I miss King Lear.

He should be unbanned the day of the midterms for comedic value

This. Otherwise, his trolling shouldn't go unpunished.

^This. Lear trying to convince Atlas that the GOP could still hold onto the House after conceding WI-01 would be great craic.

The Atlas trend of glorifying banned posters that mostly everyone wanted banned at the time they were actually here is getting really old.

And I miss that tick that dropped on me in the summer of 2010.

Seems way more unhinged on reddit

He was Col. Roosevelt and LBJ Revivalist, right?

"As a Marxist-Leninist, you American Liberals disgust me with your constant bloodlust for War with Russia, along with the fact you people care more about fetishized liberal causes like “LGBTQI rights” (whatever the f*** that means), instead of the real plight of the international proletariat. This is evidenced in the fact that you will praise a corrupt American bank like Goldman-Sachs just because they have a few Homosexual employees, while ignoring the fact that they take part in the exploitation of the American proletariat"


Yeah no... I don't miss this clown.

I miss opebo. Derek in his 2010 iteration was also a pretty amusing troll.

Wasn't he a pedophile? Am I thinking of someone else?

Opebo? Yeah, probably. He was an American expatriate in Thailand who was on this forum for 11 years (2003-2014), until he was banned for posts on another forum where he implied he'd frequented underage prostitutes. In some of his earliest posts, before moderation on here was really a thing, he also expressed support for NAMBLA.

But, I mean, it's the Internet. You don't have to interact with people on here face-to-face, and he provided interesting analysis of things in the United States and was an invaluable resource on all things Southeast Asia. His writing was funny and insightful, he'd been part of the community for over a decade, and he was banned for things done on another website rather than rule-breaking here. No reason to get rid of a guy like that.

I’m glad this thread was revived if only so I could gaze upon this masterpiece of a post
