I mostly know him for posting “jokes” that are completely incomprehensible. And not just in a “I see what you were going for but missed the mark sense,” but in a, “I don’t understand how you got from the OP to the premise for your joke, nor how you got from the premise to the punchline.” ---

Aside from admitting I own a single pistol (which I keep locked in a safe and haven’t handled in years), how am I a gun nut? Yes I know I’m probably wasting my time but I’m mildly curious. I’ve already been accused of defending a mass-murderer because… Actually I wasn’t given a reason for that. Was it because I pointed out that he could possibly have acquired the gun legally? (Because I have a huge problem with the fact that a person with a mental illness might have been able to do so.) ---

Well, maybe if you go clean your gun, besides being a cop, a lawyer, and a doctor you’ll figure it out. Unless there’s too much sand pounded up your ass for you get what F.O. means. ( Make sure you spray on the gun oil. Lots and lots of gun oil. “It’s good for you” /s ) ---

Wasn’t in the prior thread, but just for the record, your ranting -here- is a really good example of making it obvious that no, it’s all about you and your obsessions. A quick review in both threads show some snarky but legitimate concern about you and your posting. And you’re then going off on ascribing motivations and malice that are waaaaaay beyond what I’d consider reasonable. Maybe, like in the OP, you are having an off day, or any number of situations that can cause one to be frustrated beyond the point of fair analysis of what people are saying. I suggest (entirely as a poster) taking a couple of days off and find some peace. ---

How many low-brow school yard bullies does it take to gang up on just one poster? Evidently its takes ten on one to be a fair fight. ---

> [@Mundane\_Super\_Hero](#): > > How many low-brow school yard bullies does it take to gang up on just one poster? Kind of incredible that you think _you’re_ the wronged party here, considering how much of a dick you’re being because people reasonably pointed out the giant logical errors in your “theory.” ---

At this point it seems clear that MSH isn’t just stupid, but seriously mentally ill, so I think people should stop taunting him. ---

If you are knowledgeable about a subject, you are a “nut” about it. If your knowledge of that subject makes a person look foolish, you are a bully for sharing it. I’m wondering why a person with such an outlook wastes their time on a web site that exists to fight ignorance. ---

Don’t you have a gun to go clean? Also, do you Really not know what “F.O.” means? It means I don’t want posts from you. I don’t want DMs from you. I don’t want any interactions with you. And if you Go To Hell, I don’t want any postcards. I’m amazed that I’d have to spell that out to such a gun Einstein. ---
