He did have over 5,000 posts. Some of them were quite long too.
Derek had roughly that many, too. He last logged in shortly after barfbag was banned.
RIP
That actually makes sense that Barfbag was Derek's sock, as both were born in '85 and lived in Pennsylvania.
Honestly he was never very careful in shielding his identity. See signature, for one. "Barfbag" also did the exact same Spam Political Debate thing that "Tidewater_Wave" did, with some of the same talking points. Read some of his Government Reform proposals and weep:
Constitutional Amendment requiring a balanced budget every year.
Two six year terms for U.S. Senators.
Six two year terms for U.S. Representatives.
Cut president's salary to $250,000.
6. U.S. House members limited to six two-year terms but can run again twelve years later.
7. U.S. Senate members limited to two six-year terms but can run again twelve years later.
…
3. President’s salary cut from $400,000 to $250,000.
4. Constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget at the end of each year.
The Tidewater_Wave post is amusingly enough an occasional word-for-word copy of
his post about two years before, titled literally the same thing. I'm sure "fartboy" wouldn't have been able to resist the allure of the Political Debate board either if he had had more time.
