Interesting. So he didn't drop dead of COVID or a heart attack. It still doesn't explain his sudden and complete departure.

Bullies and frauds hate being exposed and mocked for what they are. Why do you think Minty hates me so much, for allegedly exposing her new squeeze? :rofl2:

Some people don't like being told the obvious truth. I don't understand it but that's how they react.

Speaking of Lig, we touched upon an interesting disagreement in which I'd like your opinion: Do you believe you can learn and assess a person's personality online without any personal contact?

Lig believes no and I believe yes then gave the Turing Test as an example.

Given a long enough period of time, of course you can accurately assess them. Twelve years is plenty of time, is it not? :rofl2:

Minty's problem is that she suffers from terminal cognitive bias. Once she gets an idea in her pointy little head, that's it. No amount of evidence will ever chip a hole in that block of granite. It's what makes her the perfect mark for grifters like DeathSantis and #TRE45ON. She IS the perfect Trump Diva (one of her many former names).

There was one here just last year. Remember Capt. Underpants aka Rev. Hellhound aka Big Mouth Dollar? lol

HOLY SHIT! Rev Hellhound? He's here? Yah he got his ass banned from DP like over a year ago. He completely came unglued in a section of our forum called, "The Basement". He started quoting suspended people so they'd come back from their suspension and have to weed through his spam to catch up. Yah. That guy was a major tool! He bragged about how well off he was and talked about all the stuff he supposedly had.

Was he banned from here?

I don't either. It's very weird. The thing is, no one would probably question it except for when they use their made-up career or fictitious wealth or fabulous home in an affluent area or huge armory to denigrate and/or threaten other posters. It's simply delightful when one of the braggarts gets exposed as a complete fraud, isn't it?

Holy cow, I know what you mean. Why just this morning as my maid was bringing my my latte' I was thinking I should really take my private jet to DC and give them a piece of my mind. So I reconsidered, and after my daily massage, jumped in my homes elevator to my 20 vehicle underground parking garage. I selected "the Benz" today because I have that meeting with the King of Jordan.

What's on your plate for today, Owl-gal? :)
 
Nobody would make up the very genuinely enraged character that posts on this site.
It's me.

I tried to do an affected version in the form of a sock puppet, but I failed miserably and gave up the idea.
Now my account is corrupted, somehow and they won't let me start a new one. They never activated it.

And some are in their 60s and *still* pretending to be all that, while bitterly envying everyone else who really has the claimed life, career, family, education, credentials, etc. Remember BullshitBob?

Matt Dillon thought I was a "millennial" :) It was one of the rare times I thanked him!

That would be a realistic purpose but I believe it's secondary for most. Most, IMO, have self-esteem issues, primarily feeling less than others. They'd bolster themselves with a fictitious background as a means of defense but that could easily become an offensive weapon as you pointed out. It seems such people eventually go to far and implode.

Example: Great American/Terri4Trump.

On a side note, notice how many are RWers. Except for the sock Tigerred, I don't know of any (allegedly) LWers doing this. Rambos are almost always RW.

You can hide behind anonymity in any online platform. What perplexes people who basically troll here 24/7. Like Volsrock and Grokmaster.. where do they get the energy? There is no way they could ever exist in the real world like they behave here.
 
Dutch Uncle said:
Agreed. What percentage of them are wackadoodles? I'm thinking it's pushing 100%. :)

In Bob's case, I think there's an element of truth there (i.e. he worked for NASA). Obviously something went sour in his life (e.g. mental illness/alcoholism) and he's sunk into the gutter. It's not an optimal solution for happiness.

Speaking of which, while a psycho can be happy harassing and trolling others, their life isn't happy. If we each rank other members on a happiness scale, would all the trolls and haters be grouped toward the bottom of that scale? Yes, IMO. I have no doubt the majority of those who regularly participate on The Nice Thread are generally happier and better-adjusted than on other competing threads in that category. Their posts prove it by their focus on positivity instead of negativity.

Where would you rank me,Unc?

Lig seems normal to me but I have to agree her favoritism to certain JPP personalities and political figures seems both odd and highly biased.

Of course. However, keeping up a fictitious persona is harder than it looks which is why such personalities are only one or two dimensional as grokmaster, volsrock, truth detector and you prove daily.

My brother's air force career involved sitting at a desk and managing contracts, but he never tried to pass himself off as a hero risking his life for the nation.

Without clinical psychological evaluations, I always assumed exaggerated and grandiose message board bluster was linked to a lack of self esteem.
Click to expand...

I think the best example of a grandiose bluster-er is Hawkeye10. Sometimes I think he uses a random word generator with big words just to sound smart The way I perceive him is he feels everyone needs to learn things "the hard way". He's always saying things like, "big pain is coming" and "buckle up" like he's some kind of perceptive "sage" who knows what's going to happen. He wants to be perceived as a wise old "sensei" who's preparing his cult for the real world.

In truth, I feel he's a miserable, very lonely, very insecure abuser of some substance. He tries to exploit what he feels people fear or don't like and throw it in their face.

He's going to die sad and lonely :(

No, he just quit posting. The last screen name that he used was "Captain Underdog" which of course had to become Capt. Underpants. lol

He did the same things here, along with stalking various ppl. He even went so far to claim that he came up here where we live and wanted us to meet him at a bar so he could beat us up. He gave the name of the bar (one he randomly googled) and what time he would supposedly be there. Little did he know that one of my school friends is a server there. Predictably, he did not show. When exposed, he vanished shortly thereafter. He also had mods from another forum coming here to report on his trolling and doxing activities. He's a mess.

He kept changing his user name but his last username was Underdog. He was a pathetic pussified excuse for a man. A cyber crybully. I once posted the meme below to him and he became unglued with fright accusing me of making death threats to him. He left the forum of his own accord shortly thereafter.

So you consider your judgement on the same level as Matt's. I thought so too. Good that you're finally at peace with it.

You're free to make any judgements you like, Lurch. I'm at peace with people underestimating me, especially opponents, bullies and enemies. I've found it often works out to my favor.
