Dear Paracasting Trollop,

Welcome to The Paracast Community Forums!

We welcome you aboard, and hope that you'll have a great time here with our community as well.
 
Gene I am quite curious as to who this person is behind these 3-day puppets? Someone must have a really petty grudge against the show. Either it's someone previously banned from the forum, or even better, a former guest who was exposed or slagged off on the show?

It's definitely an adult writing but obviously one that is emotionally stunted a bit and has difficulty making friends etc. Really, normal adults without mental health issues look upon the creation of sock puppet accounts a really cowardly, childish act and not something a grown man/woman should be engaging in. Anyone spending regular free time and thought on something negative - well it surely can't be a good sign that the rest of their lives is ok?

I think you're right Goggs.
Picking cyber fights and being a general douchebag on a website is not the sign of a healthy balanced person. I just get the feeling I've interacted with him before, especially after Chicago said he wasn't my buddy and had no wish to be.
Maybe he'll just get tired of being banned and move on.

Well given his more recent posts and the ones from this past spring he seems to have a serious jonesing for that time traveling guy whose name we can't pronounce bah-sahg-io, bay-sage-eo ?

Some people just have hate in their hearts for some reason.

So they hate The Paracast because we're successful, because we run lots of ads (as all network radio shows do), or because we don't believe everything we're told.

So they hate me because I've had ongoing financial problems and have made public appeals for help. They'd rather have me just "take it" and starve to death.

Yes, lots of hate in this world.
 
Aargh ! After stating in another post that trolls are generally self-limiting parasites, I read this and realize I may have underestimated the douchebagacity of some people. At any rate, thanks to Gene and others for taking out the trash.
 
No, it appears that despite being called out and called a saddo, up they get for round 2 - I doff my hat to our contender; if you are gonna do something you might as well approach it with some determination. No chance of 'manning' up and no longer hiding like an adult!

Cos that's what we are talking about. Grown-up and mature people can bring up grievances directly to people in the first instance. If someone has a genuine grievance then there is no reason for them to remain anonymous?

That's the exact part that makes me think this person does have a grievance but it's one that is petty, personal and only in their heads. If it was genuine and could damage the intended target, then that weapon would already have been fired. No, this is all we get, an 'adult' hiding behind a string of fake names desperately trying to cling on with contact the forum. The idea of being unable to 'subject forum members to abject cyber-terror' must be truly terrifying for our troll?


Now, I promise you the following is not a loaded question;)...

How many forum members can claim congenital gullibility? I mean how many members believe anything Basiago says about Mars/time travel/Obama/NinjatTurtles is true?
 
We're talking about meat-bot trash, programmed by frustration channeled through a stunted emotional intelligence and given life by a mistaken sense of anonymity. An automaton of angst and envy, blindly repeating the same emotional programs in search of an unattainable vindication. A thing searching for person-hood.
