    How do you know that this AC who claims to be aristarchus is actually aristarchus?

    I find this spam mod troubling

    Here is a crazy idea... I am just spitballing here.

    But if you don't wish to be spam modded for signing your posts as Aristarchus... Then perhaps you shouldn't sign your posts as Aristarchus?

    You fail at 3-d printing chess. Obviously the AC is not the real aristarchus, but only signing as aristarchus to confirm the "narrative" of the rouge aristarchus that doxxed the Runaway1956, by revealing that Runaway was actually FYN, 1-13. But by pretending to be aristarchus, he gets a spam mod thrown on a particular IP portal, from a specific VPN or TOR exit point, in order to sensor the Soylentils using this same point. Clever, too clever by half, since we all know that the AC doing this must be, . . . wait for it! janrinok himself! Yes, the plot is revealed, and now we know all about the SoylentNews basement under the pizzeria, in Talinn, and the adrenochrome. If only we had the real aristarchus back, then things like this would not happen.

      Of course that crafty AC always knows which VPN and TOR exit nodes the others are using. And selecting a different VPN or TOR exit node will not thwart the the AC... who obviously has psychic powers.

      Only those of similar cognitive ineptitude would fail to notice the glaring holes in your tale fabricated with Dunning-Kruger incompetence.

      Interesting what people think (I use the term loosely) is clever.

        They know your IP hash. They know your preferred female body type. They know where you work. They know where you come from. They know who you voted for, in the last precedential election. If I were you, khallow, I would tread more gingerly. Especially if you do not get humor.
