[Link.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=12830080#post12830080) **leedolee** think’s his girlfriend is spending too much time on the SDMB and wonders what to do about it. Some posters think it’s because leedolee is passive aggressive non-communicative jerk who would post about his problems on here where she can read it rather than talking directly to her about it. Some posters also, understandably, want to know who the girlfriend is. I implied that it’s possible there is no girlfriend and some others jokingly suggested he is a sock puppet. Moderator **Samclem** assures us that **leedolee** is emphatically not a sock puppet and to knock of the trolling/sock puppet accusations. Well I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that if **Samclem** can be so sure that **leedolee** is not a sock puppet then **leedolee** must be a troll and there is no girlfriend posting on the SDMB. If there was a girlfriend then **Samclem** would not be able to be so certain that **leedolee** was not a sock puppet of the girlfriend, therefore there is no girlfriend. ---

This seems like a passive aggressive approach to trying to figure out who the girlfriend is…Fucking creeper. ---

If there was a girlfriend then **Samclem** would not be able to be so certain that **leedolee** was not a sock puppet of the girlfriend, therefore there is no girlfriend. I don’t understand your logic. What is it about \*\*Samclem \*\*being sure \*\*leedolee \*\*isn’t a sock puppet means that he must be a troll? Why can’t he just be who he presents himself to be? In fact, it’s very possible that \*\*Samclem \*\*could be absolutely certain \*\*leedolee \*\*isn’t a sock puppet (using the same computer/internet connection, at least) of the girlfriend just by having \*\*leedolee \*\*give him the girlfriend’s username and comparing, uh, isp numbers is what it is, right? ---

While this isn’t my forum, I’ve closed this thread. Next time, I’m giving out warnings, instead of giving people the benefit of the doubt. Is there something in the water supply tonight? **samclem**. Moderator.
