I think it is Carl Berry. In the first time posting thread Carl wrote > [@](#): > > WE’VE BEEN HAD !! Congrats to a master! Now he is trying to get everyone to leave the kid alone and also to leave Donny alone as well. Did he switch from thinking it was a fake to thinking this kid(s) are for real? I don’t think so.

Ok, if the folks running things _know_ who this offensive little turd is, why won’t they reveal him/her/it, and squash it like the pimple it is? I should just walk away from this thread, but it’s like a flaming car wreck on the side of the road- you just feel compelled to look. ☹ PR * * * If you’re not part of the solution you’re just scumming up the bottom of the beaker.
