Trolls R Us Resurrections

I wonder what would happen if you put chappachula and Michael_Varn in the same post. Oops!

Methinks the mods are getting tired of Michael Varn’s schtick. Too stupid to live seems appropriate for his threads.

I assume you’re talking about how Chronos mercy killed Varn’s last meandering OP? (Tangentially related to Southpark).

Again, M_V is so utterly clueless about the real world that I have to conclude they’re a Troll or are in some way mentally differing from the norm. The sources they pull from certainly don’t help in terms of keeping a balanced worldview, but a lot of their stream of consciousness posting feels like someone who is not entirely there by most standards.

Meandering? That’s the most merciful adjective I can imagine for that festival of nuttery. He professes to have a theory that the two creators of South Park “have some sort of job in law enforcement where they police the airwaves of nationally syndicated radio talk shows by identifying crazy callers who may be some kind of threat to other people, places, and things.” Hey, if that’s a job, I want one. Surely I’m as qualified as a couple of cartoonists.

I like the idea that Trey Parker and Matt Stone are AM Radio Cops who developed a plan to identify threats, but for some reason their plan required them to make a popular and long-running adult cartoon show.

I hear that they plan to convert Casa Bonita into a prison.

I did indicate I thought he was very possibly suffering from … an altered state of mind, whether natural or inducted, and figured I’ll be merciful for this particular toilet-full of mental diarrhea. Especially since Chronos nuked it from orbit.

  1. Make a popular and long-running adult cartoon show by policing AM radio stations
  2. ???
  3. Profit!

I just saw that. Dude’s a brick shy. Hell, he’s a whole building shy.

In the MPSIMS thread about a terrifying incident, someone called pasttense whom I have not particularly noticed before uses the “many people say” approach to libel a dog breed. I have not bothered to research the poster to see if they behave this way in other contexts.

I don’t have any recollection of that poster. But it’s common for any thread about dog violence to be hijacked by debates about breeds. Similar to threads about gun violence getting hijacked about second-amendment debates.

It’s not the point of view, but the sleazy tactic I was pointing at. Whatever they think about that breed, it appears to me that they knew there was no evidentiary support for it.

Many people are saying that too.

He’s not trolling though and it is a common misconception.

I think it’s better to say “he’s not trolling in an obvious way”, but I agree with @Roderick_Femm that their manner raises some doubt.

Separately, do you think it’s somewhat hijacking a thread asking for sympathy with a controversial topic? Seems to me worthy of a friendly note redirecting the thread back on topic.

Not my forum and MPSIMS is a lot more forgiving of hijacks. But the whole pitbull thing looks like a hijack to me. On the other hand, the OP is participating in it.

Yeah, that’s the deciding factor.

Eh, OP was trolling anyone who is against the stupid idea of BSL by claiming to have properly identified a pitbull in seconds that was inside a car. They also may have misread the entire situation in the first place.

I get that they were terrified, but I also recently had a Door Dash person go running when they saw my 15# Shichon look up while sitting on a chair ten feet away from them, so I know that people can feel terrified in a situation where there is absolutely nothing to be terrified about. They probably reported a similar story as the OP of that thread.

We already have a Pit thread for such crap, anyway. I see the poster in question participated there almost exactly six years ago.

You know the percentage of people who don’t know what “BSL” means? I bet you it is over 50%. Apparently it means Breed Specific Legislation, not the least bit obvious.
