  • I don't know who's the biggest tool, foxy and his ludicrous multiple personality disorder, or you for dragging up all these old threads. I wish you would both just eff off.

    Agreed.
    No more need to drag up old threads. It's crystal clear to all now that homelessskilledworker is running at least half a dozen sockie accounts.

    The best bit about it all is all his accounts have different stories.

    One is skint
    One has 70k in the bank ready to buy once house prices crash
    One is a "blessed home owner"

    Talk about mental.

    Been away for a few days - surprised to see this one - it was on my subscription list. Disappointed that the Fox wasn't making a comeback.

    It's funny how you visualise people. I have a completely different mental picture of The_Fox to HSW even though they are obviously the same person.

    Maybe next time someone's considering research on the 'ticking timebomb of IO mortgages' they could instead look at the how sockies perceive themselves and are perceived by others. Some, like Aberdeenangarse, seem to have almost grown into a real user - I can tell their handler has developed an affection for the character they've developed.

    Maybe I'm overthinking it.

    Maybe there is only 5 users in there and many sockies.

    With that I don't think I could make up a believable character, people don't believe the events of my actual life half the time.

    It's cos of your wild, hedonistic, out-there antics Percy.

    I mean, here we are in the middle of a horrible double dip recession and we're supposed to believe you just coughed up £93k on a house? Crazy talk. ;)

    I'm also interested in the psychology of it all.

    Human beings seem to be obsessed with proving themselves right, despite obvious flaws (think religion).

    Surely when you have to go to the lengths of creating multiple user accounts to agree with your opinions, and even creating a thankbot, you've obviously lost the argument?

    I would have like to have seen rewired's handlers face when he got binned. I just hope MSE didn't PPR him without taking proper medical advice - the consequences on a fragile mind could have been devastating.

    Graham seems to have taken it well.

    Well I'm one, and I don't have sockies. Who are the other 4?
