Is that really true? Let's take a look at some samples of your first 10 or so posts as "Droopy":
Droopy #1 wrote:1. Just one semester of logic at one's local community college would do wonders.
Droopy #2 wrote:I should also have pointed out the obvious-and classic-incipient totalitarian mindset of the author. That which we have come to call "Liberalism" is, when the gloves come off, anything but.

This brings my username here into harmony with that used at the MAD boards.
Droopy #4 wrote:You forgot, "or else...".
Droopy #5 wrote:After Shades reset my name and password, I couldn't log in for a while. It took some time, but its been solved, as you can see.
Droopy #6 wrote:In Cuba, the ACLU folks would be imprisoned or shot for being witless dupes. No one stupid enough to actually accept the rope from which they are to be hung deserve much respect in a system that worships at the alter of raw, unaccountable power. The right to lifers would be imprisoned or shot on general principles.

Mindless gibberish. What are you talking about?

Droopy #8 wrote:Can't you even try, Rollo, to debate an educated conservative with some degree of intellectual seriousness?

Droopy is my favorite cartoon character of all time. Droopy is all, and all is Droopy. Droopy is the summum bonum of all WWII era cartoon characters.
There is an unpardonable sin, and you have just committed it.
Repentance will be hard for this one...

I'm thinking that it's fair to say that this is a representative sampling of your posting, Droopy. So, the "periodically" and "now and then" in your post seem way off the mark.
What is this supposed to prove, Dr. Zin? A substantial portion of these aren't even ad hominems of any kind. I've been here since this board's inception, at ZLMB before that, and at MAD almost since it came online. What would be even more interesting are the hundreds of serious, intellectual substantive threads I've started in those years that were flung headlong of the tracks and into oblivion by intellectual poseurs such as yourself and Mr. Graham who have rarely if ever had any intention of serious analysis and discussion.
The Trailerpark has always seemed a bit overloaded with this type of interlocutor, but, or course, I'm sure that's just my own self delusion again.
