I knew it was his thread also.
He’s harmless of course but starting the same repetitive threads day after day asking rhetorical questions makes no sense.
Again....he’s harmless but yikes!
If you've been around here for a decade or so, you'll remember a guy called Captain major. He always had to have three or four threads on the front page. Of course no content either. Same old story
I remember that guy! Didn’t we eventually determine somehow he passed away?
I think that was the case, but not certain. As I recall, the Capt. would get very confused at the end and forget which forum he was posting in. He obviously was exhibiting the same behavior in current events or some other forum(s). It was pretty sad as I recall. I don't think he did the sock puppet thing like others. Always amusing when the sock puppets talk to each other and all of us know. Pretty pathetic. We have had some very entertaining trolls here who were harmless and didn't clog up the front page. Margie/WCBW was always my peronal favorite. I miss him/her/them/it... Always good for a laugh. I wish we had access to archives. The Descalso post right before the playoffs was a gem... Of course who can forget Troell and his various meltdowns:) So many trolls... now we have the narcissist.....but he is not as entertaining as Margie...
Marrgie was great! A couple times I asked some questions to try to get some of those cryptic messages explained. I was not entirely successful. Joel was annoying. Joel was a little boy in presumably a man’s body. I don’t miss him.
I really like Melville. People who are put off by him don’t get him. I used to find him annoying. Then we “spoke” once or twice and it all snapped into place! He has a certain approach here, and it isn’t one I’d emulate, but he has his fun, he’s harmless, and he has some fascinating takes. Like I said, I like him.

This is only my 4th season.
I notice that many talk about racist sock accounts etc.
I have no knowledge of that but disturbing.
One of our current trolls loved to pick racist scum names. Google Wally Butterworth. Only sick people would choose that as a handle:(
I really, truly, don’t believe that’s Shady. I’d bet anything Wally Butterworth was “Wrestler Guy”/Gary. Mr “Red Sox scout”. Jon Jay “47 bounce dribbler thru the infield” guy. He played along with Shady, but I’m not convinced Shady knew what he was about. I think Shady just appreciated what he thought was sincere backing from “Wally”, not necessarily realizing Wally was a putz, just trolling the board.

Shady was both Wally and Robert M. Shelton. There was a reply to one of these socks and our buddy screwed replying as his old handle Hardmaple. Oopsie.

Ok. I trust you, Mort. That is really disappointing.
Are you saying, then, he was also Wrestler Guy/Gary?

He knew, we kept telling him; and they/him took their/his act to TheCardinalNation forum. Both were suspended/banned eventually.
He never disavowed the racists accounts (that were probably Gary)...he (shady/Marshall) knew what he was doing. He thought it aggravated people, and Gary and Marshall agreed often with each other on Current Affairs....so Marshall gladly buddied up with him.
Don't give him a pass b/c of ignorance....He KNEW.
I give a Pass to Cranny on the matter, b/c he distanced himself once he was told...

If so our pal Shady is complicit and yes, gets no pass. I didn't have a full appreciation of that history.

Mort Gage is full of manure. The only connection I ever had with Wally or Robert M. Shelton was was dialogue on Cards Talk. Period.
Let me be clear, Shady. I never believed you were Gary/Wrestler Guy/Wally/Robert M. Shelton. I know you two spoke in threads, but that's it. He is/was a first-class racist jerk. From what I read here, I never got that sense from you.

Same. People here are a little nuts thinking everyone they don't like must have a sock account any time another poster agrees with them.
