And there’s why I mentioned the pathetic attempt at trolling here.
Me back in March of 2010:
Know how going in circles makes you dizzy? Remeber what Ferdinand Magellan was known for? That’s how this magellan’s posts come across.
Not linking because the post is in ATMB.
The phrase I’m familiar with is Willful Ignorance.

The term I’ve used elsewhere on the board is aggressive ignorance.
Heh, you don’t need to be former military for this. Play enough RPGs, especially set in the ‘real world’ and you’ll absolutely do the same damn thing. Similar for fans of zombie or PA fiction - “When TEOTWAWKI happens, the first thing I’ll do is…”
Oh that’s perfect. I’ll be sniggering about that one for a while.
I guess the “I got detention on saturday” thread that entertained me this morning got the cornfield treatment. I was looking forward to checking back in with that one.
I didn’t find it entertaining the first time it appeared under a different name the day before.
Well to be fair, I found it entertaining because one of the first responses suggested the op should get detention for terrible grammar.
It was probably the same “name plus numbers” person who had 2 or 3 other accounts this week.
Did that guy claiming to be a Russian saying weird things about American movies a few months back get banned, or just stop posting? Because he’s obviously back:

(Remove the space to see his face.)
Yes, that is a trock, and yes they were banned before. I’m reporting as an obvious trock.
Previous (locked) thread if you’re curious:
Shouldn’t a strong Russian be out killing Ukrainians and not posting about movies?
So when the Soviets banned Hitchcock…?
Because of the strength of his ideas?
Huh. Apparently my breaking of the URL didn’t break it enough.
Can you bench-press Alfred Hitchcock?
Can Alfred Hitchcock direct a rock too heavy for him to lift?
Are you strong enough to be my man?
No, I’m just wasting time making posts that are going to the cornfield.
Alfred is probably pretty light by now.
