Yes (none / 0)
I actually can blame you for being so paranoid.  Typically, when a new person comes to a new place where he/she doesn't know any of the people there, he/she doesn't just telepathically know what everyone is talking about when they reference things/people that were there before the new person came.  
So he/she might A) ask some of the people to explain it to them, B) go look it up, or C) Pretend he/she knows what everyone is talking about.  
I happen to have done (A) (and (B) afterwards.)  Can you really blame me?
Now of course where people are paranoid of sock puppets, (A) would result in everyone being suspicious of someone attempting to appear new.  But really, wouldn't you be suspicious also if I appeared to already know every reference that you made?

That settles it then (4.20 / 3)
Well now I'm convinced you are new around here. Newer than most, even. If you weren't, you'd already have drawn a thick, black line between Ken's brand of paranoia and my own.

Mystery solved.

there is no thick black line (5.00 / 2)
Ken is paranoid that some users are sock puppets.  You are paranoid that some users are sock puppets.  Inferred from "Just for the record, I'm not at all convinced by birdboy1's "I'm new here" act."- OneHitKill. So if I wasn't new here, even though my username is new, then that would mean that I would be a sock puppet.
If you find a thicker black line, please let me know.

Just what we need, another armchair psychologist. That's another thing Bobo used to do.

My mistake (4.20 / 4)
Oh, sorry. Are you an actual psychologist?

No (none / 0)
but I think I know paranoid when I see it.

You should have just said "yes."

UNLESS.....you are TinyDemon (and I'm not saying you are). He had real issues with everybody on the forum. He called me a conservative apologist or something similar. Obviously troubled. Dude was all over the map.

If he was really stretched thin enough to cover the entire map, then yes, he must have been troubled.

Occam's Interweb Forum's Razor (none / 0)

To me (speaking as relative newcomer (uhuh!)), it's fairly obvious that there are only 3 people posting on this site: one RW neocon fear mongering Nut, one leftist liberal freedom-hating loonie and one retarded or seriously mental guy who just makes fun of everything and posts asinine and often cynical statements including many pictures and fake polls and such. A little confusing though is the fact that the latter seems to be able to use even many of the former two's accounts. But at least the first two guys are quite consistent on their POV within respective accounts. I admire that very much!

Another thing befuddling me is where to put the Cenk-, Dave- and Ana-characters. Those appear to be the same as those people in the small video-feed (I'm not sure yet if that's cg or real; either way: well done, matrix-masters!), but they seem to be much more intelligent and coherent in written form, so my guess is that those are cooperative endeavors of the 3 guys writing all the other posts, the leftist guy obviously being some kind of editor in chief.
