I have a bridge I’d like to sell you…it does come with one sub-surface inhabitant, though. ---

If the posts are cornfielded, that seems more likely to be sock than genuine CT. Props for the groundwork with the WP site, though. That’s some dedication to their art. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > You don’t think posting that \*particular \*OP in ATMB just as we _happen to be having contentious discussions about the way forwards in GD, and what should and shouldn’t be allowed, isn’t_ a tell? No. That’s also exactly the type of thing a conspiracy theorist would post if they were worried about being banned for posting conspiracy theorist shit. Or even a shizophrenic who had their stuff shut down. It’s definitely a red flag, don’t get me wrong. You were right to bring them up. The post is very suspicious. But a tell is that little bit of a slip-up that no one who was sincere would ever post. It’s when I know 100% that the poster is trolling. And I didn’t see that. And, without that, I thought it was too soon to be confident of trollery. The poster was right on the line where they could be a typical conspiracy theorist, could be a troll, or could have schizophrenia. I would need to see a few more posts to decide. I wish I’d looked at their other posts, but now it seems it is too late. (I didn’t click the links, however.) ---

From what I could see he was neither schizophrenic nor a troll (in the sense of being insincere in his beliefs). He just had some very screwed up beliefs. ---
