I just checked, and **Charlie Wayne** has not logged on for almost a year. But I think he’s still here, as I always believed him to be one of **Urbanredneck’s** socks. I believe **UR** has at least one other.

No, I think it was “Rio,” by some group I forget.

Re **Smash The Sate**

He was definitely not a troll. Smashie was just passionate in his debating.

Re **Aldeberan**

I never did know exactly what his deal was. But, I laughed long and loud when he actually changed his sig to “My post is my cite!”

The banning of these two caused me to come back and post again.

Got it in one. AFAIK he’s never posted anything except sneering, offensive drive-bys.

Looks like he does the celebrity death pool every year (since 2017, anyway. He joined in March 2016, and apparently lurked until December).

I know him from another board and the posts following yours were dead on. He is a simplistic moron who hates poor people with a passion. And he will never do anything but drive by and insult.

I guess for some, being a racist, a moron and a coward is a perfectly excusable way to live.

I don’t know if this qualifies as a troll, but there was a poster who went by several names (I believe one was Oat Willie), who figured out how to register usernames that perfectly matched existing usernames. So then he would post inflammatory crap under the name of a respected user, and had folks thinking it was that person. I seem to recall that this caused the powers that be to completely revamp the message board to avoid such shenanigans in the future.
