I second the summons! NormanClature, give us clues to thine identity! P.S. If he doesn’t respond to this persuasive summons, we may actually have to start doing detective work, @forceghostackbar… Curses! Foiled again by the fickle finger of fate!

1. It’s not about an actual poster and doesn’t ‘call out’ anyone. 2. Please don’t try to persuade anyone to shut this down. This is so much fun, and everyone’s having a great time. 1. Seahawk's thread was about guessing DC-Fan's reaction to Infinity Wars. This thread is about guessing Nomenclature's identity. Neither was calling anyone out though both carried subtle undertones of inferred insults. 2. I do NOT want this thread closed, as I don't see anything wrong with it. However, I also didn't want Seahwak's thread closed as I thought it was just as harmless. 3. What I don't get, is why one is taboo whereas one is allowed. I think the key is to sprinkle a generous dose of silliness to mask the underlying ill intent toward one of our new members. Even if that intent is in the same spirit as doxxing someone. But hey, as long as the folks doing it are having a good time, what’s the harm?

What a sad, miserable existence you must lead. I suggest seeing someone about your problems. As you’ll surely respond to this, know that I won’t respond to you any more. I’ll be having too much fun figuring out the end of a delightful and witty story to whose charms you are, as always, oblivious.

Ah, not so fast, dear lad, not so fast… Remember that, right before the solution is revealed, there is always a false solution. Ellery Queen 101, y’know.

Then the reveal of our old pal King Kong Brady is not but misdirection! A red herring, if you will... Most intriguing! The case is not yet closed! Re-Foot the Game!

GIVE THE GAME THE RED HERRING!!!!!45y4!!!!!!!!! But, yes, usually the sleuth has to lull the real culprit into a sense of complacency—and then strikes! Which was, of course, your plan all along, n’est-ce pas?

Therefore it’s ok to start a thread about him, mock him, belittle him, and try to discover his identity? As long as you’re having a good time of it, what’s the harm? I wonder what happens when we apply that same standard to trolls?

damngumby I just remembered YOU are the one who presented the GIFT to the "new member".... it was a sock putter on-er ~~~ which you later said was a JOKE and called US out for not finding YOU funny ! to quote you when you were asked to cite an example of you being funny : "... my "free gift" to the new member that suddenly appeared? " Is it difficult talking out of both sides of your mouth at the same time ?
Besides which ... "Norman" has hardly ever been so much as mentioned after the OP, much less mocked or belittled. It's all about US, the "suspects" ... and the detecting crew.
ok Bat ... Deep Breath. Say the mantra: DO NOT FEED THE TROLL ! Do NOT feed the troll ! Do not .... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh better !

new member . single digit new. pops up with a thread on what is not a "general interest" board. Starts threads immediately about "trolls" and trolling and cites details about member interactions. Old members participate in a community story writing session which is a common activity in these parts. Anyone who can get into the spirit of the thing is encouraged to participate. Current theme : Who is that masked (or in this case) socked man who was so obvious in his socky-ness that he seemed to be begging for "discovery". The story invited him to play. Not my regular board. I come here for the fun threads as I have zero interest in the actual Topic of the Board but I find the fun ... well, funny ! and a refreshing change from the inane posts of the terminally rude and/or stupid elsewhere.
OK... I need three cents change from that nickel ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
