[This thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=579446) starts with the following opening sentence: _This is the problem we face in society today, We don’t understand women, most women and thier sexist feminazis brigade do not know thier place in this world._ And the OP continues in that vein. It’s blatantly obvious that the OP is either not posting in good faith or is otherwise not a pleasant person. Why dump this drivel in GD? It belongs in the Pit, everyone knows it’s going to the Pit, and frankly that’s the only forum on this board where the OP can be given the type of replies he so richly deserves. I’m not mad at ya or calling you names or anything, I just don’t grok the logic here. ---

Can we call a troll a troll here? Because I’ve never seen anything more obvious, and the only place it deserves to go (if not closed) is the Pit. ---

Every response from him is a deliberate attack, so I don’t think it’s the BBQ Pit he should be transferred to. ---

I have a feeling that’s only kosher in the Pit, which is certainly where the thread belongs, if only to allow us to address the OP in suitable terms. ---

Why GD? **Marley** seems to enjoy that kind of message board performance art, I thought I’d send it his way. As the thread has proceeded, it’s clearly just garden variety trollery – think I’ll ban him. ETA: Done. ---

This joker is throwing large rocks into the water to see the ripples, so _any_ response you give him will satisfy his need. ---

It wasn’t even _good_ trollery, with a tiny hint of cleverness; just clichéd neanderthal catchphrases. I demand a better class of troll! ---

I would like it noted that I called the Under. Not that it was very hard, mind you, but I would like it listed in my Permanent Record. ---

I almost reopened the thread to note it, but decided you’d probably find a way to publicize it yourself. 😛 ---

Why not? I’m rather proud of it. Where do you think I got that custom title from? (Actually, that’s the summary statement from my DIA file.) ---

Has there been a fall upsurge in weird trollery or is it just me? There was the person who thought Charles Manson was innocent of murder because Manson had other people kill for him, & now this Big Daddy D person. I’ve been noticing some weird crap coming from my mother’s relatives lately, I am disturbed that Big Daddy D might have been serious & somehow related to me. :shudder: Also, what’s a DIA file? ---
