"Mr. September" is my general name for anyone who barreled in here like
it was September, insulted everyone immediately or made a general,
ignorant pita out of themselves, and then either hung on or scarpered
immediately leaving a generally aura of WTAF in their wake, or not
because they never left.

There are just those people.

Steamkiller falls into the pita category and is a candidate for "Mr.
September."

He's also a calendar model. Yum.
