Hey Matt, spill the beans!!!!

“It would be great if you posted what names belong to who”

“It'll never happen, although it would probably help achieve his goal if reducing the garbage.

Would you post as one of your trolls if everybody knew who the troll was?

No, I don't use any other name besides Chief, except Chief! on the "Other" site.”

“ditto Chief I'm "Hog On Ice" or a close variation on it on every forum I post to.

There are only a few people on TT that know my legal name and Matt is not one of them as far as I know - I trust the people that do know to keep the name to themselves - I trust Matt also but ...”

“Don't listen to Ice Tea, Matt, he is that man behind the curtain pretending to be a professor pretending to be a wizard.”

“Me too, I only use one name and all my posts go under that name "Plain Hiker!" This is one TT'er you will never catch using a fake name.”

“Ooops!”

“LMAO - good one pedxing”

“i'm really tom terrific.....


split personalities...”

“I am bacpac.”

“Treebeard, stop trolling as Mapleleaf. You're not fooling anyone.”

“skiracer is the only name I've ever posted with.”

“Trolls and trolling might be reduced if one were forced to include a vaLid e-mail address to one's sign-in name when one registers. I notice that a lot of suspicious names have no details when I look them up. Just a thought.”

“You do have to provide a valid email address, you just don't have to reveal on your profile. Matt sends you your initial password via email when you register.”

“You have found me out. But, you may be getting in over your head here. This 'troll-gate' thing is a conspiracy that is bigger than all of us. Maple may very well be trolling as Bacpac, but it doesn't stop there. You may be surprised to know that Bacpac is also a double agent known as Tom Terrific. Infiltrating the left wing to save America! Then it came to light that Tom Terrific really is just a puppet of the vast aka's of that notorious villain, Violin. Our best cryptograophers then found out that Violin is merely an invention of that evil 'cut & paste' artist known only as Stratdewd (Trail name Rush Limbaugh was advised against by Strat's superiors) to thwart the efforts of the left. Does it stop there? No, my friends. This tale stinks worse than a barrel full of smelts. Startdewd is merely a marionette on this little stage, whose strings are being manipulated by the most cunning mind the left has, Phaedrus. He figured that by making Strat a target, he can use his most strategic weapon, stealth. As attention is diverted from him, his diabolical ways were scandalously uncovered, exposing him as the Gordon, feared by environmentalists everywhere. But wielding a mighty axe was destined not to fool anyone as he was soon discovered to be none other than Bitpusher, who, through his tremendous computer skills, managed to post links that threw the Western world into a confused tizzy. Creating more than one character to throw into the mix, he soon created profiles, and even managed to use state of the art software to post pictures of Tilt, Newgirl, Aero and Roseymonster. He threw a few from the right in the mix and a few centrists to throw off the scent. Now creating Buddha Bear, Corporal Nasty, Ultrapecker, Gojo, Chili and Hyway. This now rounded out the political spectrum from right to left and right down the middle. He also figured that actually creating some trolls that would be concerned about hiking and backpacking may just fit into a sight that is called thebackpacker.com. So, bring on Amy G, Dare, Pennsyhiker, Crazy Mike, Artex, Towndawg, Ewker, Tarabull, Mr. and Mrs. Adventurist, Sir Pete, Twinkle Toes and Pathman. Bit now figured that he has complicated the scenario to the point where all the trolls will create their trolls, further clouding the picture. As you can see from the boards and Phil's picture page, that they are too numerous to mention them all. Which brings me to Phil. How could Bitpusher manipulate all this without being part of the master plan. Well, we hired a master strategist to figure this whole mess out. Call in MARVIN GARDENS!!! Well, Marvin is still trying to convince us that this is all a plot by a race of six breasted women from the Planet PFFFTTTT! But, we all know that we were all created in Matt's eyes!”

“(what treebeard doesn't know is that I created him too)”

“LOL!”

“But I thought that we were all figments of Phil's imagination?”

“We'll just have to ask Marvin, Skully. I'm sure he will have the answer...”

“...I AM BATMAN!
”

“omg, thats to funny tree!”

“I'm me and only me. I have never, ever trolled. I feel the same about it, as I do about prank calling. How MORTIFYING!?!”

“Phil & Bit, your creations are rebelling!”

“

"Where have all the people gone?"

Too deep for me, I'm headed for the pool hall. Hmmmmm! No real people there either, just a bunch of turkeys, but I love to pluck some of them. Maybe I'm not for real either, just a creation of some road player.”

“Well that explains why I drink anchovie juice in my coffee...”

“Meow?”

“I was just having some fun...”

“LMAO Only a very few know my previous name on here :) and they will stay quiet about it if they value their lives ;). You can only find out about it if you go hiking with me!”

“HA!!! QUIET YOU SAY!@!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LIFE MEANS NOTHING TO ME!!!!



Money, on the other hand...”

“Uhoh....I have no money...will you take an iou?”

“As far as I am concerned there are only two people actually posting to this board.

ME

and

Matt.


Matt has created all the rest of you purely for my entertainment. To keep me amused.

Right down to the fake trip reports, fake pictures, assorted pokings, marriages and other relationships.


I assume my Mom is paying him to be my friend . . .with chocolate chip cookies. The way she paid for my "friends" in elementary school.

I still remember when Gilbert wouldn't play army with me after school because my Mom hadn't made cookies.

Mom . . . are you there mom??


Is that you????


Matt????


Hellloooo....”

“Ohhhhh!!!!


Mom --

I knew we'd been calling Dad "Stump" . . .but now I know why!!”

“

Matt has created all the rest of you ...
lee

Wow! Then the trolls are all Matt's fault.”

“I'm back, but I'm not trolling...my trail name IS SuperTroll...I'm not a troll but I play one on TT...LOL”

“Oh suuuure......

How are you feeling these days Mr. SuperTroll?”

“Hey i ran into a guy that called himself "troll" on a trail once...looked like an old miner...are you him?”

“No, that was Bacpac...”

“Oh I saw on the other thread that SuperTroll was out of the country in the service of the American military. I think that definitely makes him NOT a troll.”

“The depth of understanding necessary is completely underwhelming me.”

“I ran over an opossum near Sunrise and the river... It went "Squish!" Very satisfying. I give it two thumbs up!”

“wrong thread Phaedrus”

“no one has claimed to be Jello Fog”

“Thank God for that!”

“Not chili35,,,,,not chili37....


specifically chili36.....

although on the trail, I respond to just "chili"”

“Today I'm chilly.”

“awright, i fess up. i wrote some stories as bindle stiff jim.”

“i wrote poetry (tried to anyway) to expose other trolls as the troll-of-truth.”

“posting in jive as luther.





i think those are the only names i ever posted under other than this one.”
