The Truth About One Brow and His Connection to Aint Nuthin

You know, for most people, that would have sounded an awful lot like sarcasm. But for someone who has obviously (unutterably obviously) adopted a false, obnoxious persona for the purposes of posting on this message board, the sarcasm doesn't quite work.
 
Write,

I admit I got lost reading your initial thesis, but please confirm my initial takeaway which was that One Brow/Ain't/Philosophy Professor/from Illinois basically posted 30 pages of a conversation between himself?
 
Let me make sure I've got my history right. Didn't write4u accuse Saltydog of altering a post of his once upon a time, then when asked for proof he claimed that there was a multi-poster effort to cover it up?

write4u, this is a message board. There is nothing at stake here other than your emotional reaction to what other people are saying. Even if you are correct you will not really gain anything other than a sense of smug satisfaction.

Good luck on your quest.

The premise being that in order for two people to engage in such behavior, they must be very good friends. And very good friends never (or at least very rarely) exist on message boards.

I submit an alternate theory, entitled "Pompous Stubborn Windbags Engaged in Pissing Contest"

Wait...didn't sirkickyass ALSO participate in a 20+ page conversation with Aint??? Oh. My...

It's basically an attack of my defense of AK, AK hatred turned against me.

Nobody attacks you because you defend AK.

They attack you because you are self-righteous and condescending.

I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you this.
 
It's interesting how the backlash from his "you guys suck at being reporters" snarky remark turned into "the AK haters attack me because I defend AK". Poor write4u is a victim. Perhaps he should make a thread about being a victim. Just like someone else. Wait...holy ****.

How long have you had two rep dots? They look like two shiny green balls hanging proudly beneath your name. Congrats, YB/One Brow/Aint/Tater/Moe/Colton/Boozer
 
This was intense. In all my 3 years of attending this message board this is, easily, the most incredible thread I've ever seen.
 
I started handing out reputations while reading this, and quickly realized I would be here all damn day, so I had to stop.

I became suspicious and began to notice that they never were on the board simultaneously, though their posts followed each other closely. I then looked at their bios and noticed they were both from southern Illinois, which made their "Jerry love" more understandable.

Long-time posters may recall that when I first joined the board, back in the late 1990s, I lived in Ohio. I moved to Illinois in 2005. Journalism professors will find this difficult to uncover, apparently.

Through some Google searching, along with some pieces of information from boardmembers about One Brow's website, I actually discovered One Brow's identity, even found out where he taught school.

So you say. I am beginning to have doubts about that.

write4u said:
I also learned when I went to his website, which deals in Philosophy and philosophical discourse -- of course, One Brow is a Philosophy teacher -- that Aint Nuthin was posting blogs on philosophical matters on the site.

You are partially correct that I tend tolook at the philosophical aspects of things on my blog. However, my blog is primarily about skepticism and being a skeptic, as well as other things, not about philosophy.

You are incorrect about me being a philosophy teacher, and aintnuthin has never posted on my blog (he has left comments from time to time).

I presume this is an example of the journalistic accuracy that you described to me?

... so one day I up and telephoned One Brow at his school office (he had no idea I was searching for him or that I had found him and I can't recall now if I reached him there or they gave me his home number). In any case, we had a conversation and I told him what I had learned and that I was going to continue to investigate him using whatever means I could unless he and his other personalities stopped attacking me on the site. We came to a pact and the war ended. However, he insisted that he wasn't Aint or the other poster.

My recollection is that you claimed to have my home phone and said you were going to call, but you didn't call, and I don't recall talking to you. Could just be my memory.

How would you get my school to give you my home phone number (if that were true, again, I doubt it)? Employers can open themselves up to major hassles by handing out phone numbers that way. Every place I've worked at, part of the basic security protocol is that you don't hand out personal information over the phone.

My real name is connected to my handle on the internet, for anyone who appens to be in the right place. I consider it to be public knowledge, and I am not concerned about it.

One of my favortie parts about not being a moderator is that I can now treat your theory with all the ridicule it so richly deserves.

By the way, I am not YB85. I just want to make that clear.
 
A little bit of research, here: I've taken a screenshot (the first of many) of the "who's online" feature at the bottom of the site to determine duplicate accounts by systematically eliminating possibilities based on simultaneous logins.

Take note. Jazz Traveler is not Duck Rodgers, Marty McFly is not wangchung, etc.

This might take awhile, but it will be well worth it.
 
I got it! Lets just challenge One Brow and Hopper to be logged on at the exact same time! Bordey can provide the expert analysis.

However, it is possible that he called a philosphy teacher somewhere in Illinois at work and then accused him of being both One Brow and aintnuthin.

That guy denied it, but not very adamantly. In fact, I heard he sounded on the verge of admitting it!

What amazing luck that even though he didn't call you, he called someone that he mistook for you and happened to get exactly the right mental illness patient to deny the connection.

Now THAT is the definition of great journalism.

Take it even further: SJK69 is NOT bordelais7. I had always wondered if NUMBERICA and U Gotta Luv It Baby were the same person. Guess not.
