True.
Trig was/is a genuine member of teh forum who was, as it goes, trying (as best he knew) to wind people up as as troll - some of the time.
I don't believe Trigg ever 100% got a grip on what trolling should be like, which is why he proved so irritating to so many. I've found the newspaper reports as funny as anybody, but I also hope he finds some contentment. Doesn't seem likely, but you never know.

Who was that other madcap chap from somewhere on the east coast, Hornsea was it? Posted here for a while and had a trolling like ambiance.

Was that the weather , earthquake, and volcano chap? All controlled by satellites. I know Weatherlawyer was into that stuff too, but there was definitely another one.
53NORTH? Ah yes, he was into all sorts of alternative science and conspiracy stuff, not just 2012 end-of-the-world. Posted here as recently as March.

I mean, there have been a few over the years. I was going to mention Katsung, but he wasn't exactly your typical troll; more a seriously ill individual who posted on any public forum that hadn't banned him. He never interacted with anybody and I don't think he was out to wind people up. I have a feeling I read a long post about him years ago, before he showed up here. He was supposed to be quite a decent software developer when he took his pills (much in the Terry Davis Temple OS manner) but never did.
Some of the Castle peeps posted their inarticulate ramblings IIRC, but I expect they're mainly dead of heroin ODs, motorbike accidents and gang-fights by now.

That was the thing: for all of the trolling, there was an undercurrent of desperately seeking acceptance, and some of the stuff that he revealed about himself and his family life in the process was quite disturbing, but very sad.

53North - that's the man.
I'd be interested to see if the date for the end of the world has shifted from 2012. We need to be made aware of these things, it sounds important.

I presume we're referring to the Mayan end of the world trope for 2012 (
debunked, wonder of wonders
)
I bet typos crept into the stone carving process, but I don't think there's a ctrl + z shortcut on a chisel, so they'd have left it in and hoped for the best.

I dunno what we're referring to - you're the one who brought it up.
If I was carving stone, I'd trace it out first, then carve it absolutely flawlessly.
