Hmm. Not sure that it makes sense to disincentivize such remarks by using them to ridicule him.
Plus positive reinforcement tends to work better than negative reinforcement, according to psychologists.
Personally, I’d be more inclined to quote the posts where he calls people stupid, but directing it at him.
You really think it’s going to be that long?
Are you gonna do your usual thing where you make a claim and then never bother to back it up?
I mean we/you wouldn’t want to break a tradition would we/you?
Too late.
Like most of his far-right brethren, all octopus has left is lies, hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy. But he’s learned that if you’re already morally bankrupt, you might as well use it to lie and accuse others of the hypocrisy you’re guilty of.
So, anyway, I thought this thread was to mock and call out trolls, not engage with them.
It doesn’t matter how much evidence there is conservatives committing treason, violating the laws they themselves enact, obviously lying, and participating in anarchy, you will still hate liberals. Just go ahead and martyr yourself into exile. Get it over with. Drop those board-violating bombs, get banned, and join the proud ranks of conservative firebrands who stood up to the antifa hive and swam in liberal tears. Let the drama diarrhea proceed.
Like I said. Mentally disturbed. Hell, mentally ill. It’s why I refuse to engage with him/her: it’s just not good for their health and I’m not the sort of person who is interested in making someone’s illness(es) worse. Talking to Octo is the moral equivalent of offering a cigarette to a smoker battling lung cancer. 
What if he genuinely believes in the health benefits of smoking?
Lol, in a world bound by physical reality, this belief would be just another manifestation of the mental illness which I refer.
That ship sailed so long ago that it has circumnavigated the globe.
octo’s got his own Pit thread(s) he just refuses to stay in them, and it’s annoying to have to keep moving this one.
It’s got to be really upsetting for poor octy, seeing his fellow conservatrolls banned one after another.
The vast majority of his recent posts are just in the Pit (whining about the hive mind) and ATMB (whining about the mods).
It should really find a place it likes more.
– sees a bunch of blank comments, blank quotes, and people being egged on by Octo –
– pats the ignore feature with a quite ‘Good boy.’
Srsly. One of the things I truly appreciate about Discourse is that not only do I not see the original posts from those I’ve ignored, I also don’t see what they’ve written when quoted.
Helps keep my blood pressure down.
In keeping with his nature:
When you think about it, his using the moniker of “octopus” is a real insult to octopuses. They’re a lot smarter than he is.
You speak truth.
Careful. He’ll be back soon, after completing his long weep.
But thank god he’s not one of the sand people, eh? We don’t need any more octopi.
Octopuses are the cornerstone of my retirement plan to set up an octopus-otter-hyena-raccoon sanctuary.
I just try to compartmentalize stupid cartoony octopuses with top hats into an unrelated category.
