That’s actually sadly impressive, to have been socking at this forum for… ::: counts on fingers ::: … seventeen years.
I think there was one guy that had a beef with James Randi, and has a big hatred for atheists, he made dozens of socks for more time than that…
Markuze has also been active for over a decade spamming hundreds of atheist related websites, pages, online forums, and email inboxes, including making hundreds of death threats to other atheists with online presences. His rants also regularly show up in Usenet archives dating back as early as 1993,making him one of the first (if not the first) Internet trolls ever.
He’s not just a troll, but perhaps the Ubertroll, the prototype. How wonderful.
And… I did not want to name him, so the next one that goes Beetlejuice over here with the troll name will get the blame for calling him…
(On a different note, whoa, they are making Beetlejuice II now…)
I’ve been seeing ads for a production of Beetlejuice the musical. It looks very good.
Those two things can’t both be true.
I kid! I kid!
We already have Heathers: the Musical. Maybe there should be an entire genre of musical adaptations of early Winona Ryder movies. Square Dance has potential, if you can work in some square dancing.
Of course, Square Dance could also feature in a trilogy of musicals about young girls with cringe-worthy relationships with mentally handicapped adult men, along with Tideland and Digging to China.
Aside from Markuze, I thought there was a regular poster here with a bug up his ass about Randi’s challenge. I think he was topic-banned on the subject.
Peter Morris, I seem to recall.
Indeed so and definitely topic banned (more than a decade ago)
See the following post in this thread plus the next 10 or 20 replies:
I was like, what’s this, and saw that it was an interesting thread and was wondering where I was when it was posted. Then I read further and I was pretty heavily involved in it.
Damn, my memory is shitty sometimes.
Dust in the wind, that’s what my memory is like.
Sometimes I labor like Hercules trying to construct a post that says exactly what I want to say, as elegantly and concisely as I can, and a week later I wouldn’t be able to tell my post from anyone else’s if it weren’t labeled.
Now back to your friendly troll bashing.
Years ago I did not know about the ban, and as luck would have it I innocently praised Randi in a reply to Morris. Within a few minutes, numerous other posters yelled at me. 
That particular genius had a grand total of 20 posts, all in that one thread. Yeah, he was here to swizzle the septic tank.
In paleontology that would be a holotype – the single specimen designated by an author as the type of a species or lesser taxon at the time of establishing the group.
Thanks. Now, I want to call for tickets.
Sometimes I go back and read an old post and think “what kind of dumbass posted that?” And then of course notice that it was me.
