Those users who have not chosen to create an icon get a generic icon with the first letter of their username in a colored circle. If two users had the same first letter could they end up with identical icons? Or does the board software generate a different color for each icon using a letter so that each icon remains unique? It seems Discourse uses a limited range of colors for the generics. ---

Fuck D\_Anconia. He’s a lying piece of shit. I don’t know why I bother ever engaging with him, but that’s not a mistake I will make again. His responses in his own CPS mask thread are just utter bullshit. Him: The sky is never blue. Me: Here’s a picture of the blue sky, and a cite from God that the sky is blue. Just say you got it wrong. It’s OK. Him: I’m not wrong because sometimes it’s cloudy. Me: \ ---

RickJay was hardly on my radar until fairly recently. But he has been making more and more stupid posts lately. I really wasn’t sure if he was a troll or just stupid. But his gaslighting and general bullshit in the Canadian freedumb convoy thread have made it clear, he is both REALLY stupid AND a troll. He is starting to sound more and more like mcgiver. Its a toss-up which is more moronic… ---

I would have disagreed with you until lately, when he tried the old: “Well I never read about the truckers who left Ottawa grouping up outside the city, so…” A simple google search by several people found the answer to this enigma that had eluded him. He’s trying for so many “gotcha’s” in that thread, but so far, he keeps grabbing his own balls. ---

> [@Latimera](#): > > But his gaslighting and general bullshit in the Canadian freedumb convoy thread have made it clear, he is both REALLY stupid AND a troll. Fucking nonsense. I have disagreed with RickJay on quite a bit over the decades. Quite a bit. But he is neither a troll, nor stupid, nor a right-wing nut. Mistaken and overly sure of his strongly-voiced opinions at times? IMHO, yes. To the right of me politically? Yep, maybe about as much as former poster John Mace was - i.e. maybe a libertarian-leaning centrist. Which is likely the source of some of my disagreements with him over the years. But a troll? That’s just bullshit. He may be wrong, but I don’t see any deliberate gaslighting in the Canadian truckers thread at all. Just some strongly worded differences in opinion and not even that many core ones since he seems to think those idiots should have been dispersed early on. ---

Just some strongly worded differences in opinion and not even that many core ones since he seems to think those idiots should have been dispersed early on Agreed. And I would hope a moderator isn’t a troll. His only contention that I can see is that he didn’t think it was necessary to invoke the Emergency Powers Act. I think he also had some misinformation about account freezing that he dropped after being corrected (from what I can tell). ---
