Did Katie Holmes have a stroke?

We can debunk the turkey baster method because Tom Cruise does all his own stunts.

Okay, that was super funny!

But this thread. This thread was not. @Jessica_Taylor, I hope some of the other topics you have checked out are less creepy.

Nice job falling for the troll, guys. Or maybe they’re just the world’s biggest Katie Holmes fan, doing random internet searches and popping up to wag her finger in random people’s faces who for the most part don’t even have active accounts here anymore? What will you do for an encore, Jessica? Gotta be something we can have a collective faint over I imagine. Oh and welcome to the forum, by the way.

I don’t care that she married a presumably gay man, and I wouldn’t throw her out of bed, but it’s true that she can’t act. She’s in heated competition with Kristin Kreuk for the international “insanely hot women with successful acting careers who nonetheless cannot act worth a damn” award. The trophy is Kristen Stewart’s soulless fish eyes embedded in granite, staring forward as if to pierce infinity.

Eh, if it’s a troll it’s a very thoughtful one targeted specifically at Qt3. I can admire the craftsmanship in that.

Troll or not, it 's a nice little window in how our attitudes about things can change over the years. I find it kind of amazing that the Qt3 community is old enough that we can have fruitful archaelogicial expeditions in the post history.

You really seem defensive about something that really is indefensible.

Oh come on, somebody digs up a 13-year-old topic and decides to make their first post to the forum calling all these dead accounts dumbasses? Yeah I’m sure that’s in good faith.

Oh, I bought your premise. My point is that it doesn’t matter. We are entertained.

They’re not all dead accounts. Come on man, at least keep up!

All right, dead-ish. When’s the last time we saw Bill Dungsroman around these parts anyway?

It’s been awhile… maybe not even since Discourse. I can’t remember when we switched now.

Anyway, if that’s a troll account, they were pretty darn precise, correct and well this is a scary look back.

And willing to acknowledge it was an old account.

I do hope that the poster posts in other places. Always nice to have new people.

I think you might be conflating “troll” and “bot”. It’s weirdly specific and confrontational for a bot or spammer who might be trying to build up a post-count before hitting us with adds for generic Viagra, but if it’s someone looking to stir up trouble then sit back and enjoy the fireworks… well, such a person might well spend hours sifting through ancient posts looking for something offensive to bring to light.

What would drive such a person to do such a thing is a mystery to me, but many things that humans do strike me a really odd.

Well they already said they didn’t realize the age of the topic, and well what would drive them to it… well because Katie Holmes is a human, not a piece of meat. This topic in this age would get a lot of attention, easily.

It’s not that odd for some specific searches to bring up QT3 threads, and google sure doesn’t discriminate as to the age of a page it shows you.

Topic is generally fine, “tainted meat” comment was a bit iffy. I’d rule it OK re scientology association, not so much for marrying an allegedly gay guy.

It was worth having this flaming dumpster fire of a thread resurrected just for that pun.

The entire topic is discussing someone’s medical condition like it’s something they can control or that it has anything to do with a religion. I mean it’s straight up ignorance that goes on and on until it starts hitting an awful amount of stereotypes about women which equals… not okay.

That would be valid if she had a medical condition, but actually she’s just a shitty actor so it’s all OK.
