Bingowings, your comments in the Off Topic section are seeming rather nebulous today.

wink wink

Jeez, I'm out of it for a little while and everyone twooffour gets delusions of grandeur banned!

Anyone wanna gossip enlighten me as to the cause?

All I remember is Jay got sick of his bullshit.

No public meltdown? What is this place coming to?

(Or, rather, "To what is this place coming?" Don't want to lose my "token linguistics nerd" credentials...)

Twobyfour didn't need to meltdown he was is a constant state of gloopiness.

Touché.

Oh my, read the most recent comment.

It warms to the heart to see him doesn't it.  I'm surprised he didn't make some insensitive comment about Qui-gon having Tourrete's syndrome or something.  Kinda nice to know he's still alive and out there.  As I've said, a strange, masochistic part of me misses him.

So that part of me I mentioned above that misses him...well, I felt compelled to search in Google "twooffour" troll.  Look what I found.

Always arguing, always ranting, always overwhelming others by sheer walls of words if not walls of logic.  He's still so funny to me!  I think I have a man crush on that moron!

I miss that guy.

I think ender needs an intervention.

Yes, indeed.  I can't stay away, and it really cost me last night.  I'm running on 1.5 hours of sleep, the rest of the evening and morning devoted to homework...all because of my compulsory need to be on this site!  So yes, my newest endeavors aren't so productive :(

Are twooffour and Easterhay the same?  Do you think they both fit the bill for Paranoid Personality Disorder?

Wikipedia says:

The World Health Organization's ICD-10 lists paranoid personality disorder as (F60.0) Paranoid personality disorder.^[5]

It is characterized by at least three of the following:

1. excessive sensitivity to setbacks and rebuffs;
2. tendency to bear grudges persistently, i.e. refusal to forgive insults and injuries or slights;
3. suspiciousness and a pervasive tendency to distort experience by misconstruing the neutral or friendly actions of others as hostile or contemptuous;
4. a combative and tenacious sense of personal rights out of keeping with the actual situation;
5. recurrent suspicions, without justification, regarding sexual fidelity of spouse or sexual partner;
6. tendency to experience excessive self-importance, manifest in a persistent self-referential attitude;
7. preoccupation with unsubstantiated "conspiratorial" explanations of events both immediate to the patient and in the world at large.

He seems to fit the diagnosis to me.  It'd be fun to play psychologist and find examples of how he meets the underlined/bolded criteria! ;)

I originally put the odds of them being the same at 50/50.  But when he ignored my accusation (not even a fake "what does that mean?") and then posted this, the odds went up significantly.

I completely agree.  He doesn't even try to play it off.  It seems pretty likely.  Oh, happy day!

Incidentally, here's more.  What's great is you can actually go back in the thread and read his comments as twooffour.

Biggest discrepancy is his mention of a son old enough to watch Star Wars.  Could either be a cover or he could be a father (though I don't recall him ever mentioning mentioning any children of his own), but earlier in the thread he makes it sound like he lives with his adolescent brother.  If he gave his correct age when describing an anecdote, he's approximately 24 years old today, give or take.

His posts are shorter too.  I dunno.  We may have to try to agitate him to get him to admit to something.  I'll see what I can drum up ;)

I believe our twooffour mentioned once that he doesn't have kids. He also admitted to being a college freshman, FWIW (not that that was any big surprise).

Well, maybe they just have similar issues.  Still not entirely sure, however.

You can never tell on a forum though. Take Angel, for instance; For a long time his posts weren't written in very good English. But suddenly a new member appeared, who wrote in perfect English, spouting all sorts of crap in the ESB:R thread and suddenly Angel was banned. I can't remember if the reasons why Angel was banned for this was made public, so i won't go into that, but to many it seemed like this person WAS Angel. He got unbanned claiming it wasn't him. Yet recently Angel reappeared in one of the threads demanding that 005 remove all his mock-ups from his site and had a bit of a rant about me and that he wouldn't be back here ( or something like that). But the funny thing was that he was now writing in perfect English, in the same  way the other account was posting which claimed not to be him. Strange that isn't it? I guess they were one and the same person all along.

So, just because someone you think could be a sock account mentions different details about their life, or has a slightly different writing style, doesn't necessarily mean that they are two different people.

And i'm not saying that Easterhay is twooffour, by the way, just giving something as an example.

Man, Angel is a piece of work.  Wouldn't surprise me one bit if he and ABC were the same dude.

Angel was Greek, I believe, while ABC/XyZ was obviously French.  And considering I had a little extra association with Angel, I'm confident about that.  Kinda weird how that whole mess went down.

Anyway, I'm sure we're  all pretty confident by now that our favorite Paschal horse feed is not the same as twooffour.  He can be reasoned with and generally seems respectful, in spite of a couple of flared tempers.  I enjoy his posts far more than twooffour's for their actual content, and he is not nearly so arrogant.  Oh well.
