panty sniffer thread

[Anonymous]

Reasonable idea, but perhaps consider changing the title. It may scare off those who are new to the forum.

Do you have suggestions for a better title?

[Anonymous]

Awww Jeff, you are such a tease. To start a thread like that and then LOCK it.

I want to know if PS is also the "abortion is the same as slavery" poster?

Please don't change the name of the thread.

PS, do you know the first time PS was christened "Panty Sniffer"?

I don't know if he is the abortion is slavery poster. I'll have to check. I claim credit for naming Panty Sniffer, but I don't remember when it was. It was around the time when he was obsessed with Sarah Palin's panties, though.

Aren't you just encouraging PS to post more by giving him his own thread? It's like creating a shrine to his creepiness. Why not continue to delete or all out block?

He mostly posts over mobile networks so it's impossible to block him without blocking other legitimate users. I don't know if the thread will help or hurt. But, it's worth finding out which. I'm sort of hoping that having the spotlight shined on him will eventually shame him into a change of behavior. Probably won't work, but only time will tell.

I think it is a good idea; you might wish to move the locked thread to this forum, Website feedback, so it is less prominent.

The guy seems imbalanced in a way that mere shame can't fix. But here's hoping!

I like it, I like knowing that all those creepy posts are coming from only one person- I guess I came to this site after he was named. I used to think that there were a LOT of creepy trolls on dcum's political board, it turns out it was mostly him!

I have to agree with the PP -- this seems like it just gives the Panty Sniffer a giant megaphone: a locked thread named for him that draws everyone's attention. You may not be aware of how effective it's been to just delete his posts, but honestly, I had no idea that d-bag was still around until today. He had absolutely no effect on me or, as far as I could tell, on DCUM's discourse or environment. I'd suggest continuing to delete, if you don't mind the hassle.

That's the point. I do mind the hassle. I have better things to do with my life then to devote it to deleting stupid messages about anal sex and flies. I don't know if the current strategy will work, but I'll try just about anything at this point.

Maybe he'll stop posting or at least slow down when he hits high school.

[Anonymous]

You picture him in junior high? I picture him as 65 and fat. And, of course, white.

Jeff, why haven't you updated it in two days???

In all seriousness, I found it to be a depressing read. He seems pretty seriously ill.
