Looked like a clear case of suicide by Mod to me, but also qualified as more trouble than worth. ---

Well, new user Chatterbox has popped in to call the DSA “crazy” and tell us that all criticism of Israel is just because of tEh AnTiSEmitiSm. May his stay here be brief. ---

Good find. This guy might even last centi-Scaramuccis. Might.

No they’re gone as a follow-up to a pair of flags. ---

Oh well … At least I learned how to create a search for a user’s posts that won’t be found by almost any vanity search. I’m sure that’ll be useful again soon enough. ---

Alas, not even 3 centi-Scaramuccis ---

Taking a scaramucci to be 10 days (sources vary on the exact duration), a centi- would be 2.4 hours = 144 minutes. And a milli- would be 14.4 minutes. It’s almost a shame the mods bury their kills so thoroughly. It’d be fun to track and memorialize how long various problem children don’t last. But all the needed evidence is gone. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > It’s almost a shame the mods bury their kills so thoroughly. I always get slightly and very irrationally annoyed when somebody crows about a truly batshit post and I go to read it and it has been disappeared. I wanted to read the batshittery! How dare the mods spoil my browsing enjoyment by enforcing their sensible rules! ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > It’s almost a shame the mods bury their kills so thoroughly. It’d be fun to track and memorialize how long various problem children don’t last. The whole point is that they don’t want such things to be memorialized. It’s the exact same reason why many times people who disrupt public events (like streakers in sports) aren’t given air time. If you deny the visibility, you remove the incentive to do it. Who wants to go through the trouble of making a spectacle of themselves, and end up with the legal consequences, if you can’t even enjoy the infamy from doing it? (Yet, despite understanding and even supporting the reasons for such a policy, just like you I’m a little disappointed that I can’t be a “train wreck observer”; I think that’s only human.) ---

Oh, man, my brilliant and insightful post was taken away because it related to the troll’s post. It was probably my best post ever, possibly the best post on this board ever, and now it’s gone. I really pity the rest of you, having missed it. ---

Ya know, now that I can go back and read such threads - I’m reminded of a post in this thread (or rather, the prior one) from long ago. The cornfield is rarely _fun_, it’s just full of damp, moldy socks and self-immolating trolls. Very, _very_ rarely are any of them interesting posts, more pathetic and screechy street corner preachers. Of course, I do agree with @RitterSport that some of the smackdowns and comebacks from the _posters_ are quite nice, but more than a few go over the line themselves… Ya’ll aren’t missing much, and the world is more peaceful and quiet… 🎶 “And in the silence that followed, the only sound that could be heard was a solitary giggle, from… ~~ParallelLines~~ [Oliver Cromwell](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBPf6P332uM), Lord Protector of England!” 🎶 ---

Very, _very_ rarely are any of them interesting posts, more pathetic and screechy street corner preachers. It’s like that off-limits room that’s always locked, and so mysterious. Everyone wants to know what’s in there. Whatever it is, it must be amazing! Turns out, that’s just where the custodial staff keep their cleaning supplies. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > Turns out, that’s just where the custodial staff keep their cleaning supplies. Very much so. The image of that elementary school janitor’s mop-bucket full of the darkest, murkiest water that hadn’t been changed since who-knows-when comes to mind. ---

10 years ago, most of us weren’t Mods yet. So either more recent or a different Mod. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-2/1030679.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trolls-r-us-resurrections-part-2/1030679.md?page=7)
