Holy fuck, you people are pathetic. It is taking you 3 pages to vent your dislike of a person? Get a life. If you really don’t like her comments so much, just don’t read them. To flay around in a pit thread for three pages, patting each other on the back for acting like fucktards is childish.

It’s kind of hard to ignore her when she goes about hijacking other people’s threads with her disruptive brand of bullshit, then when pressed for an explanation she leaves with a cryptic remark meant to paint her as the Grand Martyr of Oppressed Truth. If any poster ever deserved a pitting, it’s her. It’s just the Straight Dope’s own antibody system kicking in. She needs to know this board is for open-minded discussion and is not a platform for making herself feel superior to those damn queers and liberals.

And we’re still at two pages, hon.

I haven’t previewed to read the rest of this so maybe she does show up again, but the first example is odd enough. She is averaging almost 12 posts per day. TWELVE!! And I don’t recall it being a bunch of post-padding "me too"s or lawn chairs either. She’s been _all over_ GD, basically plastering herself onto that forum since she arrived.

Now I can understand that someone with only a little spare time to browse the boards might want to abstain from getting into a lengthy discussion clarifying a position. People around here can be pesky with “cite please” requests that border on the ridiculous, and other such time consuming “I demand you explain yourself and support this assertion” sort of things. If you were a casual board-dweller, you would probably just say “eh, doesn’t matter, let 'em keep asking, I don’t have the time.” But if you are averaging TWELVE posts a day, that’s just ridiculous.

Hey, I think I’m about 12 posts per day.

And they are BOTH Canadian. I don’t have a bio on Paul, but he seems to be focussing on some very Canadian projects lately, so I _may_ be speaking out of turn.

Brendan Fraser is quite certainly Canadian. At the time I was in university for a hospitality degree, his father was a high-ranking official with Tourism Canada. I had it all worked out: I was going to marry Brendan and go to work for his father. But I do believe that this line of thought is hijacking the thread a bit.

mea culpa.

I can handle **WV\_Woman** ’s penchant for making inflammatory posts on a “hit and run” basis and refusing to defend them.

What I find less forgivable (and far more ‘creature who lives under a bridge’-type behaviour) is her posting tripe like

> [@](#):

in a [GD thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2313021#post2313021) and leaving it up to other posters to correct the misinformation she is spreading.

I guess the surgeon who dealt with my ectopic pregnancy must have been incompetent as he only removed the affected fallopian tube. :rolleyes:

Lay off **Brutus** , at least in this thread. Yes, his views are obnoxious and occasionally racist, and he shows little if any tact. But he does defend said viewpoints. And he does have a sense of humor about them. I remember I said something about conservative nutjobs and he replied, “Why do you think we watch Red Dawn every day? To prepare!” or something along those lines. You have to give him at least a little credit for that.

Also, he does not post them day and night nonstop. Since Wednesday I’ve been sitting here mostly unable to go out or do anything because of recent surgery, and had insomnia for part of this time, and **WV\_Woman** is still out-posting me. And she posts her stupid-ass invective in every possible forum. She could be the first person to be a dumbass in the 6 most posted-in fora.

What’s worse is that she absolutely refuses to defend any viewpoint whatsoever. She doesn’t have the grapes to come in and defend herself as an myriad respected Dopers and myself have railed on her ignorance. If she is banned she shouldn’t just have BANNED under her name. She should have IMPEDIMENT TO THE PROLIFERATION OF KNOWLEDGE under there. She is a complete and utter waste of bandwidth. **WV\_Woman** , you are a scourge upon these boards. Go to [www.freerepublic.com](http://www.freerepublic.com), where you’ll be infinitessimally more popular. But the purpose of these boards is to Fight Ignorance. You want to Fight Intelligence. You must go.

People should not be allowed to unionize (and I understand the UPS and FedEx are unionized too), so that they will not strike, work for less wages and be thankful that they have a job and not be so uppity. There is nothing so gratifying to the heart as a middle manager who knows that his or her underlings are terrified of getting on his or her bad side and worried about getting fired.

**Taggert** is an alledgedly witty satirist who has already been taken to the pit once for his asinine rantings (by **Desert Geezer** , if you’re curious). I assume that he will be taken to the pit again. And again. And again. And so on and so forth, until his eventual banning.

Hey **Guin** , as you pointed out, I see you are up around 12 posts per day too…but you wear them well, so to speak.

As regards **taggert** , I think that post that was quoted was meant to be satirical. Admittedly, the art of satire has diminished somewhat since _Candide_, but I don’t mind. Perhaps there’s a fine line between trolling/satire/parody, but I think we’re working that one out right now in the Pit.

As regards **Brutus** , I actually thought a couple of the quotes you cited from him were reasonably defensible positions. If he didn’t defend them reasonably after making them, then he suffers from the exact same thing as **WV\_Woman**. It was right of **techchick** to point out that not everyone here is a leftist, I think perhaps some people get off on martyrdom.

Personally, as a relative newcomer, I’m wondering about the fate of some of these posters. I think it’s a little presumptious to predict an eventual banning, as **grim spectre** has done. In the past, do people who come off like this early on survive to mellow out, keep posting in the same brash and bold style, or some other alternative entirely? I wonder in a general sense of course, since I must imagine that suggesting any particular person will end up being banned is probably against somebody’s rules somewhere.
