By my reading, 18 of the 22 posts in this thread are about the one person the thread’s not supposed to be about. Goddammit, I just made it 19/23. Maybe everyone just drop it right now, don’t even respond to this, and look for some other shitty trolls to talk about? ---

It’s worked before. Hence why the other thread is not the original. IMO. It failed because people actually started discussing octopus, and not just saying they want to keep him out. I’m not sure it wasn’t intentional, TBH. ---

**Michael\_Varn** has shown up on my radar, with his silly half-baked overly-long theories about this or that phenomenon.

They seem similar to the departed **Jim\_B** - throw up a gallon of text that for half a second while you’re reading through seems to have a point, and by the end you’re thinking anyone over the age of 10-12 would have dismissed this after half a second of thought. I’m not saying they are said poster, just that it feels similar in style. Although without said poster’s later poorly-hidden needling. Definitely worth watching. Although it is extremely weird to have the 1-2 posts back in 2016, a revival of a 7 year old thread in '20, and then the barrage now… ---

I was reading that D.B. Cooper thread (obviously, I posted in it) and was thinking, this is really not very well thought-out at all. ---

The over six years that passed since Varn opened the thread hasn’t improved it. And it can’t be a “Comment on Cecil’s Column” if Cecil never had a column about D.B. Cooper. It was stupidly opened in the wrong place and has apparently remained stupidly there. ---
