What were you THINKING?

If you look at his profile, his first name is Tim and his last name starts with Z. Timz seems to be a perfectly normal username.

You think he put his real name in his profile? Or maybe I’m not picking up on the sarcasm through the keyboard.

We do get the occasional member that uses their full name on the board. Either as a username or will post it in threads for one reason or another.

If you google that name and the word ‘time’, you’ll find other posts related to time. I’m seeing someone with that name posting about railroad timetables going back more than 20 years.
I’m guessing that’s the poster’s real name.

And also the poster’s real topic fixation.

I see tuckerfan has gotten some mod love for pointlessly bumping ancient threads.

Seriously, we didn’t keep the old Zombie rule, but you should only bump old threads, especially really old threads; with something new directly pertinent to the thread or a directly related question on topic.

Bumping 5 threads over 17 years old with nothing to add is just a pain in the ass for the Mod staff. If a new user did it, they would be treated as a troll and banned and posts cornfielded or deleted.

Possibly drunk or high posting? I absolutely don’t recall him ever causing problems on the board.

I missed that, but my guess, just on general principles, is drunk.

I’m just glad that when I am drinking I can barely find the threads that are on the front page, so to speak.

I very nearly reported one of those last night, and reconsidered, thinking, “established user, and bumping old threads isn’t against rules.” Mea culpa, I’ll flag it next time.

One in isolation is no big deal, 5 in an hour, that’s bs.

Someone flagged one of them and then I saw what happened checking on the one flag.

Over in the SovCit thread, wolfpup is trying to convince us cops are perfect little angels during all encounters with the public and that you don’t have the right to refuse to answer police question (unless arrested) and moreover you shouldn’t have that right in the United States.

He’s been shown he’s wrong, but that doesn’t stop him so at this point he’s just SovShitting the SovCit thread.

He’s not being nearly as big a fool in that thread as Lumpy, though. Lumpy actually seems to be at least SovCit-adjacent.

Sorry. I skipped a bunch of posts when I mentioned the glass bottle thing so I didn’t know it had been done already.

Maybe a touch of the neurodivergence? My son recently off-handedly referred to our dishes as, “The plates with equilateral triangles and parallelograms.” I’ve had those plates for twenty years and never thought of describing them that way…

Yes!

Nah, wolfpup is just inspired by the Gestapo. You’re an asshole if you stand on your rights with police. I’m still not 100% convinced that he accepts that cops can abuse their power either.

Happy Doperversary there @Saint_Cad !!

Too much drink, too much popular internet, & not enough recent IRL socializing can convert nearly anyone into a vexing closed-minded curmudgeon. Add some propaganda to the mix and you’ve got a raging MAGA on your hands.

Fortunately we don’t see much of that last bit around here. But too much of the former. Sometimes even including me. :wink:

Is MSH off their meds or something? This is Qanon type shit right here.

It looks like standard MSH posting to me (in other words, completely deranged).

I thought MSH was lucid most of the time, I think I’ve seen their name come up before in Pit complaints but I usually see them post something sane and not something you’d yell at strangers trying to enter a subway.

He took a deep dive into “MSM are all lying all the time” land. That’s not healthy for anyone, but for somebody with underlying tendencies it’s even worse.

I checked out some threads he’s started, and they tend to start out pretty normal but quickly veer into paranoid territory.
