I could understand why people made the Gausslaw = jmf connection at first. KCDem is almost certainly a sock that imitates krazen, if not one that is actually krazen's. Remember, simfan started a sock account of a left-wing personality.

jmfcst has made multiple socks, all of which were blatantly obvious and never varied on his personality. GaussLaw has zero similarity to them.

KCDem is almost certainly a sock that imitates krazen, if not one that is actually krazen's. Remember, simfan started a sock account of a left-wing personality.

Mods have confirmed KCDem's IP address has no matches and looks legitimate. Why is it so hard to believe a new troll registered who isn't a sock of an existing user?

Why would people think Never was barfbag? Because both are R-VA?

I think that's really it. But that accusation is just so weird. Sure, looking back I've made a few bad posts, but it's just hilarious how people make false accusations like that based on weak reasoning. Honestly, I'm surprised that the sock accusation against me made the list. How many people have made it? Two?

You don't post 40 times a day, so you're obviously not barfbag.

Yes, this.
Not sure, but it must be someone. The apparent "claiming to be German while posting from the US" thing is bizarre.

I really can't fathom the thinking behind this.  I mean, I could totally believe that we have a Svensson sock lurking among us right now, but that it would be GaussLaw (or, really, that Gauss is a sock of any sort) seems rather farfetched to me.

Seems pretty similar to excelsus.

GaussLaw is obviously sock, although I have absolutely no idea who he belongs to.

There's no IP match between the two. Seems like solarstorm is (surprisingly) legit.

Please do elaborate as to how it's so obvious.

Huh, ok.  I retract the above insinuation, then!

I really can't fathom the thinking behind this.  I mean, I could totally believe that we have a Svensson sock lurking among us right now, but that it would be GaussLaw (or, really, that Gauss is a sock of any sort) seems rather farfetched to me.

Sources indicate that his account is linked to numerous IP proxies worldwide. In addition to that, his profile lists a disposable junk e-mail service as his e-mail account. Both are suspicious.

Additionally, some details he's posted did not line up - if I remember correctly  - but I'll admit that I'm not exactly sure what they were at this moment.

His posting style seems reminiscent of some of Svensson's socks, which is obviously just based on intuition.


but whatever... live and let post... or something like that...

Ok, yeah, that is in fact suspicious.

I don't really see the Svensson similarity (and this is coming from someone who could tell pretty immediately that BradyNH was Svensson), but I guess I can't rule out the possibility that perhaps there are some subtleties that might be more obvious to folks who have been around longer than I, and thus had more exposure to his earlier incarnations.

Eh, as you said, whatever, live and let post. I'm all in favor of cracking down on disruptive trolls (and keeping things honest in fantasyland for those who care about that) but I don't think GaussLaw falls into those categories.

FTR, I've been thinking that KCDem might be opebo, but that would seem too obvious for sock behavior.

Lol why would be bother? 

And I did think Mr. Pollo could've been opebo... for but a brief moment in time out of wishful thinking.  No one that BRTD mentioned struck me as a sock. 

Now, while the Atlas is so stuck on KCDem... just type in "junk poll" on Google.  It's not an Atlas-specific turn-of-phrase.
