> [@The\_wind\_of\_my\_soul](#): > > Or that there’s another trouble-making troll in the UK. It seems quite possible that this could be a different person who watched the previous fiasco unfold and thought it would be amusing to see what happened if a stranger popped in saying the same things Umkay said before. I would absolutely believe this as well. I’m not saying it’s Umkay, just the same breed (and I mean troll, not wheelchair bound) ---

> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > Maybe. But I am not overburdened with faith in the average internet user. Faking an IP I could buy. Faking an IP that matches the region of the accent they’re trying to fake? Less believable. I am at work now but when I get home I can make it look like I am posting from pretty much anywhere in the world. In other words, the IP came first and then the regional accent. Hey look, here’s a proxy from Australia! :Changes IP: “G’Day, Mate. Cheers from Oz.” ---

I can only hope whoever registers to let us know will share details of where the service is to be held, so I can come and say a few words, maybe sing Amazing Grace.

Bravo, dopers. I am kicking myself in the ass for wasting 11 years in a monogamous relationship with another message board that so far pales in comparison that I’m almost ashamed to have once loved it. This here is some seriously funny shit. And I just invested about an hour on the back story. ---
