Crying wolf?

posted by Robrob

Over and over again, one particular sockpuppet on TYT accuses the other posters of being sockpuppets.

Frankly, I am in total favor of the TYT management banning forever anyone using a sockpuppet, past present or future.

If someone constantly and falsely accuses you of something (that he does himself), does that make the accuser a liar, hypocrite, crazy, or what?

He insists he "knows" my true identify. The problem is this is the first and only name I've ever used on TYT. I suppose if he had balls he'd confront me or at least say who it was he thought I really was.

That and the thinly veiled legal threats about "dispositions" of the TYT PM log. Seriously, it's psychotic.

Yeah, let's clear the air on this. (4.50 / 2)
That way we can get back to "corps" vs. "core" chat, which is obviously what we all want.

It is his only defense (4.20 / 4)

Tough to legislate. All you need to start a new TYT account is a unique email address. And it can't be proven that two email addresses belong to the same individual, even if they are both accessed from the same IP address. (Plus, I have admitted to using two usernames other than OneHitKill, so I'd be incriminating myself if I were to second your proposal.)

A much easier rule to enforce would be, "NO KEN-LIKE BEHAVIOR ALLOWED."

It's quirky, to be sure.

A little too close to home having my remarks erased so soon... ;)

Bobo claims his comments have been erased. Please leave alone any comments from him on this topic.

The only hidden comment was the stupid one which was once again accusing you of being a sockpuppet.

It was trying to derail the thread, and I'm happy that it is gone now.

According to the wingnuts every new poster here is a sockpuppet. Must be hard for TYT to build viewership.

"I offered a formal surrender to Robrob"

And then continued to make accusations you can't/won't back up. You could just stop.

"The fact that Rob wants to carry on about this issue has become a running gag and source of amusement."

The easy answer then is to either put up or shut up. Or would that be too "manly" for you?

"I just want to go on record as refusing to disclose the identity of other participants, even though I've been the victim of malicious outing on numerous occasions."

It's all about you isn't it? Problem is, that's just a convenient excuse for when you make accusations you can't support. Likewise when you complain about people who respond to your posts or getting your feelings hurt and threatening legal action.

Please, grow up.

the last occurrence of the sock puppet accusation, here's one, and here's another one.  "Robrob is behaving much more politely than he did in previous incarnations."

Thank you Spence & Birdy (none / 0)

Glad i stay out of (almost) all of those "discussions."

They make my brain hurt. Even if I do get a few laughs here and there at how over the top they get. Seems to bring out the insanity on both sides.

For the record, it took about four years to convince Ken that I don't use any other nic than mine. Hang in there, he'll come around.

Props for linking to Twba calling him a bigot though.  That's always fun.

Type Portland into the comments search bar (none / 0)
"and see how many people live in Portland."

So you typed the name of every major city in America into the search bar so you could make a list of where TYT posters live?

Nooooo, that's not creepy at all.

What do you mean by 'hometown'? (none / 0)

I don't think I have used the name of the actual city I live in once -- it would creep me out and I wouldn't feel safe doing it.

But if by 'hometown' you mean where I was born, or where I grew up...yeah...I've mentioned that.

So, Ken, where do I live?

by opiman000 on 07/17/2009 03:56:17 PM EST

My bad! I called Hugh, 'Ken'...hahahahha

I am so confused by sockpuppets...
