**december** lasted a long, long, long time. More recently there was wossname with the climate change denial obsession. Trolled like a mofo but at least he kept it all in one giant thread. I’ve forgotten the name but \*\*GIGObuster \*\*probably still has PTSD about him. ---

What? No love for The Dio Show yet? (I never did know how to pronounce his name, even in my head, but he was a cynical bastard.) I have a vague recollection of a thread about cow mutilation that got weird, too. ---

It’s been a while, and I may be confusing screennames with the names they used on the Fathom board back when I was modding there. But I can’t help recalling **Johnsbury** and **DrWatson**. ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > What? No love for The Dio Show yet? (I never did know how to pronounce his name, even in my head, but he was a cynical bastard.) Diogenes? He wasn’t a troll. He was just a tad overexcitable. By which I mean that at the drop of a hat he’d hop onto the first bus to Crazytown. But not a troll. ---

Really, among recent history, no one was as worst as pedophile-defending, “[women were ok with sexual harrassment in the 1960’s, so the rise in sexual harrassment complaints lies with today’s women, who just aren’t built the way they’re supposed to be](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21235824&postcount=112)” **Sharting Fartist** , a poster so despicable I argued that, viewing this Board as a business, the SDMB [couldn’t afford to keep him around](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21238549&postcount=161). ---

Back during my first stint as a moderator, there was a repeat sock puppet who would just not give up. Like, it once registered 26 names in a row, one for every letter of the alphabet, as quickly as the board would let it. I don’t think that any of its names lasted long enough for non-moderators (who wouldn’t have known it was all the same person) to remember it, though. ---

> [@Giraffe](#): > > [That was jaymac1](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=696592). Probably one of the funniest troll threads of all time, given his exquisitely poor timing and comically bad “proof”. It’s a real shame that the imgur link to his “proof” doesn’t work anymore, it was total genius and I have total respect to him for putting it up there. ---

He was warned to keep all that shit confined to one thread. I got over it when he came crying to the Giraffe Boards and I was a mod there. 🙂 But really, I did not get involved in any moderator discussions nor was I who put him in The Box. His trolling was noticed with no input from me, and for me the best revenge is when others do notice right away what a jerkoff he was/is. ---

> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > **Asahi** has been annoying lately but… like… no? Not even close to as bad as such mediocre shitbags like **HurricaneDitka** , let alone since-departed plagues like **Starving Artist** or **Clothahump**. I never minded **asahi** that much before. My opinion of him has plummeted with his participation in the recent thread whereupon poster Huey Freeman was pitted. He’s a prolific, vapid nuisance who will take vile, beyond the pale stances just for attention. ---

Read only this page. All of’em way before my time, but saw snippets of, in older threads. What was the deal with Evil Captor? Or that self-incriminating p.o.s. Rosario? Pseudotriton Ruber Ruber or whatever the sod’s name was seemed quite the inward shlub. And that useless dingleberry Scylla ---
