Curious about a certain poster on here

[sajetto]

I'm very surprised that this thread has made it this far too. I just skip over the threads like the OP questions and move on. Its much easier that way, but I do understand where she is coming from.

He's an enigma.

He posts strange things like "Perla is my mommy" (or whatever), then gets irate when people comment. Just a thought, but I always thought he purposely posts stuff like that to "get things rolling" on the CB.

I've also seen posts he's created on other discussion boards that are written in a completely adult manner.

So, it's anyone's guess.

You are absolutely right about this. He has posted on other boards writing with words that I barely understand!
But then the next post on here is that "I want my Mommy Perla to help my Sore throat".
I find the entire thing rather disturbing.

Well..I am going to ask a mod to close this now. All I can say is that I bet 95% of the people familiar with this person has wondered the SAME thing but just never had the guts to write it down!!

Please do. Sharing your thoughts about someone having a mental problem or not with an entire community is just plain ridiculous!!

I think you're right, because I've wondered too and never asked. I do stay away from his threads because I don't quite understand him.

I understood your orginal question....not sure why people got upset with you.

Personally, I have often wondered if we aren't being "played" by this poster, so I just stay away.

So why did YOU reply?? Doesn't that put you in the same category!!!!! LOL!!

You call it "guts", it could also be called "lack of tact".

I'm also kind of suprised this is still open. I reported it a while ago. I'm hoping th mods just were busy/didn't see it. I'd be kind of concerned if they actually thought this was OK.

I'm certain you know the answer to that question.

But what i dont get is just why does it matter.

I agree. And what I also don't get is why the powers that be here allow a topic discussing a DISer to continue, particularly when it's in reference to mental status. I thought we learned a long time ago that this sort of thing was not appropriate on the DIS.

Sorry, but this post is childish- reminds me of jr high. Does this realy affect your life??

I am NOT trying to be mean at all but I really have been wondering about a certain poster on here and his "mental" ability. I would PM someone but I don't know who to pm about him. I have researched past posts and I know he goes to WDW quite a bit has a "job" of some kind and I know he seems to be a grown man according to the pictures I have seen but after reading many many posts I have always wondered if it was all a joke or if there is a problem there. I have come close to posting joke remarks but then again I am not sure it IS a joke. You might ask what does it matter? Well...because I don't want to post a reply that would be in bad taste if this poster has a mental problem. Now...How do I tell you the posters name withOUT telling you the posters name??? Ummmmmm...think Pepe le Pew in a Disney sort of way. I hope I am not offending anyone. I really do not have that intention at all. I just was hoping for some answers so I will know how to "properly" reply to their posts.

I have placed two different requests to have it removed.

Yes it does.. If I replied to one of his posts in a not as nice as it should be fashion and I found out there were mental problems then I would be upset with myself or anyone else that had also been mean.

Honestly, I don't know why posters who didn't like the OP question even bothered to answer it. If it was just ignored it would have disappearred off the 1st page at least. I think everyone is guilty of .

Yes, this thread is so much nicer than had you answered one of his posts in a "not to nice fashion" I'm glad you took his feelings into consideration

Then be nice.

 

[mum4jenn]

Y'all get a life now...If you did NOT like the content of the original post then you should take your own advice and ignore it. Heck.. put me on YOUR ignore list. I really do not care. If you all are so much Holier than though then you would not have replied in the first place.

I disagree. OP posted something rather distasteful about someone on this board. It needed to be addressed.

 

[DisneyPhD]

My personal theory is that he is going for a doctorate degree in Psychology and doing his thesis on how gullable bulletin board communities are. As someone else here noted, when I see a post of his, I just move along now.

This makes more sense then anything else I have heard.

I do think he is out for attention. He seems to get it too. I do belive that it is better to error on the side of being polite and kind so it is best just to move on. It isn't like I have to deal with him IRL.

 

[N.Bailey]

Initially, I thought these posts were a joke too, but I was able to ignore them. Since that time however, I'm just not so sure anymore. Perhaps we are guinea pigs for his research project and if we are, I'll gladly become part of the gullible crowd. I see no reason to be rude (not saying anyone else is, but a few have been in the past) and I think it's just easier to not click on the links started by this poster.

One thing though, we're all different. It would be a boring world if we were the same. I do hope it's not a medical condition though. That would be very sad.

Good answer.

Throwing out the rope to the OP.

I think her question was legit. Sorry if it wasn't worded properly for everyone's tastes, but it is a legitimate question.

There are some of us who really question the whole thing. Not in a vicious way, but let's be real, who wants to be played?

Before the internet, whoever heard of trolls? That's a term that came along with the technology. So who's to say there isn't a NEW kind of internet troll in the making? Someone who can play people on message boards, and then, carry it a step further, and meet them personally and continue the charade?

I am NOT saying that's the case here - but it's food for thought. We're all running around warning our kids about the dangers of the internet, but sometimes, we need to remind ourselves that we're vulnerable too.

Hope this gets posted before the thread locks.
