I'm not the only one doing it either, but for some reason you obsess over my call outs. So who really has the obsession here? hmmm the plot thickens.
Yeah, it's really weird, especially since it feels like I've responded to more of his posts in this thread than anyone else. Seriously, I decided to become the "obsessed" one for about a half-hour and went looking through his brief history on this site.
As you are aware, he first accused you of following him "from thread to thread" early yesterday:
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...ostcount=11720. I didn't even think much about it at the time, but I've since learned you two haven't cross paths much, and I never see any other instances when you reply to any of his posts in a demeaning manner.
KossuKukkula poked some fun at his obvious jokey claims of turning down an appearance on High Stakes Poker and his former involvement with Mi6.

gobbledygeek described him as "trolling" a Bart Hanson thread:

Oddly, I didn't find his activity in that Bart Hanson thread to be out of the ordinary, which makes me wonder if gobble used a different meaning of the verb "trolling" (like wandering around). Coincidentally, that Bart Hanson thread is one of the few other places where you both have posted, but again, you never respond to any of his posts:
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/1...anson-1778067/.
Two of his other oft-visited threads are the Phil Nagy-Jonathan Little dispute and the Big Brother 22 discussion, and I don't see anyone responding negatively to anything there.
Meanwhile, no one commented at some opportunities in which they
could have: he mentions how muscular he is (looking for advice on some shirts), that he packs heat and brags about being a great shot (oddly, this was in a low-stakes NL strategy forum). Not even responses to asking if Brad Booth was abducted by aliens.
I'm a little intrigued that he said English isn't his first language, and yet at other occasions he claims to be from Cleveland, uses a baseball metaphor in another post and even says "y'all." Sure, it's possible to be an American but claim a different first language, but it's quite rare.
Troll? Nah, I don't think so. A good number of his posts appear to be serious and genuine, regardless of whether or not we agree with him. Then there are strange posts, like the ones referenced above, or the time when he accused another poster of making fun of autism (despite no apparent cause for this concern). Maybe we're catching him at different times in his medication schedule, and your timing just happened to be unfortunate.
EDIT: TIL you can't ignore a mod. I never ignore anyone, but still a fun new fact for me.
