His thread titles have got to be works of meta-humor (or… utter cluelessness). Like “Is anyone here tired of Trump and McConnell?”
Oh, and my reply after seeing that was:
OP, did you really want an answer to your question? Are any of your threads asking honest questions? Do you really not know if anyone here is tired of Trump and McConnell?
If this is all on the up and up, I’ll take you seriously and answer “Yes.”
Then there are his asinine questions about professional sports.
You’d think that somebody who’s a major fan of a specific year of a specific team (i.e., '96 Yankees) would at least have a very basic understanding of how professional sports work. Why don't teams threepeat, fourpeat, or ninepeat?
“Shouldn’t teams aim for a ninepeat, or an thirteenthpeat?”
What an idea! Why didn’t I think of that?https://en.meming.world/images/en/thumb/8/82/My_Goodness_What_an_Idea.jpg/300px-My_Goodness_What_an_Idea.jpg
D Odds: “As a Yankee fan, his posts make me embarrassed to be associated with the same team. I feel guilty and breathtakingly stupid by association.”
Yankees_1996_Champs is the very model of a modern Yankees fan, especially when it comes to his worship of “winners” and winning teams.*
*he’s started a batch of threads to that effect in the games/sports forum.
Bullshit. I’m a Yankees fan, and he embarrasses me too. If you look at any of his threads, you won’t find many actual Yankees fans agreeing with him.
Agreed, he is an embarrassment.
His latest IMHO thread:
What job can you get in a communications’ degree?
I hear it is a wide array of options…what job can you get with a communications’ degree?
He claims to have that degree, but in that thread his grammar and syntax are consistently a bit off (see thread title).
Just keeps getting better and better. It’s JAQing off, but poorly executed. Either that, or 1996 is too incompetent to use the search function to find other threads on the topic, and too stupid to have an informed opinion to profer. Or both.
Why am I a dumbass?
Why, because I have different opinions and I ask provocative questions?
EDIT: Second thought… never mind. It’s pointless to even try to have a conversation.
You think you ask provocative questions? LOL
This is a discussion forum…let’s stop being petty, stop calling people with different views dumbasses and let’s have discussions about certain things. Geez.
Your posts look suspiciously like they were composed by someone stupid.
Welcome to the BBQ Pit. It’s specifically for topics and discussion that isn’t allowed in the other SDMB forums, including calling out other posters for stupid or trollish behavior.
What exactly are you trying to provoke?
The posts look as if they were run through a free online translator.
More concern trolling from our fave Yankees fan.
He’s really, truly not a Trump supporter, you guys. But he’s worried, because those darn Democrats can’t do anything right! 
With apologies to William Goldman
Yankees_1996_Champs: All right. What is my major malfunction. The battle of twits has begun. It ends when you decide if I’m a troll or a dumbass, and find out who is right… and who is banned.
Telemark: But it’s so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man (if you aren’t a bot) who would spew his own moronic thoughts or copy and paste them from a boneheaded right wing site? Now, a clever man would produce his own flotsam and jetsam, because he would know that only a great fool would use arguments that are so brain dead as to not fool an adolescent cocker spaniel. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the idea that you’re a mouth breathing imbecile. But you must have known I can read at greater than the third grade level, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not assume that it take you an hour and a half to watch “60 Minutes”.
Yankees_1996_Champs: You’ve made your decision then?
Telemark: Not remotely. Because horrifically fetid arguments come from Russia, as everyone knows, and Russia is entirely peopled with trolls, and trolls are used to having people not trust them, and you haven’t posted a single line of text that would pass muster at grade school recess so I clearly can’t choose Troll.
Yankees_1996_Champs: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Telemark: I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Now where was I?
Yankees_1996_Champs: Russia.
Telemark: Yes, Russia. And you must have suspected I would have known the poor sentence structure and word choice is the hallmark of Russian trolls, so I can clearly not choose that option.
Yankees_1996_Champs: You’re just post padding now.
Telemark: You’d like to think that, wouldn’t you? You’ve annoyed nearly everyone on the board to the left of Attila the Hun, which means you’re incapable of forming thoughts more complex than “words = nowlig”, so you could be a total fool trusting on your self-delusion to save you, so I can clearly not choose dumbass. But, you’ve also posted numerous concern troll threads which shows persistence, and in perceiving you must have learned that man is moron, so I can clearly not choose the troll option.
Yankees_1996_Champs: You’re trying to trick me into giving away something. I’m not able to hide much of anything.
Telemark: IT HAS WORKED! YOU’VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!
Yankees_1996_Champs: Then make your choice.
Telemark: I’m all set. On the question of whether Yankees_1996_Champs is a troll or dumbass, the answer is…
[Yankees_1996_Champs and Telemark both post]
Yankees_1996_Champs: You guessed wrong.
Telemark: I don’t think that you’re one or the other! That’s what’s so funny! You play both roles seamlessly! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is “the Germans should never bomb Pearl Harbor” - but only slightly less well-known is this: "If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long would it take a frog with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a pickle! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha…
[Yankees_1996_Champs disappears in a puff of smoke.]
Telemark: You all right?
SDBM Peanut Gallery: And to think, all that time we just thought he had brain damage.
Telemark: He’s both an troll and a dumbass. He’s a Trumbass!
While entertaining, you still portrayed yankfan’s dialogue as far more cunning than it actually is. Which is not at all.
My question is if he is a Russian troll run by the Kremlin to sow disinformation and discord among the American left – whose borscht did he piss in to get assigned to this message board!
This is why the cries of “Russian troll” bother me. No actual paid and directed Russian troll is wasting time here. Nope, we just get the garden variety trolls, same as we’ve always had.
