Multiple Identity Trolls????

[gorvid]

Do people on here have multiple log-ins so they can be outrageous / dumb / controversial using 'different personas' ?

Remember this troll like effort a few days ago...?
The chap fourth post in: eldudereno

Now he just appeared...got everyone flared up, and then buggered off!!

Now..look at this one from earlier

Well blow me down its the same jump in and run tactic....
This time done by The Dude


But...
Look in the Dude's profile...

The Dude's profile notes said:

I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. That, or Duder. His Dudeness. Or El Duderino, if, you know, you're not into the whole brevity thing...

Surely this is the same person...?
Or a big coincidence...?
Why not just keep one persona and say what you think / be honest...?
Does anyone else do this ...?

someone spotted yesterday that it may be the same person but he denied it....i thought it was too much of a coincidence

[gorvid]

Where was that Nick?

in the 'blockbusters i want my money back' thread

[bluespanner]

there is a difference in spelling, elduderino or eldudereno
i think The Dude would spell it right, ie 'ino'

[The Dude]

Oh FFS.

Its not me. I've just been accused on that thread of also being a "troll par excellence".

I've been a member for years. I used to go by a different name - its not that difficult to suss out if you bother reading profiles. I changed it. Eldudereno is NOT me.

Get your facts right next time.

Now, can we grow the up.

I reckon the PH mods spend half their time chasing away trolls. As I understand it, they know which computer they log in under, so unless they have an unlimited supply of PC's there comes a limit to the number of times they can play that game. There again, I might be wrong!

Or failing that, if you renew the DHCP lease from the ISP on ADSL by logging out and logging in again -however it is possible to trace back it came from the same supplier

However, tell you what, if that above information foes not entertain you, I will give you your money back

Some are easy to spot like "Dude" and "Moab," but it comes as a surprise to learn a few long-term PHers have taken to cloak and dagger antics as compensation for losing debates elsewhere, or whatever makes them want to waste everyone's time.

Holy shit, LA.

Not only do accuse me of trolling, you now say my name change was "compensation for losing debates".

I changed the name about a week ago because I wanted something a little more inconspicuous. The Big Lebowski is my favourite film so I took the name from there.

There's nothing more sinister to it than that.

However, from my own point of view, I've seen a side to PH that leaves a bitter taste. So what, maybe my DVD rental post was a bit, I dunno, left-field. Whatever. But the barage of insults I've received is just pathetic. Someone even referenced the thread on another thread and called me a "cupid stunt". Nice.

Do you actual read any of the posts or scan the first couple of words and saddle up the high horse?

How am i supposed to react to being accused of being a "troll" and changing my name to trick people?
