> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > He’s not trying very hard. Apparently getting caught is part of his fun. He’s taken to claiming, on “another board,” that he isn’t really hiding at all and we’re all a bunch of idiots for thinking we’ve “caught” him. In other words, it’s the Pee-Wee Herman excuse: [![](https://i.imgur.com/removed.png) ](https://i.imgur.com/removed.png) ---

I have no doubt he is here under another name already. I have my suspicions about a particularly prickly poster who joined us fairly recently, but since I’m not sure I won’t make an accusation. ---

I’ve already been told by a mod that my suspicion is probably not accurate. It may be a sock, but not that sock. So, since I’m probably wrong, I don’t think it would be fair to name anyone at this time. ---

I vote sock: > [@The United States Air Force is unconstitutional](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-united-states-air-force-is-unconstitutional/947441/158): > > The Air Force is a flying Army. The writers of the Constitution did’t know we might have planes one day. I’m kinda shocked this silly argument has gotten so much response. I can only guess that the topic is making some type of disingenuous argument about original intent or strict interpretation of the Constitution. ---

I have looked at their oeuvre so far, and nothing about it seems particularly noteworthy, good or bad. They did apologize later about the “attack on the poster” part of this post. they didn’t get a warning because they are new.
