So are you saying you no longer think he is Walter Bosley in disguise? That instead, it's a troll who is trying to make you think it's Walter Bosley in disguise?
Check out the first post that I quoted directly above - this "Irreligious Survivalist" troll has
a 4-year+ history of impersonating real people, gleefully spreading misery and contempt on all of the online paranormal boards, and getting banned from every single one of them multiple times. So it's quite possible, likely even, that this appalling creep came here with the full expectation of being scrutinized after kicking up a bunch of poop (his lifelong modus operandi), and therefore could've carefully laid out the clues to a false identity like bread crumbs down a blind alley.
And there are three additional factors that came into play today:
1.) I kept calling him "Walter," which
should've pissed him off - but instead, he grew emboldened and cocky instead. That's the reaction of a troll who intentionally framed Walter Bosley, and who's now enjoying the success of his wicked little subterfuge: the malice of forethought required to pull that off is mind-boggling to consider - that qualifies as "true evil" imo. And we saw how Walter Bosley reacts to confrontation when mike went after him like a rabid hound dog - he gets angry and spiteful. This twisted little freak is
getting off on it, like that mental parasite in
Legion - that's a very distinctive and pathological reaction, quite different than the way that Walter Bosley fights.
2.) Walter Bosley is on a trip right now - he's pretty busy. So it made sense that Irreligious Survivalist's posts were brief and sparse over the last few days, if it were actually Walter Bosley. But today, he's been fully engaged all day long, with seemingly endless time to post here. That doesn't add up.
3.) Today I learned that
this same online troll used to post under the name "MU." Not "Mu," like the fabled ancient civilization, but "MU" like "Mysterious Universe." That's Brett Tingley's publisher. So this creep appears to have a 4+ year connection with that publication - so it makes sense that he'd see and steal Brett's photo. I hadn't expected to find an independent (albeit somewhat tentative) avenue of connection between "Irreligious Survivalist" and Mysterious Universe - what're the odds?
It's still
possible that Irreligious Survivalist is Walter Bosley - but these new findings would mean that he's been a nightmarish and reviled trolling freak all over the internet for at least 4 years now. And although I find Walter to often be super-annoying and arrogant, I'm having a hard time believing that he could be this much of a sociopathic belching ahole, and yet still somehow maintain anything like the lasting friendships that he's enjoyed within this contentious little paranormal community for so many years. Walter's edgy, but this guy is downright unhinged. Whoever this guy is, he must be
detested by the people in his life, because there's something profoundly and irrevocably broken within his psyche - I seriously doubt that someone this twisted could maintain a facade of personability with anyone for any length of time.
So if I had to place a bet on it at this point, I'd say that I probably owe Walter Bosley a big fat apology (sorry Walter!). He may not be fun or likable, but I've never pegged him as the kind of scum-sucking hellspawn that I find in Irreligious Survivalist. Apparently it was just a rare combination of
extremely uncanny timing, and the intent to deceive from the day that this punk created his profile, that led me to the erroneous conclusion that he wanted me to reach.
Apparently we're dealing with a Moriarty troll here, people. Lol.
God I wish I had the IP logs so I could track down this parasite once and for all...I've never encountered a troll with such a long dark history of playing mind games and spreading contempt, as this freak of nature - and I've been to 4chan, haha.
