BADecker is one of the most dedicated and successful trolls on the forum

[QuickAccount]

After seeing him around on Off Topic, and P&S, reading his posts and looking at his older posts, I have come to the conclusion that BADecker is one of the biggest trolls on this forum. It sealed my conclusion as well after a private conversation with him.

Im not personally attacking them, Im just saying that they are a gigantic troll.

You don't know how much I was hoping this post would be authored by him.

It's just dedication to reading up and going against what the popular opinion is but I think it kinda helps the p&s board be a bit different.

[RapTarX]

I don’t know if BADecker is a troll or not; I can't remember seeing his post recently.
But what BADecker being a troll have anything to do with the forum? Doesn’t forum allow troll? If it doesn’t, proceed with "Report to mod" and it does, what's wrong with that? If you don’t like personally, put him in your ignore list.

At best, you can move the reputation board. That's better fit such kinda post.
Edit- It's in reputation board

As I said, this is not an attack against him, I am just saying that he can never really give a straight answer, Im not gonna leak our pms, but he cant really stay on topic and always changes the topic to religion.

So what's the purpose of this topic if it's not an "attack" on him? 

Scared that things might backfire on you?
Anyway, if you think someone has gone off-topic in some threads, always feel free to report to the moderators. Let the mods do the Job. If the problem persists, just ignore the user.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

OP, for those of us who don't visit P&S or Off-Topic because those sections contain so much garbage, it'd be nice if you included some quotes to back up your position if you're going to accuse someone of being a troll.  It's not like sharing PMs; it's easy enough to just copy/paste samples right into your thread here so the rest of us can judge and form an opinion without having to search his username and go through his post history.

That said, this isn't the first time somebody's complained about BADecker's posting style if I'm not mistaken.  I'm familiar with the name, though I can't say I've seen any of his posts in a long, long time.

So what's the purpose of this topic if it's not an "attack" on him? 

It's an attack.  That's like saying, "I'm not calling you fat, but goddamn you're fat, you fat ass!".

[QuickAccount]

If you are going to interpret this thread as an attack, its closed. Im not scared of it backfiring on me, but if you cant read my words when I say "This isnt an attack" then I dont want to have a discussion in the first place.

[eddie13]

Doesn’t matter..
I highly doubt he cares you think he is a troll..
I am almost certain he won’t get banned..

He is amusing and sometimes comes across cool info..

He's a master of copy and paste with thousands of obnoxious sources like, he's the type of guy who gives you one sentence and then gives you two references to read the rest. I wouldn't call him a troll, though. Yes, this is a personal attack; your topic line says it all. But do not worry the truth always set you free but not to your woman or in the court room, lawyers and women love liars.

Doesn’t matter..
I highly doubt he cares you think he is a troll....

He never left the P&S and Off-topic boards, so I'm sure he won't even know this thread exists. However, I always have the impression that he is a man my age who is mainly interested in politics.

[nutildah]

BADecker garnered a measly 4.5% of the vote in the Official Troll Poll of 2019. He is a troll indeed but far from the biggest. I find he's a great use case for employment of the Ignore button, and if I ever feel like losing 5-20 minutes of my time pointlessly arguing him, I take him off ignore.

[PrimeNumber7]

OP, did BADecker do anything to hurt you?

He posts, and makes arguments in ways that are different than most other people. He also has views that are not mainstream.

I am willing to bet that if he had views that conformed with how you think, you would be saying very different things about him. BADecker is not hurting anyone, nor is he disruptive. If you see a post of his that you disagree with, I would suggest that you refute what he is saying with a well reasoned argument.

[suchmoon]

BADecker is not particularly confrontational so calling him a troll is a bit of a stretch. He is a godawful (no pun intended) shitposter, flooding the board with low effort repetitive threads and off-topic tangents, untethered to reality and not bound by logic or reason. A caricature of the post-factual society we live in.

However if you believe he's a troll then creating a thread about him is not a smart thing to do. Unless you love trolls and enjoy nurturing them.

BADecker is not hurting anyone

He regularly recommends people poison themselves with substances which are known to be toxic and potentially fatal.

What substances are you referring to? Ivermectin? I looked back through his post history through the beginning of this month, and couldn't find any mention of any other substance that you might describe as "toxic and potentially fatal".

