It’s weird to have all their posts disappear. I think others could have questions about those numbers and why they are deceptive. I actually think the debunking articles didn’t do a great job of explaining why.

Thats my evil twin brother. We locked him in the attic as a baby but he escaped when he was 19. He ran Enron for a couple of years, colorized classic movies, wrote the final episode of Lost and was a Trump advisor. Keep him away from the kiddies.

Sometimes I wish we could keep novelty socks like this, but I know we’d all promise to feed them and walk them but the mods would end up doing all the work.

Half his posts contained ugly slurs. I suspended him. Then i wrote the mod loop and said I’d suspended you, because i didn’t notice the extra “r”. But i suppose they’ll figure it out.

In before @madsircool makes an innocuous post only to be met with another mod saying, “I thought Puzzlegal banned you already you sick freak - BANNED, and stay out!”

Why do we think he was trolling **madsircool**? All they way down to the Jack avatar…

“Forget it, @mikecurtis, it’s Dope-town.”

(Okay, that’s not technically a Jack Nicholson line, rather it’s said to him, and I had to massage it a little to make it fit, but I’d like to think it fits with the spirit of the game that apparently only I am still playing.)

He also ended some of his viler posts with Shodans Mother.  
Who knows what his motivations were.

I’m not sure what’s more worrisome.

That we have stalker doppelganger trocks occ. show up here… [if that is indeed what all of the above kerfluffle was about]

Or that half of you stay up in the middle of the night to catch them.

My wife has some novelty socks. I believe she has a pair of socks, where each sock sports a hand raising the middle finger. I feel like there’s a metaphor in there somewhere.

I suspect he won’t have the chance for much longer.
