Is Idle Thoughts in control of their account?

I got a weird message from Idle and I notice they the haven’t posted in a few days.

I think we’ve all gotten weird messages from Idle from time to time.

Ok, enough.

Anyone else with similar concerns drop me a PM.

Um, yes. I’m still in control of my account…

I sent people PMs out of the blue from time to time to tell them I like certain posts they’ve made or like them, as a whole, or just to shoot the shit, with something random.

It’s really me, though, trust me.