[o_e_l_e_o]

His recommendations of ivermectin, HCQ, suramin, and other pharmaceuticals are certainly not benign - all these drugs come with serious and potentially fatal side effects, and are not effective for any of the conditions he says they are.

But no, I was talking more about when he tells people to drink bleach or chlorine dioxide, which he calls "MMS".

[Igebotz]

No, BADecker appears to be a medically inclined someone who would not counsel anyone to drink poisonous substances; instead, he would advise them to use the MMS to treat their water before drinking it and that bleach as a water treatment source kills coronavirus. (His theory)

But no, I was talking more about when he tells people to drink bleach or chlorine dioxide, which he calls "MMS".

He has already found the simple magic "pill." It's called MMS. MMS is sodium chlorite. When it is activated with an acid - like acids in vinegar, or citric acid - it works many times better than alone. This is because it become chlorine dioxside in the presence of an acid.

Chlorine dioxide is used worldwide to treat water. It kills off bacteriae and viruses in the same way in your body.

[eddie13]

Bleach in water works for uhhh, basically every city to kill anything that’s bad for you..
Pretty sure the government does it all the time..
We could get into how much to add to make water safe to drink, and how to store mass quantities in powdered form for prepping..

Anyone here going to deny that ivermectin does absolutely nothing in any way to help fend against a Covid infection??
I doubt it..

Don’t eat the whole tube of horse paste.. Do the math..
If you can’t do the math, eat 3 tubes.. (not really)

Chlorine Dioxide is sold on Amazon in tablet form that is intended to "purify" contaminated water. I have not seen any data regarding if Chlorine Dioxide will help prevent covid, but my guess is probably not. When used appropriately, in the correct quantities, I don't think Chlorine Dioxide is going to be fatal.

If you consume too much water (even if it is not "treated" with Chlorine Dioxide), there is the potential for fatal side effects. Ditto with oxygen. Both are also needed for humans to survive.

His recommendations of ivermectin, HCQ, suramin, and other pharmaceuticals are certainly not benign - all these drugs come with serious and potentially fatal side effects, and are not effective for any of the conditions he says they are.

Typically, these drugs can only be consumed after receiving a prescription from a doctor.

I understand that you are a medical doctor, although I am not sure what your speciality is, or if you work in a hospital or a private practice. I think there is a good chance that you have prescribed chemotherapy to one of your patients (or if not, some of those you attended medical school with you have). As I am sure you are aware, chemotherapy is effectively poisoning specific parts of a person's body with the hope that said poison will kill off cancer. The effects of chemo have the potential to kill patients who are receiving said treatment. Before starting chemotherapy, doctors will discuss with patients the risks and benefits of said treatment.

The same is generally true (or it should be) for other drugs, including those that are unproven and/or "unapproved" for particular uses.

[o_e_l_e_o]

Water purification tablets are marketed and sold as water purification tablets, are regulated by the FDA (or similar) to contain a pure substance prepared in a safe manner in a specific dose which has been studied and is known to be safe when mixed with the required amount of water. MMS is marketed and sold as a miracle cure for HIV, cancer, autism, and more, is regulated by no one, is prepared using unknown methods which often results in contamination with toxic byproducts such as sodium chlorite, is of variable and usually unknown strength and concentration, and is taken in various unstudied dosages. The two are not comparable.

Similarly, a very specific regime of chemotherapy, prescribed by a trained physician in a medical setting, with all the observations, monitoring, blood work, etc., to ensure efficacy and safety and permit dose titrations, switching to different agents, or stopping therapy altogether is not comparable to a conspiracy nut telling people to take horse dewormer on a bitcoin forum.

Sure, all pharmaceuticals can cause side effects. This dose not give lunatics carte blanche to tell people to poison themselves. Also feel free to Google "MMS deaths" or similar to see that this absolutely can be fatal.

I hope he’s a troll. The other option would be that he’s batshit crazy. I appreciate he’s one of the few users here not afraid to speak out against the whiny Karen liberal crowd knowing he’ll be trolled forever by the thin skinned crybabies. If people think he’s serious, it’s a bad look since a lot of what he posts would make a tinfoil hat wearer blush.
