But not doing a bad imitation of an angry English truck driver.
Oh, yeah, speaking of old friends!
Wonder what he's up to these days?
{edit to add}
Right click to get image information. He left big enough footprints on the internet several years ago, I don't feel any need to put to use his username in googlebot-searchable space.
For newer users: This guy was a member of the old forum about 6 or 8 years ago (THAT long? cripes!) with a pattern of increasing irritability until banned. Then he came back several times in various "character actor" roles, such as the English ex-pat scuba instructor living somewhere in the South Pacific. He demonstrated very typical addictive/obsessive behavior characteristics. He would wander in after an absence, seem to be having fun, and then gradually become more and more obnoxious until banned. (attraction/revulsion cycle)
I burned a username here and left to pursue him about cyberspace for about 6 months. I found pictures of his car keys, his car, his work truck, his 3rd and 4th grade school class pictures, the view of his cul-de-sac from his upstairs bedroom, usernames on several other fora and his ebay and photobucket pages. I made a spreadsheet to track the posting times on the various fora (correcting for time zones) and was able to track when he was on the road and when he came home from a long run. Sometimes he would come here when he was home, and would spend unbelievable amounts of continuous time posting, becoming increasingly belligerent until banned.
We refer to him as "the Angry English Truck Driver" because it's accurate. His posts here and elsewhere displayed racism, sexism, and generally obnoxious behavior. He was banned from "419 Eater," a forum for people who bait and hassle Nigerian scammers. He was also a moderator at a trucking forum but got banned, as a mod.
We use the term "Angry English Truck Driver" to refer his suspected puppets, and more broadly to posters who resemble him -- exceptionally belligerent, increasingly rude and obviously "character actor" sock puppets of previously banned members.
I went through the old forum's username list once and came up with a very long list of his probable puppets -- usernames registered within a window of time with zero or 1 posts, many partially matching previously used names here or elsewhere. Some of them came into play later and were banned.
Unlike P1K the AETD limited himself to a narrow palette of name styles.
I got him to post me this "419 style" pic:
The sign says "I am not Bart Sibrel."
