wotsits Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 the best way to notice is in the anti immigration / muslim threads, youll find loads of new posters (say currently oct 2010) popping up with like 1 or 2 posts and wading into the arguement, sometimes they even know other posters and ways they speak and what they believe in I did have my suspicions on that. Also when the thread has failed the troll, another comes on with one line (2nd ID) and sets it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I have heard about people adopting multiple personalities to back up their argument(s) some of them have multiple personalities in real life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INTERVIEWER Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 As it says on the tin. Does the forum attract a certain type of person/personality? Yes, this forum attracts opinionated, passionate people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky3 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hey, I only joined yesterday, again... Lost my old email account (changed provider), but also not had to come here for oooh, prolly a year... But, don't they mention this type of thing on Question Time, "I can assure this audience member is not a mark, even though this politician could not want for a better formed question", then the audience member states, "Well I am actually a fully paid member of the XYZ party"...

rubydazzler Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 yeah strangely the vast majority of em all come from one side of the fence tooI sometimes think that certain very lefty personas are all the same person, the same with a lot of the Muslim ones. Maybe they're all you, mel? Like that episode in am old Tony Hancock series when he was getting poison pen letters, and it turned out he was writing them to himself when he was asleep. Maybe we all contain multitudes? I don't think it attracts a certain kind. I think it turns people in self defence. When I first joined and started commenting on things, certain people were really horrible and you soon learn to fight fire with fire. But then again, it also had many amusing threads and posters. Sometimes when someone resurrects a few very old threads from the earliest days, I read a comment and like it. Then I see it was one of mine and realise what a crabby, self-righteous, argumentative Meldrew I've turned into since then! Monkey see, monkey do!

I'm beginning to wish the Admin would find time to do a cull of old posts, my own count is getting perilously high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
