Anyone want to play?
Because, he is back, and I want him outed because I am pissed for him lying to me and gaining my sympathy.
Yer pal,
Satan - Commissioner, The Teeming Minions
TIME ELAPSED SINCE I QUIT SMOKING:
Six months, one day, 26 minutes and 19 seconds.
7360 cigarettes not smoked, saving $920.09.
Extra time with Drain Bead: 3 weeks, 4 days, 13 hours, 20 minutes.
Is it Skribbler?
DNFTTH
(i.e., Why do we have to have troll threads outside the pit? Also, why at all? Aren’t the troll trheads nuisance enough?)
What name is he going by now?
Uh oh…it’s Soupy. Do No Feed The Idiot! :rolleyes:
I’ve set up the stake and built the fire. We can roast him, or anybody who sounds like him, when we find him! :rolleyes:
Satan, don’t you have some virgins to lure into sin or something?
I think I know, but I’m not quite sure, so I’ll keep my mouth shut for now. 
I don’t have a clue who our beloved Mark is at the mo. but I’d love to know if you’re sure about it.
I know who it is!
Look long and hard at the next poster in this thread.
Yes! I cannot dissemble any longer. It is I!
Ha HA! I knew someone would find me out some day, but see how long I was able to play it along?
2sense, I am amazed that you were able to out me so quickly.
Or, we could just wait until Mark outs himself as he so surely will. Why don’t we just not worry about it until his latest incarnation becomes truly obnoxious?
I’ve got you ALL beat. Watch my post in this thread, dated 09-17-2000 06:57 PM (well that time is CET, ignore that). Our suspect had only three posts back then. I was indeed refering to the poster with this profile. Skribbler alright. It was his little gem in this thread that was SO Serlin it just had to be him. Also, his post here is Pure Serlin Paranoia. Classic stuff.
Over the last few weeks, I tried to provoke him a few times. But so did others. So credit where credit’s due:
Here’s mouthbreather taking a little jab, for example. Good work, mouthbreather!
Then, in this thread, I drop a hint using Pldenisons words in a quote. I still don’t know whether Phil was deliberately taking a stab at him too, although he has done so more recently.
Then, because he chose to use the Pit, I took things to a more obvious level here, after Pldenison already called him Serlin in that thread. See how he quickly stops responding to the thread after I ask him to answer my question?
So, Serlin. What’s the deal? Why do you keep doing this, knowing you are persona non grata here? You got banned for using 25 different login names, claiming it was all some sort of scientific experiment. Don’t you remember, Mark?
You know it is getting easier and easier for anyone to spot you. Why bother? Are you so convinced that your words are needed here?
In a way, I’m glad you’re wasting so much time trying to get through to us, or whatever it is you’re doing. I’m scared to consider what would happen if your delusional ideas were implemented on the outside world rather than on Internet message boards such as this one. You’re a deranged man, and you need serious, professional help. Take it from someone who knows you by now.
OK, I’m not entirely up on the ‘Serlin’ issue, not being one of the cool kids hereabouts but…
Why don’t we just lock out his IP settings at the server level? I’ve done it before on servers I’ve administered.
Just a thought…
Why can’t you people realize that it is threads like this that is a troll’s bread and butter?
If you don’t want to attract flies, stop leaving fresh turds lying around.
Ahh! but what of the thrill of the chase, the heady scent of concrete in the nostrils…
I think both sides secretly just love the game - and why not, concrete always loses ?
Come out, come out wherever you are
Couple of things.
It’s not about concrete this time. Serlin is a VERY different type. I’m not even sure if he’s really a troll. He is, admittedly, not stupid. He is just very annoying, a racist, an absolute idiot when it comes to women, PLUS he has been banned from the SD for violating the TOS. About 8 times, in fact, yet he keeps coming back.
Ignoring conrete would be the best thing to do. That would make him go away. With Serlin, the matters are different.
Look for the following screen names to see what I mean:
Mark Serlin, NITWATCH2, Rainbowcsr, Sentinel (especially that one!), LadyLust… the list goes on.
Banning him at the root IP would be a problem because he uses AOL 
Mark Serlin isn’t a troll, he’s simply a repulsive misanthropic jackass that enjoys pissing off reasonable people with his lengthy screeds and made up stories. After being uncovered as having multiple screen names, he claimed that he was doing some sort of research into bulletin board psychology. He is here not because of threads like this, but because he likes fucking with us. He’s just smart enough, and certainly demented enough, that he is not likely to tire of this behaviour.
Ahh, I see! A very different cup of tea. OK, I’ll mind my own business and let the experts sniff him out. Happy hunting.
I’m sorry Coldfire, I fail to see the problem you’re reffering to.
Not that I feel I need to explain my actions to anyone (except for administrators of this board, none of whom have responded to this thread or to me personally), but here’s the reason I did this:
I heard a sob story from Mark Serlin and I tried to be his friend. I tried to help him through his supposed “mental illness,” and I offered a ton of advice in addition to sticking up for him in chat and even in the real-life presense of other Dopers at the Norfolk fest.
Seeing his subsequent actions - all exactly what he did before, none of which falls in line with his “illness” he claimed - I realize that I fell for a sob story, when all along he is just an SOB.
So, I am somewhat pissed at myself for being duped and sticking up for this manipulator, and as such, I feel the need to have him outed.
Since he cannot be honest - with me in private exchanges or here - then I will do my best to expose him every time he shows his lying face here under any name.
And if you have a problem with that (I direct that to anyone above who complained) I suggest you avoid this thread and any others like it that might come up.

I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR:
Six months, one day, 13 hours, 0 minutes and 40 seconds.
7381 cigarettes not smoked, saving $922.71.
Extra life with Drain Bead: 3 weeks, 4 days, 15 hours, 5 minutes.
Even though I wish Satan would just tell us who it is so we can take care of the problem (although the game idea might be fun for a bit), I only ask that we be careful of one thing mentioned in his post :
Please, I know that emotions run high here, but let’s try to keep it contained to this thread and not let it infect the rest of the board.
