Sam Kinnison, on the theory that his stage persona was a fictional character, for being a jerk. ---

Elan. And Nale. Pre-mark Belkar would quickly get banned; post-mark Belkar would stay just on the right side. ---

Almost the entire cast of Homestuck. Dave, and, of course, most of the Trolls for trolling. (Sorry, Dave, ‘being Ironic’.) Transparently. All the other Trolls, plus Callie, for insisting on typing in colours with idiosyncratic typing quirks, such as spelling with numbers and symbols. Caliborn and most of the Jacks for being aggressive asses, who can’t not insult people. Or for making death threats. Hard to guess whether they’d start threatening people before they were already on a one way train to Banville. Dirk for socking. Roxy for insisting on posting drunk and incoherent. John, Jake, Jane, Jade, Rose and the Caripacians (aside from the Jacks) would probably survive. ---

> [@RTFirefly](#): > > When I saw the thread title, Holden Caulfield immediately came to mind, the insufferable little prick. (Never have understood what people saw in _Catcher in the Rye_.) I actually loved the book; I’ve read it three times, at very different stages of life, and found it wonderful each time. I completely agree that Holden is a very difficult character to like. There aren’t too many books I’ve enjoyed with narrators who are nearly as annoying as he is–and yet, there’s also something about Holden that I find quite appealing. A little cognitive dissonance, sure, and I completely understand why a lot of folks couldn’t stand it. But I really do think it’s great. ---

Ernest T. Bass, for his general nuttiness and threatening to throw bricks through everyone’s windows and/or monitors. Oliver Douglas, for somehow causing fife music to play on the site and everyone’s speakers every time he posts commentary about America, with or without mention of farming. Ernest P. Worrell, for calling everyone ‘Vern’. ---

Austin Powers, for constantly bragging about his penis size and sexual prowess, AND frequently asking everyone if they feel randy and/or if he makes them feel horny. _The Twilight Zone_’s Anthony, for threatening to send everyone (if not also the entire board/website itself) to the cornfield. ---
