He didn't accidently double post. He edited the second comment and added it to the first one. 6 out of the first 13 post are his.

Yea, he changed it.

But seriously, that's like forum etiquette rule #1. Don't double post.

The problem is "troll" is defined as someone who simply has a different opinion than the person claiming another is one.

Eh he's like an annoying little buzz. Casiotech, trident, many others have made a much bigger impact.

Neckbert definitely has a quantity bias vs quality. Still, he fulfills the British stereotype quite well, and more than just in his disdain for American respect for liberty. More importantly, he gets people pissed off and ranting for pages, which is the sign of any successful troll.

That would be true if it was one person who considered him a troll. The real problem is that quite a few people consider him a troll. If the majority thinks he is a troll..... It's obviously not us, it's him.

I know that I'm not going anywhere, because I choose where I go, and I've done nothing to warrant a banning.

uh huh. and you're a "mod certified" non-rbm, which we all know isn't true.

interesting. very very interesting.

I have two theories.

1) It is a rbm, but he figured out how to use a proxy to make it look like he's in another country.

2) It is a mod trolling all of us.


Either way, neckbeard is by far THE worst troll AT has ever had.

i'm starting to go with number 2.

i've actually thought it was an rbm who was using a proxy in the past to look like he was from somewhere else. he's admitted to using proxies in other threads, so it wouldn't be that far of a stretch.
