Poster(s) of the Weak: redcement, Archon D: terrorface

And now the first of our weekly series, Poster of the Weak, where we acknowledge the people who bring their very own brand of doltishness to TLS.

There are so, so many to choose from, although most aren't quite up to par with our dear Pyke. It was a tough decision, and even though I would've liked to make my first PoW someone I just generally despise, I'm instead going to pick two people who irked my particular brand of correctness this week. Why? Because I can, and I'm ostensibly making up for weeks and weeks of past idiocy. So here they are: the little-known, ill-received redcement, as well as the gamer extraordinaire, Archon D: terrorface.

Redcement managed to come from obscurity only to get her ass handed to her by multiple well-respected TLSers in my very own "Do you judge posters by their LSAT score?" thread. She started off with a gem: I think high LSAT score is predictive of the wealth of the applicant..the test favors white, upper class, male applicants. I tend to assume this profile of posters who say they score high, until their posts show otherwise.

She then went on to comment on the lack of stereotypes for Asians, state that one can't understand the seating arrangement of an airplane without having been in an airplane, and tell someone that if you're a rich 22 year old girl, you automatically understand the inner workings of credit cards, insurance, computers, and stocks. But then came the pièce de résistance:



"I guess I'd like to see more references to/tests for multi-tasking, alert ability to change gears, grace in the face of snide commentary, mindfulness, creativity, craftsmanship, compassion. I'd like to see hypotheticals about jack-of-all-trades who have to do the math on a new roof, church members in pews, food stamp documentation lists."

You read correctly; redcement would like to see LSAT questions about compassion and doing math on a roof. Because these are, "you know, skills that will be useful for attorneys." She goes on to misuse the word "empathy" and equate it with compassion, but by this point, her stupidity surprised no one. Now take a guess as to her numbers. C'mon. You know you want to.

154/3.0. No wonder she rails against the cultural insensitivity of the LSAT. Quite enough to make her my Poster of the Weak 1.

Archon D: terrorface is sporting a 163, 3.0, trashy facial hair, and a ridiculous handle. And even though he's one of the lucky few (URM), he still managed to get dinged by Baylor. How do I know this? Because Archon D: terrorface was apparently not humbled enough by his rejection; he still had enough hubris to start his own thread, lamenting what must so obviously be Baylor's loss. Someone pointed this out, and was immediately called rude and racist. Someone tried to defend this person, and was also immediately called snarky and a thug. When that person made a count-by-count rebuttal of the OP's reponse, he magically disappeared. People on TLS hate to be pwnt, but what they hate even more is to pwnt when their heart tells them they're right. I think it's due to a lack of ability to create coherent arguments, more than anything else.

As if this self-pity wasn't enough, Archon D: terrorface then had the gall to cite the Genesis as a reason an omniscient God and free-will can exist. He managed to remove all rationality from the discussion and turn it into an assumption about the Christian God. He showed no ability to produce his own argument based on logic, but instead cited the Catholic Church and introduced a whole new array of bullshit with nothing to back it up. A narcissistic, self-pitying, ugly, illogical believer with a 163? Poster of the Weak 1(a). Terrorface, indeed.
