> [@Eliahna](#): > > [Devil’s advocate]Because a guy who came to paraplegia suddenly in early adulthood might have a different perspective on things than a guy who has been in one most of his life? Because sometimes it’s only when you brainstorm with others in a similar situation to you that you realise something is a common experience to you both/all and not unique to you? Because you lack mad social skills and reach out to others using lame cover stories because you don’t know any other way to make a friend? Ahhh. Definitely weird but considering the source, plausible. ---

I think though that people have met him at Dopefests. Am I wrong? ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > I think though that people have met him at Dopefests. Am I wrong? My impression as well. **etv78** is many things, and I think “wheelchair user” is actually one of them. ---

I took the “cover story” to be the “researching for a book” part, not the fact that he’s disabled. ---

> [@woodstockbirdybird](#): > > [This](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=661446) was the thread where I realized what an absolute dumb-ass he was. Pretty much _everybody_ gave him the same advice, which he utterly ignored over and over as evidenced by his increasingly pathetic responses. Holy shit. Posts 220, 221, 222 on the last page stretch credibility. ---

> [@PlainJain](#): > > Holy shit. Posts 220, 221, 222 on the last page stretch credibility. As good as this board can be at ferreting out made-up crap, I’m shocked that only one or two people in that thread seemed suspicious. ---

I couldn’t force myself to slog through that mess, but dammit, your efforts paid off! I don’t care, I still think those specific posts are all stupid, no troll. What a maroon… ---

Don’t know why but suddenly felt a strong urge to chime in and throw my support behind the OP. **etv78** really is a major fucking moron, a disgrace to this board, and I wish that TPTB would just ban him on general principle rather than wait around for him to actually break some oddly construed set of rules. Who needs him here? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/every-reason-etv78-is-a-moron-from-his-own-ops-only-since-12-1-12/646381.md?page=2)
