Harassment vs Bullying?

Always give your sock puppets different personalities.

Good advice from great experience.

Kevin Eleven stalks me from forum to forum and from thread to thread, week in week out, month after month. Comments about my wife, my children, mental health, starts threads about me etc. And yet I haven't interacted with him since March. What is the term for what he does?

At the risk of sounding like an armchair psychologist, I’d guess OCD.

I would have said online disinhibition syndrome.

Why did you not mention my comments about your real-estate investments and trampoline skills? Very suspicious.

His nose > my gusset

Says the desperate man who thrusts his gusset into the face of everyone he meets.

(But if you meant that my nose was greater than your gusset, then you have my pity. I'm not really into bio-horror. On the bright side, medicine does keep advancing -- and in this particular area, it does so thanks largely to the trans community.)

Nah, it's just raspberry porter from Poland (Komes brand).

I suspect yours (if you had one) would not be so unsubtle as @FluffyKitty.

Unfortunately, in 2023 we will probably have chatPerp apps that can write consistently in different styles as if from different personalities, which might facilitate or even improve sock-puppetry in some cases.

This will provoke a backlash from the hand-crafted sock-puppetry and wind-up artist communities.

OK, nighty-nite, sleepy-pie. Wishing you cool dreams and a pleasant tomorrow.

That really only kicks in when it comes to checking the stove knobs and making sure the front door is locked.

But will they pass the Turing test?

Probably just as well as the natty-bratties.
