[–] chaganated 5y ago ↗ Thanks for bringing this acct to my attn. Bot or based schizo, good reading either way. [–] chaganated 5y ago ↗ After reading more of these, I doubt this is a bot. Also very curious about the 100% suppression of civil comments??? [–] chordalkeyboard 5y ago ↗ Yes, very weird. Some of his comments were a little out there but I couldn’t see anything very wrong with others. Some were a little off topic. [–] ratsmack 5y ago ↗ It kind of appears that the links are marked dead on arrival. Maybe like a shadow ban for bad behavior at some point.

[–] fingerlocks 5y ago ↗ More than once I’ve seen dang threaten to ban the alt accounts of an obnoxious user. Perhaps this the “real” account for an alt troll?
