And a pretty good writer too I think (maybe I’m wrong- I’m not much of a reader).
The thing is though, to keep up such a charade you basically have to re-read or memorize every post you’ve made every time you make a new one to check for consistency, which gets to be more of a pain the more posts you have, and the errors seem to be starting.
What’s interesting is that this specific troll feels like a couple other that have come and gone. It doesn’t do much, comes, establishes a persona, tries to bait a little, then fades away. It never keeps going for a long time, nor ever derails into a glorious trainwreck.
Impotence of the trollish variety.
Is there some reason you chose to loft a veiled accusation at the poster in question outside of the pit, despite the advice you’ve been given here–and apparently against your own stated intentions?
If you suspect another poster is trolling, then by all means e-mail the moderators of that forum.
Mere false representation of your credentials is not in itself a major offense. Moderators are generally not going to have the time or inclination to investigate such claims. If you suspect someone is doing this, you are free to dispute them on the specifics of their knowledge. However, outright accusations of fraud should go in the Pit.
Misrepresenting yourself for the sole reason of drawing attention to yourself or getting a rise out of people can be considered trolling, however, and could result in banning.
I would strongly advise you contact a moderator about your concerns. You can PM me if you like, and I will pass it on if it seems warranted.
With that, I’m going to close this thread. I don’t think this kind of innuendo is appropriate in ATMB.
