Title: Messenger revealed!
Post by: BadPoison on December 16, 2008, 09:37:39 PM
Ok, joke over!

I've been playing a prank on everyone the whole time! I'm really Messenger! Gotcha! I win!



[spoiler:112d4uv4]I wish this were true...

Ok, here's some logic!!!

1. Messenger's posts make me laugh!
2. Curio's post make me laugh.
3. Therefore the only logical explanation is that Curio is Messenger.[/spoiler:112d4uv4]
Discuss!

Can logic disprove God?
1. All apples are red.
2. Red is the color of my BMW
3. My BMW is an apple.
4. God exists!

Logic according to Messenger.

:D  So true...

I'm sure McQ or someone could check Messenger's IP and see if it's one of us in a persona.

A quick check showed he's not, as far as I could determine, and I believe Will is also checking on this, but I'm going to have a look to compare IPs more thoroughly tomorrow (if I don't forget!).

So true on the logic front, BadPosion.

Damn, I was hoping it would be curio. By the way curio, I really like your gifs and pics, but the ones with House are the best!

No there is no line. What they believe (and I don't mean everything obviously) is downright ridiculous. I do believe Messenger is a troll, albeit one that has stuck around longer than usual.

Well, the Atheism and Sex topic:
http://www.happyatheistforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2374

Did just what Curio mentioned (from the wiki) about trolling:

QuoteAn Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion


How about that?

Very interesting. Looks like he's been painted, with the color troll. And boy oh boy is that an ugly color...

That would be what I call a Berserker, someone who enjoys creating chaos and destruction but uses many of the same methods as a troll ... that said, no I don't think he was, I just think he was/is a deluded idiot and (to my mind at least) being stupid doesn't make you a troll.

Well, he would only be a troll if he didn't believe the crap he was posting. This is undetermined.

It could be e a dude from on yonder. How many people have registered through this site and then never shown up? It could be one a dem. Anyways, the guy is pretty funny. Ah screw it. I'm going to...

There's not much to say on this thread is there? Messenger is a looney.

You must be the antichrist.  For a moment I felt my world caving in, but alas, my faith is restored in Messenger.  Long live the king!

Off topic a bit.  If jesus' nemesis is antichrist, would the flying spaghetti monster's nemesis be antipasto?

...If someone here was someone else, wouldn't the staff suspect and soon find out by a simple IP check?  :unsure:

Yes, and that check showed he is not also someone else here, unless, of course, he is using different names on different computers in different locations, or some other method of proxy use.
