Are you saying that _Stargate_ was not a documentary!?!?!? Sure, I thought there was some artistic license taken wrt to the romance between Andrew McCarthy (was that him?) and the Egyptian woman, but the space aliens were totally verified as historical fact! ---

Joined up 13 years ago, has made 6 posts in that time (half of them about adult thumb sucking) and just bumped a thread that hadn’t been posted to in 8 years. When I reported that, I noted I thought it looked like a spam precursor. Because I hadn’t looked at the join date. :smack: I swear, it looked just like the “English as a third or fourth language” bizarrely off-topic vague and generic one-sentence crap spammers edit later to add a spam link. From a 13-year-long registered user. 😕 ---

I have become convinced that people set up a handful of sock accounts at a time. Years can go by before they decide to use one. For all I know, they hand them out to their buddies. ---

> [@Folacin](#): > > James Spader, before he went all evil AH, right. But _Less Than Zero_ was several years before _Stargate_, so he was pretty evil already. Does he only do evil guys now? The only thing I’m aware of him doing lately is the TV show _The Blacklist_. ---

Does he only do evil guys now? The only thing I’m aware of him doing lately is the TV show _The Blacklist_. I love James Spader in _The Blacklist_. He is unbelievably good doing that role. It’s a fairly mediocre show otherwise. ---

For all I know, they hand them out to their buddies. Sleeper agents. If a troll really is patient enough to set up an account but wait years to use it, I say they should be allowed to post about and around for a few days just to reward them for that patience. Then get kicked out. Maybe a grace period of 1 day of posting per 1 year spent waiting for sleeper-activation orders. ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > I have become convinced that people set up a handful of sock accounts at a time. Years can go by before they decide to use one. For all I know, they hand them out to their buddies. I imagine them in a home (basement) office with buzzers and reminders going off, a big calendar on the wall, pens in hand, red circles around dates, people running from keyboard to keyboard… “Thursday? Oh shit. We need to log in Truthteller1234 stat! Could someone call Bob and see if he can cover for Suzanne tonight? We’re really short handed and there’s so much to do.” But the sad truth is it’s just a couple of mentally ill people that account for about 90% of all our trolls/socks. ---

So, Jews, Chinese/Japanese/Koreans, then white guys, then large gap before everyone else? That’s like a conspiracy race stew. Jews on top. Wonder how the nazis think about that. Both jews and asians above whitey. They must really love that. Wonder if he was paid in rubles, shekels or yuan. ---
