The poster in question himself seemed to confirm the former to me a few months ago (I love me some intricate guitar sounds but am 100% ignorant of such terms), but then again he’s being discussed in this thread isn’t he… ---

I don’t know if I read that and that’s why my mind went there, or if it’s because I’m a bass player. ---

Possible troll/sock alert in the “Kamala Harris run up to the election” thread in P&E. Relatively new poster **Cool** , seems to have registered about a year ago, relatively low read time. Has come into the middle of said thread and seems to be arguing that the “immigrants eat pets” BS is a sign of societal collapse? And not in the way you’re thinking. Anyway, I briefly considered responding to that post but I think my time is probably better spent here. ---

> [@Jihi](#): > > Anyway, I briefly considered responding to that post but I think my time is probably better spent here. But I responded! Do you think you’re better than me??? You get your ass in that thread right now and debate our current state of ‘social decay’!!! Or, yeah - probably best not to bother 😉 . But I remembered Wasco leg-eating guy from the news, so just couldn’t help myself. I’m weak sometimes. ---

> [@Jihi](#): > > Anyway, I briefly considered responding to that post but I think my time is probably better spent here. I’d considered it too… That the story of one crazy person means society was collapsing. My reply would have been along the lines of, “Why does society hinge on the behavior of this one person?” But meh, that person is pretty obviously a troll, or if not, close enough to treat it as one. ---

(It is an anagram of the word “cornfield”.) I just wanted to point out that their recent poll in the polls only thread is SUPER trolly. Paraphrasing, it insists oh, this poll isn’t about anything IRL, but you can have a terrible, murder/rapist/grifting candidate who puts forward better policies that you trust they’ll enact over another candidate who is honest and good, but their policies are only fine. Who do you support? The fucking wink wink, nudge nudge, and the “see, the ends justify the means” is horrific. I already attacked (within the limits of the discussion thread) the poll, but of course, Velocity is eating it up. I am much worse that identifying trocks than others, so I can’t speak to that assumption, but with this, and the quoted chunk above, oh yeah, he’s fucking trolling. ---

You get to choose the attributes of such a dictator.
