Ok. Royal Rumble's FINALLY over and the little guy's in bed. Unfortunately, this stupid messaging thing is limiting my response to 420 characters. So I've had to break this up.


The troll I'm referring to I first noticed was posting under the name JDishnell. I was one of the ones that outed him and he almost immediately came back as JComp.

I think he was almost quickly banned but eventually resurfaced as DibbleDee. Lately he seemed to reinvent himself as Garnet Beamer. And after that (I think), he reared his head again as Rattlecock.

While I obviously can't prove it, I believe he first started all the way back at the old GoGamecocks forums as 18istheMan, where he was a known troll. Now, he seems to have come full circle and is posting under that handle in the On3 forums. (He even uses the same icon.)

He briefly posted as that in the now old FGF under the same name. I called him out on it and while he denied it, he quickly disappeared and later reappeared as the aforementioned JDishnell.

One reason I think all these usernames are the same troll is that he always finds a sneaky way to glorify Clemson while taking a passive shot at Carolina. But the biggest "tells" are the following:

1. Shortly after he shows up under whatever username, he starts a TON of threads. He's gotten better recently, because he he would act like he's supposedly neutral on many subjects,

and even goes so far as to start several innocuous OT threads to hide his intent.

But he will always find a way to change his "opinion" when it furthers more bickering and finger-pointing amongst actual Gamecock fans. And if that doesn't work, he'll start some ridiculous political threads to REALLY get the bickering going.

2. His most obvious tell is that while he almost never responds to anyone that calls him out for his trolling and changing usernames like he changes underwear, he usually disappears and resurfaces as the next handle.
