this all could be crap and i'm getting paranoid . |
Your not paranoid they are called Trolls. Some call them forum nomads. They sometimes just drop in to cause trouble and then leave.
There is also a creature we have here that is called an AE Ghost. Members who have been banned and then show up with a different screen name. They will sometimes show up just to be a pain in the butt.
Trolling is something a lot of people do, it does not have to be disruptive or destructive to the discussion. I sometimes troll other forums looking for interesting threads and join in if I have something to add.
The only time I do anything antisocial is on an extremist or racist site.
They do it to us, so why not return the favor. I think the most recent example was Dark lord.
