My avatar? See, you're still implying that I lied. Pretty trashy.
And don't pretend for a second that someone who has tried to dox you in the past and seems to be hung up on you wouldn't creep you out too. Any woman would call what you do cyber stalking (which often includes false accusations).
Is that you?
There's no need for your usual rhetoric.
A simple yes or no will do.
If you think I'm stalking you, you should just ignore me. Problem solved.

A simple yes or no will do. Not playing your games. You can stew in your own bullshit.

Is that really what you'd tell any woman being stalked?
So how many years until you quit? If I come back after ten years, will I still find you dropping my name?
Have I really and quite unintentionally wormed my way that deep into your psyche?
There should really be a pill for that.

That's odd because people say shit about MR all the time and he doesn't have that delusion. I don’t want to rain on your parade but I’m beginning to think that you’re someone, who believes that they’re more highly regarded than they actually are.
Lord knows you don’t have any self-restraint because you always have to have the last word. You’re in luck though because I do.
Problem solved.

People bring up MR, in threads completely unrelated to him or his usual interests? Any one person do so with any regularity, even after months of not interacting with him at all?
Obsession doesn't imply high regard. Hatred breeds obsession too. Odd that you would presume the former.

Contrary to the fact that I've proven otherwise, countless times.
We'll see how long your supposed self-restraint lasts. See you again, months from now, when you can't help but scratch that itch again.

I have never used most of the trendier "social media". I don't have a Facebook account and have only looked at Facebook two or three times. I've never looked at Tik-tok and when I saw that it was pre-installed as bloatware on my Galaxy smartphone, I immediately deleted it. I don't have a Twitter account although there are some people on Twitter whose posts I regularly look at. I don't typically read the comments below their posts though, since the comments are typically stupid and are often "memes" (whatever those are).
So whatever malevolent forces out there are trying to use these channels to control what I think and believe aren't likely to have very much effect.
I think that the regular TV, movies, newspapers, magazines and educational institutions are far more subversive and dangerous engines of mind-control than any number of perhaps imaginary twitter-bots. That's why I try to be as off-the-grid as possible as far as mind-control goes.
I think that the reason why we hear so much about "bots and sock puppets" is because they aren't controlled by the same establishment elites that control the rest of the media. They are outsiders trying to wiggle in, and I kind of like that idea. I still damnably believe in free speech and in diversity of opinion, as much as everyone wants to silence it these days. So I kind of welcome the idea of unwelcome opinions intruding from outside the bubble.

I believe in free speech, too, but I’m not so sure that bots have a right to free speech. Weighing in with your opinion is one thing but I don’t think it’s right to add to the weight by impersonating another, do you?
Anyhow, it’s illegal here, Yazata.
California's new law requires disclosure of use of bots
The B.O.T. (Bolstering Online Transparency) Act passed.
