractive people because “beauty is a curse on the world.”

Let’s not blame poor, defenseless drugs and alcohol. I spend some time each week drunk and high. I walked and baked this morning!! I’m happy and fun to be around in that state. Assholes are assholes, with or without drugs and alcohol.

It is an admin-configurable setting. The other Discourse i hang out in has it set to two, which somehow works perfectly well. And yes, it’s 5 here.
