Has any Doper ever changed personality as much as Qin Shi Huangdi?

I'm sorry, my ears are deaf from all the TRUMP shouting you've been doing for the past 8 months. Can you say that again, Qin?

And since you are here, care to actually answer my question rather than just offer a "lol"? I mean, surely you must recognize how much you have changed recently and how insufferable you have become. Why? Was it a conscious decision, is my memory of you being a poster I liked reading completely wrong, or are you really oblivious to how nonsensically bloviating you have become.

My new posting style (which it should be noted is more a matter of tone then of actual content-the vast majority of what I've written is what I actually believe) was largely the product of deliberate decision, although in retrospect I almost certainly overdid it especially in terms of how people would receive it. I was annoyed by the way most Dopers essentially gave the same intellectually vacuous John Oliver-style treatment of the Trump campaign mostly focused on mocking his style and smugly predicted his imminent defeat, despite all evidence otherwise. It helped that I also frequent a US politics forum where "ironic"/"left-wing" Trump support is pretty strong and that the Dope has had a particular infusion of incredibly self-righteous posters (SlackerInc, Johnny Ace etc.) recently.

This is all very well, Erich, but when will you write a follow up to Chariots of the Gods?

You keep making these kinds of references, like I'm new to the SDMB, when I've actually been posting since you were in diapers--if people's characterizations of your age are accurate.

Nobody here gives a shit. Shut up or fuck off.

Said the hospice bound patient, shouting out the window to the young whippersnapper riding by on his skateboard. "Get off the sidewalk with that thing! That's not how we do things around here, punk!"

You should try something different. Why don't you try not being a total scrote and see how that works for you.

Where's a damn box when you need one?

ETA: Oh, never mind. Thought I was in the snark thread. Carry on.
