It is unbelievable I know, but there are actually people in this universe who don’t have professional nor personal lives & choose DCUM as their only outlet.

And sadly these people actually feel like Masters when they claim that they can recognize a specific poster’s writing style, etc.

They actually are showing off how smart they (think) that they are when in reality they are the perfect illustration of what not to be.

When ANYone can recognize another person’s writing style, etc. then that is a clear sign that they need to step away from the online screen + get outside and actually do something.

I've also been here for about two decades now, and the frequency of this comment format seems to be increasing. I think it's probably just a handful of chronically-online people, or even just one really obsessed DCUMer. It doesn't bother me, but I don't really see the point of it either. What's the "threat" supposed to be? Someone online enough to notice I'm also online noticed I posted something online? It exposes the exposer just as much, doesn't it? Maybe I just don't understand trolling well enough, since that's not what I do here.

That is an incomplete sentence. A lot of people spend a lot of time here. There have been threads about wanting to quit, cut back or take a break from dcum. You must be among us, as you commented on this thread and seem to be emotionally affected by the idea that folks can recognize writing styles. That skill is borne out of reading a lot, having a good memory and recognizing patterns. I am on dcum a lot. I can recognize posters by words they use, arrangement of their grammar and themes. I have a busy life. Dcum is an escape for me, it likely is for you, too. I bet at least a couple of people will recognize me from this post. That is fine.

Maybe not in those words, but people often say they recognize a poster. I recognize one, but many other people also recognize J3 (?) guy. The guy with the very odd writing style who liked to talk about remote workers having 2 or 3 full-time jobs.

You think you recognize them.

It’s almost pathological the amount of troll threads she makes, but maybe I’m just as pathological for “knowing” her for so long and being able to recognize it 🤦‍♀️

How are we supposed to interpret your comment? Do you want someone to feel caught by your little "gotcha" allegation? Should we celebrate your sleuthing prowess and self-proclaimed intelligence? Personally, I think it makes the person posting it sound unhinged.

Why do people do this?

I’m intrigued; how did you know she was going here to “follow her”? What does she post about? Why do you care enough to follow/track her/call her out? Genuinely curious, no judgment as I am on here way too much.

She posted on the other site about how she trolls this one and another one or two. I checked them out and easily found a few threads that were hers. Then I just started posting here and loved it lol.

I posted already what she posts about. It’s always just so crazy. Idk why I care enough to call her out, maybe just making sure it was actually her lol. I haven’t seen her in a few months, maybe Jeff blocked her or maybe she got a new schtick that I don’t recognize 🤷‍♀️

You sound a little triggered

You sound like a clown who probably says this stupid shit because you have nothing better to contribute to a thread.

Hookay…

Amended: You sound like an unhinged twatwaffle.

I didn't think my way of writing was particularly distinctive, but I am from the UK originally and we do express ourselves slightly differently in writing than in the US, so maybe that was it.

Using whilst, amongst, etc. is common in UK English.

I tend to drop "to be" in some of my passive participles. That's Appalachian grammar and a tell.

No it is not. Those WERE common in UK English usage, but not really since the 1950s
