And the posts that got them a warning do no favors either: `https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kamala-should-run-for-president-again-in-2028/1011774/222?u=parallellines` [broke my earlier link, even if it wasn’t a current thread, unfair to leave a live back-link to a thread even if it was What\_Exit’s warning, and not the actual poster’s posts] ---

I try to be evenhanded to all. Repeating myself from upthread though: > [@ParallelLines](#): > > (this is not even a mod-nudge, this is just me asking you fine folks to not hurt yourselves when the inevitable urge to poke with a stick arises, and -this- thread is the place to poke 'em) Or just flag 'em and leave off the riskier snark entirely as @Chronos suggested. Faux-adult mode ended, you may now resume your usual snarking! ---

From your virtual lips to the FSM’s noodley aural appendages. If we could get everyone to follow that creed, the mods can become lazy, relaxed and bored. Oh wait, there will _always_ be the spammers. I swear… ---

What I should have said, more appropriately, is that most of us went to school and actually learned stuff. A couple of us apparently didn’t and now are inventing their own pseudo-science which they deem to be “fact, not theory” (not even understanding what the term “theory” means) and are regaling us with their delusional versions of reality. I’m reminded of a great line in an episode of the old TV series _Family Ties_. The parents in the family are very liberal with a background in academia. The father manages a PBS station. When their eldest daughter Mallory starts dating a greaser (think “the Fonz” from _Happy Days_) the parents ask to meet the young man. When he says he dropped out of high school, the father is very concerned and says something like, “can you expand on that?”. The Fonz says, “Yeah. When they had classes, I wasn’t there.” 😉 ---

Ha! I remember that ep. I’m not usually sensitive about my lack of education, I just wouldn’t want to know one of my favorite canine dopers thinks I’m a doofus. ---

You are a doofus. (Not attributed to your schooling, mostly it’s your avatar 😄) We like you like that. Your canine friend is way more forgiving that he logically should be. He’s a good dog! (Oh since it is the pit _shut up_) ---

Many of the troll hunters here have long memories. Does anyone recall Martin Hyde being one to post in baseball threads? ---

Martin Hyde was not a troll _in substance_. That is, he was an intelligent poster for the most part, albeit brusque and supercilious. He was just a pathological liar it seems, which was what got him banned it seems. ---

Of course I do, I’m a baseball fanatic, less than I used to be, but I lived and breathed baseball when I joined the board. Anyway, never mind. I did my own research. ---
