> [@colander](#): > > Yes, you say that a lot. It’s funny because I think most people here are pretty cool, and am contemptuous of you because as far as I can tell from your posts on this board, you are a dull-witted, scientifically illiterate harpy who never deigns to let facts and figures get in the way of a good self-righteous squawk. What’s a good two-word phrase for that? Oh, yeah! Gosh, but you’re late! I can’t believe you’d disappoint **TP** like that. And you’re right there with me on getting facts wrong, as you’ve been taken to task several times for misreading statistics. But each time a real statistician points out your errors, you disappear for a couple days and wait for the thread to sink before you reappear. But that’s cool, because every time you post stats, I can count on someone to come in with a handy tutorial about how they actually work, and I learn something from your ignorance so I consider it, and your periodic absences, a win! And you’re so consistently hateful and bitter that no one really cares when you pile on them, your predictable schtick is appreciated even when you’re universal hostility gets tiresome. You’re occasionally funny so we forgive you for being bitter and combative. > [@colander](#): > > **Troppus** , I think you are a real “crunchy mom”. du hast mich there. ---

> [@runner pat](#): > > Mother Teresa in a thong. I’ve reported your post to the mods. I generally support the idea that one should receive warnings before one is banned, but in this case I think they should make an exception. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/troppus-the-liar/664151.md?page=2)
