...is MeansToAnEnd, I have begun speculating. They both troll and both have the same structured name. Am I the first to realize this? Am I late to the party? Will this be sent to Spam?

You totally win the thread about you. Nice job by replying first!

You arn't, I realised this right from the start and many people did as well I believe. The way he types is identical to freedom and glory, always presenting something as a mission "in order to... we must.. to ensure preservation for my country etc....", as well as high end vocabulary. They are almost certainly the same person.

lol...forensic linguistics

Whoever he is, or used to be, he's a troll, and should be paid no heed.

Thank fuck for that. Two of them would be a poor outlook for humanity.:D

Sel, you're saying what ollie, myself, and many others have said for a while now. I caught him in a little circular logic trap a while back when he claimed that MTAE shared his political views and they were in agreement when his join date is a wee bit after MTAE was banned for life. It was the way he said it that gave him up insinuating that he had first hand knowledge of MTAE when he couldn't possibly have read any of his posts due to the dates of their creating and deletion. MTAE/FAG is a little bit wiser now as he has learned to manipulate the rules a bit better. Alas, he will slip up and be deleted just like his former Moniker(s) because you can only troll so long before the mods grow tired of it. I think we'd all do better just to ignore the troll and not feed his need for attention.

Aha! *snaps fingers* Frequency analysis - that's the ticket. :p

All we need is some chump, er, I mean, someone who's dedicated to the truth, to go and do the legwork. ;)

See, that's why I like you TbC.

You may have views I highly disagree with but, dammit, they're your views.

NS:G needs opposing points of view that aren't just flamebait.

Toss in a bit of TRA (I was away for a bit... was he a puppet?) and you've got global annihilation.

BTW... dunno if a thread theorizing about one poster will be considered trolling.
or a very convincing case for birth control. :p

or homocide...

Have you agree with you on that one.

He's a troll, but he certainly adds some excitement to the place as people flock to those threads.

And in other news, the sky is indeed blue, water is wet, the Pope annouced his deep abiding faith in the Roman Catholic Church, and there is much bear droppings in wooded areas. ;)

FaG has the same positing habits and uses the same topics as MTAE. He even has the same style of ignoring anything he doesn't want to hear. Add in a tendency to make these grand sweeping pronoucements without any evidence to back things up and... well, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

As I previously and thoroughly explained, your exegesis of my various comments is utterly unfounded. When I first joined this forum, I was shocked to discover that a miasma of posters referred to me as "MTAE." Upon further questioning, they revealed that I reminded them of a bygone troll named "MeansToAnEnd." Researching his behavior, I came to the conclusion that we were much alike politically (with a quite salient divergence in matters of faith). Case closed.

Seriously tho. why does it matter? I mean, are you treating F&G any differently than MtaE because of his name? of course not.

Yeah, it's that being united in hate kind of thing.

Well, the only difference I see is that MTAE had a quirkiness to his trolling that F.A.G. does not.

Other than that, there is very little difference between the two.

That's a very fine distinction you have made. I, too, have detected it.

From browsing MTaE's thread, I have noticed that he engaged in posting utterly absurd, yet original and fulminatory, topics. I, on the other hand, post reasonable topics, which, however, are not as showy and which others have posted before me.

Not particuarly, but I've now got him on ignore. His last thread was the straw that broke the camel's back and I realized that NSG was starting to not be fun because of how annoyed I got by reading his posts.

Really. Adjust your troll sensors, they are seriously deficient.

Perhaps, there's a lot of simularities.

Oh well, IRC, Kat confirmed him as MTAE in a thread in Moderation once.

No, I absolutely did not. And the comment, I believe, was that while another mod believed they were one and the same, that wasn't enough to announce them as one and the same.
