Tucker Joe

“So, is the troll banished? Did I miss something?

Is the fact ENS is waging war on Elise a tacit admission he was Tucker Joe?

ENS, if that was you.....you are one magnificent bastard as you completely had me fooled. All of the clues would fit you as well, but, bygod, I didn't think you had it in you.”

“Not him.”

“Me thinks ENS has been a bit busy with the poopy diapers to troll at his potential.”

“He hasn't been too busy to wage war on the powers that be, however, NF seems pretty certain.”

“true that.”

“well let's see

I never met nimblefoot
I never met cotton socks
I never met many of the people he claims to have met and the places he claims to have been.

It's not me.”

“It's Phantom Soul........”

“I met Cottonsocks once.
I never met Nimblefoot except maybe in his dreams.....”

“i was guessing Dub”

“It ain't Dub and it ain't Stratusloop.
My apologies to you guys.

Two strikes and a hit............Phantom Soul.”

“the dude's already admitted he's the cabin dude from the other side”

“Maybe I don't want to know about "the cabin dude"................”

“apology accepted....”

“Ok, so TJ says he met the following:

Marko
cottonsocks
chili
creek dancer
ewker
jerbear
greenmonkey
lilmountaingrrl
nimblefoot


I know for a fact he did not meet MarkO, Cottonsox, and Chili at the same place as I met MarkO, cottonsox met MarkO, it never happened at the same time same place.

I suspect that the perp met them at MarkO's WV hike July '05.

To my knowledge, the remainder of that list were all present at traildays, '06.

So, question now is: who was on MarkO's trip and Trail Days.

Phantom Soul
and

Crash Bang

Any others?”

“I hate trolls!

Whose that tramping over my bridge...

clip clop clip clop...

It is I the little billy goat.....”

“I dont troll, chili. but thanks for the vote of confidence

i will be awaiting your handwritten apology in the mail

please send it fed-ex. korean mail can be damn slow”

“You just want a hand written apology? No payment?”

“also, i was not at the last TWO traildays, so i have not met lilmtgrrl or green monkey, and i dont think ive met creekdancer. if i have, i dont remember”

“Let me make sure I understand...


CB, you are saying you NEVER troll, is that correct?”

“his money's no good here”

“LOL....his money might not be good here either!”

“i NEVER troll

I stir the pot under my own well-known handle

one time i torlled sarge as s rge, but thats it. i tried to make it clear that it wasnt sarge, by going way over the top

so, one time.”

“this tucker joe troll is the best troll in ages

he's got all of us at each others throats more than usual. spindlette and dub are throwin down, all kinds of people are making unsubstatiated claims against whole bunches of other people. its pretty wild”

“btw, chili, i leave in three months. better get that letter out now”

“ok...you are off the list of suspects...Phantom Soul seems to be the only logical conclusion.”

“why does it have to be ANYONE here?”

“Because someone here met the above list...someone here was with jerbear at Big South Fork within the past couple years...someone here was at markO hike in WV....

Any more questions?”

“He's an east coaster who hasn't made it west of Big South Fork. Does he know Fridge?

He's also the only person I have on ignore because I just really don't like him at all.”

“He's the ONLY one you have on ignore?”

“hey - here's a thought - maybe he was LIEING!

oooooooo”

“he could just be a regular on the other side, and a lurker here

y'all are really devoting too much time to this”

“If you need a little help in catching a troll, I would be interested in catching another one or two. Its not that expensive, depending on who is requesting, and who it is to be caught. Them korean type trolls are easy to catch, I have caught one, from here already, it just hasn't been timely to release yet. So another thing to consider, is this, troll season is open year round, but they normally post on the same tread.”

“Pretty sad if people care so much who the troll is.

Must be time to stir things up 'round here. Hmmmmmm.”

“hey I can't even remember my Halloween name from year to year (trout killer) or the password for it. Then one year I couldn't remember how to get back to karo!

But I caught on that it was a troll right away. Chili, you really fell for that?”

“This is an awful lot of effort to waste on a damn troll.   The original thread was more than enough waste.”

“Fell for what? I think we all know it is a troll, and in fact, I think this is one of the most magnificent trolls yet. I couldn't care any less how much sch!tt is stirred up, in fact I measure the greatness of a troll by how well they do it. TJ worked this crowd, stayed with it, kept up the banter, made sure he had everyone engaged then exited stage left.

A truly brilliant piece of work IMHO.

My only concern is to figure out who the magnificent bastard is...

...assuming ANY of the information as to people met, places they were, thing discussed have any bearing in fact (hey, can the discussion with Jerbear with things discussed be anything other than somewhat fact based????) The people listed as having been met has some logic to it...MarkO and Cottonsox were both in WV at the same time. Break out MarkO and everyone left on that list was at Trail Days in '06...listing them in that order would have been one hell of a coincidence.

So, yes, this troll is someone from this board. I am fairly certain of that. Assuming ANY of the facts are true..but granted NOT ALL are...then I think the suspect list is pretty short.

I am pretty damn curious...but unlike some others...I damn sure am not p!ss ed off by it. Hell, I think it is pretty damn entertaining.”

YHBT

That's the beginning, middle and end of it.

And that's all the time I'll waste on he/she/it.

”

“Don't step in it.”

“chili,Mozart, big poppa. You too was on the hike at BSF with me, when i met this person .Phantom soul????”

“The troll isn't me and I doubt that it's Phantom Soul. I met him once and he doesn't strike me as someone who'd do that. He's probably who he says.
He says we met in '05, but I don't recall. I was amazed at the junior high reactions to his assertion that people don't hike over here. Because someone has an opinion of you doesn't make it necessarily true. Reacting is a choice.”

“The genius of this troll was the ability to generate details....yet like a ghost he was nowhere,,,lol.”

“Like a dog chasing its tail, TT goes on a troll hunt.”

“chili seems a bit TOO impressed with this troll ;)”

“Maybe he was/is from this side. He knew enough about me to pull up an old Snake Eyes thread...”

“Nimblefoot, maybe Phantom Soul has cracked up since you met him.

That's always a danger when flyin' low.”

“Phantom Soul's writing style is completely different from Tucker Joe's style. Go back and read his old posts. Then again, writing style can be faked too. I've met PS on a couple of trips. I just don't think PS is TJ.

For various reasons, if what TJ says is true about meeting me, we must have met at Trail Days 2007. I am still trying to narrow down who this might be, but my first inkling is that it was one of the very few hammockers I met over in the hammock hangin' area. I don't remember their names for the life of me though.

I sure do love a good mystery and a good hoax!”

“CD, there have been some trips to North Carolina and The Smokies mentioned, actual hiking trips.

He said he met you and Ewker, among others.”

“I solved the problem...I put him on IGNORE...and let it ride.”

“MarkO - YGM”

“I almost wish it was me...cause none of you would see that coming!!! But alas, I haven't met jerbear or Creek Dancer...or nimblefoot.”
