Pointing out the most common and famous reference to "Jemima" is now a gotcha. You really picked a perfect screen name.

Thank you yes it's proven very apt for a career in pointing out the dimness of low effort baiters. Did you consider ending your nation not with "wood" but with "less"?

You cannot have this both ways.

Very mild snark and simply a wittier version of the username-reflects-the-posting-habit joke that you yourself were trying for initially in the underlined above.

Bad faith reporting, presumably? Any moderator who participates in General will be aware that the above user has a well-known track history of barely topic-adjacent bait posts followed by scattergun reporting of the derisive replies that such responses inevitably generate.

That's rich coming from you after you jumped in on a conversation you weren't even a part of to get a cheap shot in.

My man this is a gotcha so weak the homeopathy crowd will be breaking your door down to parade you through the streets for developing a panacea.

Factually incorrect. There is only about half an hour between my previous post on the thread on the same topic and that one and I have also made several other posts before that one in the thread today on the Shamima Begum issue. I have in fact contributed much more substantively on the issue than you have.

Conversation, not thread. And suddenly you're the judge of contribution.

Additional note, Gorm's recent contributions to the thread have been widely lambasted for their quality and shit-stirry nature by people on both sides of the argument and he's now claiming in the thread that he's being bullied, presumably in an effort to attract more derision that he can report.

An international forum where American issues are openly discussed- especially racial matters as of recent times, and especially by Ostro in regards to gender. But everyone suddenly wants to feign provinciality to pile on with the slams and laughs. Fine.

If I warn DI I have to warn Gormwood for the same thing, with a helping of Mods as Weapons on the side. So, neutral corners, both of you and behave.
