Who is That Masked Man?

It seems that the same high-quality comments that get made here by anonymous posters are now being made on UESP. The Great Deceiver's talk page got this today, pretty obviously from the same guy who trolled the same page a month ago. Being an expert on sock-puppetry, TGD quickly spotted the subtle ploy, which provoked a response even more obviously false than TGD pretending he's not Calliope.

In fairly short order, the anon got a warning from SerCenKing, which provoked a shocked response. The LGA stepped in with a "final warning", which led to a terse reply. Then serial depressive HMS Victory Itachi stepped in with a typically helpful comment and the anon came back with a series of replies that I can't be bothered to link because they're utterly tedious - except for this classic bit of self-justification from TGD. Eventually, LGA gets fed up and gives the inevitable block.

There are two questions: just who is this anon (and no, it's not me - I can spell for a start)? He claims to be a patroller but that's pretty obvious rubbish. The IP resolves to BT - an ISP that serves about half of the UK so there's not much help there. Question two: this is obviously not over yet since the anon will get a new IP before long. Will there be an episode three?

  1. Why are you requesting the anon's identity when you won't even tell us your own identity?

  2. No - I'm speculating. The "Who" in this case is a rhetorical question, and if you don't recognise the quotation in the title you're even more of a cretin than I thought you were.

    Daedryon is also an Encyclopedia Dramatica contributor.

    Daedryon, Tiber hates ED greatly, so you may have trouble becoming friends with him.

  5. Hahaha, look at the wiki trolls pathetically trying to hurt people's feelings.

    So cute. Really.

    Dagoth, you deserve your ban. This is exactly why I created an article on you: you're a lolcow.

    Dagoth, Daedryon, did both of you actually believe that "Tiber Septim" would befriend either of you? You're both fools if that's true.

    You're better off trolling this blog than supporting it. Tiber doesn't know how to make friends.

  7. Well this is essentially just an extension of ED onto the UESP, so trolling is the name of the game.
