So I guess you can say he literally was a basement dweller troll.
I think the reason we got duped is because so many of us on this side of the manosphere aren't close to his age. How can guys 35 and under do a reality check on the writings of a 60 year old? His anti-marriage rants fit our model of the world, so we quickly accepted them as a sort of truth and validation of our beliefs.
What I like about the forum is that many guys are meeting each other, so the seed is already planted to prevent this from happening again. At the minimum, I will be looking for a "I met him... he exists" level of verification. Otherwise, I will believe nothing.
We're arriving at the point where if you want to be a prominent member of this community, you must be prepared to shake hands with others.
This is a community of ideas.
It's like how Al Qeada isn't centralized. If he couldn't live up to his own words, that's his business.
Truth is truth, it doesn't matter who is saying it.
An example of this is game-deniers. They talk shit all they want, but the truth is that if you go out and try some of the stuff we talk about here, the results are real.
This is why I don't care if a woman like Girls Says What posts MRA videos. As long as what she says is true, it doesn't matter.
It's like medicine; throughout history, there have been atrocious experiments done, but does that mean the knowledge gained from them shouldn't be used to save peoples lives?
