Taking the effort to only refer to thekid as TheKid345 as though any normal poster would think it matters.
Being a new account that knows suspiciously large amounts about thekid's history.
Coming from nowhere into a discussion about thekid to argue with him (kid likes to do this with his alter egos)
There's an outside chance of Flounce being legit, but it's pretty small.
All valid points, although I will admit, i've been saying "TheKid345" cause I get kind of a kick out of people thinking i'm him. Although, as I stated, I think he was a bad person and a sh***y human being. ... Maybe I should stop doing that I guess.
I know large amounts about the kid, and others, because i've lurked for years. Some threads I avoid because of the AIDS, some I read daily. And sometimes I read threads filled with AIDS. Depends on my mood, patience, time I have to read, things like that I suppose. You guys should be greeting long time lurkers like myself with open arms, fresh blood is a good thing and can provide some new perspectives on how other lurkers may view things / procedures around here, and what may be turning away or attracting new visitors to 2+2. Though of course, politics chained and unchained are not your main draws.
Coming from no where to argue with the kid, well keep in mind i've been lurking for a while, so I knew his "work" well, and he was my motivation to sign up for an account for so long when I saw a thread in which Chez was coming down on JJ, when it should have been about the kid and why JJ was completely justified in treating him with contempt. That thread needed a voice to summarize who the kid was, what he believed, and why we should all put aside our differences to say in one voice- this guy does not belong here. If I were the kid, would i really work so hard to get "myself" perma'd?
I'll take that small %, I don't run very well- but you're about to get binked on the river.

the kid always struck me as someone whose second language was English, the way he "spoke" was almost robotic, without feel or emotion. It was empty rhetoric, like he didn't believe his own words.
