Wanda4DecentValues is pretty clearly a poe. www.fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=64314Copy of my comment: I suspected Poe, not because no one actually does this (I in fact went to a youth group propaganda meeting where we watched a video about the eeeevils of rock music when I was a kid), but because of the stereotypical-to-the-point-of-memetic use of the plural in "The Pearl Jams", calling it "immoral heavy metal music", the username being a bit over the top, and the fact that it's on a Pearl Jam video on YouTube, indicating that these mistakes being sincere is unlikely. Some YouTube sleuthing more heavily indicates poedom. One comment by Wanda4DecentValues on another video is "Mr. Britney is just a jaelous babby because my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and damn right its better than hers, and although? I can teech her, unfortuntaely I have to charge." www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2OHNAYXXIkYouTube profile here: www.youtube.com/user/Wanda4DecentValuesListed hobbies include "roundhouse kicking liberals in the face" |

Well it also has the one true dead sure give-away mark that I have become convinced is the professional mark of a POE, one that exists in hundreds of quotes here and instantly identifies it as a POE.
That would be the seemingly random question mark in the first couple of sentences, honestly, look at your keyboard, can you make a question mark as a typo? What...you were trying to type in a random slash "/" and accidently held down the shift key?
Personally I have come to believe that this is an "insiders" mark of the POE posts that certain people make, if you look at the archives and review the posts with this seemingly random mark I believe that you will find it an indicator as well.
Really all I need to see now to condemn a post as being made by a POE who is laughing at our publishing their non-sense is that one random question mark. If you look into it at all I would think that you will find yourself agreeing with me.

I'm with Ausador on this one. It's a hell of a pattern, and it appears to ring true.

I believe the question mark replaces characters a certain website can't process correctly, actually. I've seen it in (as far as I know) legit quotes.

I've seen it on another board I frequent - lots of punctuation characters in posts from before the server change show up as question marks. The idea that it's a secret mark to indicate that you're being sardonic is rather outlandish. |

Oddly I think I ran into this troll years ago on the yahoo boards, That said, I've killed the quote.

I think she's a poe because of her profile, as well. Her misspellings are too random. She misspells easy words, but gets "harder" words correct. Like I mentioned on the mainpage, she even spells "atheist" correctly.

Marc I'm gonna have to argue this one, having batted back and forth with Metacrock over on the CARM boards a few times there are legitimate disabilities which can cause some very odd combinations of spelling. The guy gets obscure philisophical and theologic words right, then screws up beaten. But yea, troll and a half, just arguing that justification. |

Well as far as spelling small words wrong, I can't spell the word squirrel if my life depended on it. Yes I used a spellchecker.
I don't know why, I've tried writing it out 100 times, I've obviously used it in sentences, it's just one of those words.

She just seems too over the top to me to be real. I'm just re-reading her profile, and it's almost like she is exactly the stereotypical fundie. She's racist, bigoted, hates scientists, Muslims, etc. Unfortunately, she only links to other people's videos, so we can't see what she might actually believe, and the few comments she makes in her comments sections are all one liners, designed solely to upset people. She also links to another user (Debbie4Morels) www.youtube.com/user/Debbie4Morels who claims to believe the same things, but has a video of Michael Jackson's "Bad" on it, with no negative comments. Debbie's further comments (on Wanda's page) include "Any single ladies here? I mean mens," with no retaliation from Wanda. I'm definitely thinking Poe. Or at least Troll. Marc |
