Well I’ll go out on a limb and say I really don’t think you’re a sock puppet or a troll. In fact I think you’re a good poster. It seems like a weird conclusion and misinterpretation anyway. From what I saw, you didn’t like the ruling we used to ban Martin, not the fact we banned Martin. Is that more or less correct? I went back to the ATMB thread yesterday and added a third post in fact. ---

I mean, Martin’s been on my block list for a while–just one of only 14–so no, I don’t give the first shit that they got banned. I did see your update, though. Long trolling. I love it! ---

> [@octopus](#): > > I could say the same about most of the hive and their economic, social, and political views. Other than the detail about it being fortunate. Oh yeah, about that hive, If that was true, Biden would be supported 100% and yet a lot of criticism can be found in this board of how he is not confronting the right at the levels that are needed or his half-hearted moves to deal with the issues. For real hive behavior you need to look at what you have on your side: [https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/vzx34d/this\_horrifying\_truth\_about\_whats\_going\_on\_in/](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/vzx34d/this_horrifying_truth_about_whats_going_on_in/) (Video in Reddit from a charismatic church in the USA that does not see that wall of separation between church and state and uses “woke” in the way I noticed a lot of the right is using it, as a way to say to other whites and business (that want to help minorities) to stop being “N\*\*\*\* Lovers”. The way they chant all the words in their “swearing” is what hives are made of. ---

I’d be more inclined to think that octopus is one of MH’s socks than for GrsysonCarlisle. Octo could just be experimenting with a different way to troll. ---

Octo is either a boring troll or mentally disturbed. And, in regards to MH, if you keep up a fake persona for 2 decades just to (quietly!) pull a joke on some randos in a message board, I may suggest you get some help. This is not normative, productive human behavior. Anyway, I am very open about who I am, can easily be traced, and really gave up worrying about internet anonymity sometime in the late 90s, a good half-decade _after_ my first doxxing. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > Octo is either a boring troll There’s no either about it. Some posters I have on ignore I will _occasionally_ sneak a peak at when it seems like they are involved in a substantive exchange on a non-controversial issue (or if, as with MH’s last bowel movement, they are just embarrassing themselves and I want to see what all the fuss is about), as evidenced by the replies to them. But Octo? Never had the urge. I honestly don’t understand why you guys persist in letting it toy with you. Put it out of your misery already. ---

I don’t see any reason to think he can’t be both. Though, do note that, by “mentally disturbed,” I do not mean the same thing as “mentally ill.” I’m talking about the type of disturbed mind that makes trolling seem fun to people. ---

This is not normative, productive human behavior. This is exactly what I came to say. Besides the revolting dickishness, I’m curious about the pure time sink. Trust funder who also has no real responsibilities (spouse, kids…)? I guess that’s unfair — some of our prolific (non-troll) posters DO also have real responsibilities.
