Yeah. I wonder what he's gonna do now. I'm sure it won't include trained psychiatrists...

He needs to stop watching youtube and watch some more youporn.

It's just about as productive.

I read most of that list and then gave up. Educated people understand the grammatical concept of parallelism. The list was written by yahoos for yahoos.

zooterkin · 14th September 2011, 03:14 PM

Seems he was so desperate to get back, he was creating sock puppets, so now he's banned.

Greedo · 14th September 2011, 03:31 PM

Oh dear, I kind of expected that, though.

I can't help but to think we'll see him again, sooner or later.

AdMan · 14th September 2011, 03:42 PM

Did he post as a sockpuppet, or did the admins catch him before that? How do they do that, anyway? Same IP address?

Apparently he created several sock puppets...

That just makes me wonder more if he indeed just was a troll...
I mean, there's no way we wouldn't recognize him, if he made more attempts at "getting help", so why even try? And several? Something's fishy.

They are understandably reluctant to reveal their methods.

Take heed of this warning. Make sure you've got all your shabti in one sock. The Reckoning™ draws nigh.

I was impressed with the speed and silence of the take-down. I didn't notice a thing.

For a fat guy in a tin shed, the Illuminati a very graceful when provoked...

Who are you calling fat? I mean, hypothetically, of course...

He liked it so much here he had another go as "iamtheilluminati" but his distinctive 'style' and limited range of subject material made him pretty easy to spot.

He's a goose.

He's also posting here as "aliensdidit" too. That sockpuppet has not been banned as far as I can tell.

Ah, yes. I forgot about that sock. I can't recall exactly what happened with it but I have a feeling he might have de-registered the account before he was officially busted.

Do you think he's just some kid having a bit of a troll, or a full-blown looney?

I've been trying to figure that out myself. I'm leaning toward troll. But we have been suggesting therapy to him. Who knows? maybe he's both a looney and a troll. It's not as though they are mutually exclusive. (David Mabus, anyone?)

He was recently banned at the BAUT forum. We haven't banned him yet, but now that I see that he's been doing this since august, I'm about to.

Obviously I can't be sure but my instinct is that he played the 'scared kid who needs help' card as it made him untouchable (and left him free to continue his spamming nonsense). Saying that, it hardly sounds like the activity that someone of a sound mind would engage in.

zooterkin · 9th November 2011, 01:30 AM

He was contacting me on twitter, but then unregistered that account too.

If Bulldog was trolling, he accidentally hit on one of the phases I went through in my journey from sanity to bonafide obsessive-compulsive disorder. I knew -I- was terrified, but I could see -nobody else- was, so I thought that if I just asked the right person I'd get the right answer and all would be clear, I'd understand what they did, and would be as unafraid as the people around me. I asked pretty much everyone in my life about my fears, and none of the answers helped. Of course there -was- no right answer. My brain wasn't processing data right so even good data didn't help. Bulldog's habit of repeating questions and then ignoring the answers because they're not RIGHT and don't HELP sounds a lot like my desperate quest for the 'right answer' that would fix my terrible anxiety.

...or he could be trolling for hits. That fits the evidence too.
