I wonder sometimes if I am the victim of a malicious rumour

maybe it's a stocking puppet?

maybe all that studying caused lj to knit his brows and then he ran with it until grant singer was the result.

maybe he doesn't have anything else to do now that the decade polls are over.

where is lou1s now? is he gone from the board? i detect a j@ggeresque tone to this fellow's prose

thought the same thing tbh

A sockpuppet? in MY message board? Its more likely than etc etc

it could be a class assignment? write an article about social networking. ilx an obvious goldmine for hacks too lazy to make up quotes.

this dudes writing does not sound like LJ imo

LJ is way more verbose and florid than this gentleman

well, he wouldn't it to sound too much like his own writing if it was his sock puppet, right?

lol

yeah that's what i'm saying max it's not exactly like LJ because LJ wouldn't be trying to be LJ he would be trying to be like the sockpuppet!

SO THE MERE FACT THAT IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE LJ PROVES THAT IT IS LJ!

james angleton up in this bitch

we shoulda been nicer to "Mr. Singer" as tomorrow's his birthday

SO THE MERE FACT THAT IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE LJ PROVES THAT IT IS LJ!

OMG, he's trolling from inside the board!

LJ is the kind of dude who will never be able to sound like anyone but himself

you're totally underestimating him max

jesus

?

; )

;)

in a certain sense, aren't we all socks?

who here isn't a sock?

i wonder sometimes if i'm the victim of an ambiguous emoticon

maybe it wasn't really him ;)

I am feeling nostalgic for the days when we allowed posters to establish a personality before ruthlessly attacking them for discernible reason.

OTM

sockspotting is such a sad little hobby - ppl come off like "here's a person we don't know - if I am the first to tell him to go fuck himself, perhaps I'll win a prize" or something. is there any reason not to apply a Pascal's wager kind of approach here: there is a possibility that this is a human being in need; what is the loss to us if we offer an honest answer and he's actually somebody other than who he says he is? very little; what, on the other hand, is the loss to him and to us if we attack him as though he were a sockpuppet, when he really isn't: worth considering imo. the worst that could happen is a regular says "lololol I can't believe you thought this was in earnest," in which case - I mean - is the fear of being "tricked" really so great that people are willing to risk having told a person in need "fuck you"?

is there any reason not to apply a Pascal's wager kind of approach here:

yes, this is an internet message board.

yeah I guess

depressing reasoning imo

^^real talk

the idea that someone who doesn't post here a lot would ask such a question to a bunch of people he doesn't know is hilarious to me--doesn't make saying "fuck yourself" justified, just saying

I am Garu's real gran. My name isn't Meryl and I am very upset to say the least. The real Garu may have his faults, but he is a handsome and well liked young man who never in his life did a poo or a wee in my flange or any other woman's flange that I know of.

like why doesn't this person ask a bunch of his friends instead of a bunch of strangers

none of his friends will talk to him?

Could it be that the only people stressing about omgz is it sockage for pwnage are perhaps guilty of indulging in their own ventriloquism on other occasions? Or a sad substitute for artfulness by the creatively blocked or bereft? My temptation is to say that if you are indulging in ILX overanalysis, CONGRATS for genetically engineering a monkey for your own back.

grant singer has clearly never heard of yahoo! answers

this thread has struck to the heart of ilxs own anxiety about its identity

could it be that we think it's funny to spread malicious rumours in a thread entitled "I wonder sometimes if I am the victim of a malicious rumour."?
