Meh, I just don't think it deserves this level of attention.
When I originally made the account (which was back in February or March of last year I think - check the Member Since date if you want), this was original intent.

With most people you would probably be right. The reason for me at least (and it's why Arkat squelched me and why we have butted heads) is that Arkat likes to come off as he his more mature than the rest of us and above most of our petty antics. There is an air of intellectual superiority, pompousness, and arrogance. So, when he created an account with such a juvenile nick, which posted ridiculous misspelled posts, and used it specifically to go into the mud and protect his main account. It's quite ironic and amusing.
Sure, if I created an account named Stainer's Penis and trolled Randy by replying to all his posts with comments about how sad and lonely I am...that's creating an account to troll and it would be funny and amusing. As opposed to creating an account to continue pretending to be something you aren't to impress a bunch of idiots on an internet message board. I think a number of us resonate to this because we wear our stripes on our sleeve. Good, Bad, Mean, Rude... we say it we own it and it's ours forever to have thrown back at us or for us to be judged on. Look at what Strakeln is doing with Oak...if Oak only posted nice things from Oak and ITG from an alt account...but he doesn't he takes his lumps.
This is also correct.
I made the mistake of telling Jeff (and Zippo too) I wasn't going to resond to him (them) anymore.
Where the whole douchey (and I mean REALLY DOUCHEY) behavior on my part comes in is when I used the Scrotie account to kore or less "go back" against what I said what I was going to do (or not do).
The proper thing would have been for me to never have told Jeff or Zippo that I was never going to respond to them again.
Then using the trolling account may still have been more of a silly move instead of the huge douchey one it turned out to be.
But really, while troll accounts are I guess somewhat acceptable here, in the end, if I was going to troll someone, I should have trrolled them as Arkat.
