Hey I miss ole Tom! He stirred up a lot of energy here on the forum. I still laugh at the 'lost to a girl' and this topic on a prepper forum. Of course he was a troll, but at least an entertaining one.
I'm strongly opposed to the 2nd amendment

I'm not as computer savvy as I should be, so can anyone clarify the difference between a troll and an asshole?
I'm having a problem seeing the distinction.

They may both behave the same, but a troll stirs up trouble in a calculating manner, whereas an asshole does it because it is just who he is. An asshole may likely be 100% honest about who he is and what he thinks. In fact, it is that unbridled honesty that gets him in trouble most of the time. Trolls are generally completely dishonest about who they are and what they really believe.

Thank you. That clarifies a lot.
A philospher named Aaron James wrote a delightful book called Assholes, and it's required reading in a lot of corporations.
His take (in an oversimplified version) is that there are three requirements to be an asshole:
1) A sense of entitlement.
2) The asshole is, somehow, insulated from punishment and/or the consequences of his/her entitlement.
3) This behavior (from the sense of entitlement) is an ingrained characteristic that doesn't change over time.
I disagree with James in a very small way. I would only add that to qualify as an asshole, there must be a subtle sense of sadism, as a real asshole actually enjoys being an asshole.

Good riddance to the pos. If I want entertainment I'll turn on the "news".
Technically Tom was a "sock puppet" as was Skeeter. To understand what that means, imagine a person with two sock puppets on his hands having a conversation between the two sock puppets. Now go back and read the posts where Tom and Skeeter are the main two participants with that image in mind.
Most likely, Tom, Skeeter, and Tonto were all the same person.

Dr. Henley, this sounds very disturbed to me.
Is this like multiple personality disorder?
Or is this like an adult with an imaginary friend?

No it has nothing to do with mental health, Kevin, it's purposeful deceit.

I know, I was just poking fun at them
Oh, OK

One other question: Do you think toexist was tom and skeeter as well?
If someone bombs a marathon, its terrorism, not bomb violence. If someone poisons a water supply, its terrorism, not poison violence. If someone runs down a crowd of protesters, its terrorism, not car violence.
If we dont get some hammer and knife control soon, im gonna lose it.

I don't think so either.
Sophisticated sock puppets.
That's actually pretty easy to do. I will demonstrate...
