Troller ID = Robert Campbell = Above the Mire

I'm surprised you folks haven't picked this up before now. It's a classic case of dissociative identity disorder, more commonly known as multiple personality disorder, or just MPD. Above the Mire is RC's raison d'etre. The more RC is attacked, the more heroic he appears. When conflict on the message board waned, a new antagonist had to be invented. Hence Above the Mire. Think about it. Good material for a professional paper, possibly even a Hollywood movie.

As I said, this is a textbook case of Dissociative Identity Disorder as defined in the APA's DSM IV-TR. Note to all of the above "alters"--This is not a condition that can be ignored or taken lightly. Please seek professional help. Therapy is readily available.

Sorry, I'm not Robert Campbell's Risk Manager... and I'm obviously not Above the Mire.

Everyone clear on that?

Troller ID's Shrink, on the other hand, seems to know Above the Mire really well.

Now that Above the Mire's efforts to go after Shelby Thames' critics with "much venom" have failed so miserably, and his other inventions have fooled hardly anyone, he's reduced to pretending that I made him up.

Time to give it up, Troller ID's Shrink.

You're not a shrink and you're not fooling anyone.

Indeed not, though boring quite a few.

You are correct, Sir. This entire thread is both sophomoric and boring. I herewith "give it up."

Dear Above the Mire,

Whatever your purpose has been in posting on this board, you have had ample opportunity to achieve it. You have yet to offer any idea or suggestion of substance whatsoever.

I would like to ask you now to go away and leave us alone.

I would like to ask my fellow posters once again to cease responding to this person, who obviously has no purpose but to create dissension and confusion.

Date: Jul 20, 2005

I am offended, hurt and offended actually.

This thread has been going on for a week now and not one person has accused me of being anyone, not even myself.

Date: Jul 20, 2005

Well Seeker, all I can say to you is - -

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (tomorrow)

It's also my mom's 75th. I hope you can prove worthy -- she's a hard act to follow.

Seeker, you'd be best advised to keep quiet. Believe me. You're doing much better now. Keep it that way.

Seeker will be 27 years old tomorrow. And he thinks we pay no attention to what he says

Happy Birthday Seeker! You should feel honored not to have been included on this lame thread. It's been mean spirited, dishonest, and generally pathetic from the get-go.

You guys are pretty pathetic. I've never seen a group that preaches integrity to the "trolls" but totally disregards it for themselves. I would be careful with these overt, damaging lies. You can be sued. Of course you will continue to hide behind your sheet.

How do you expect to file your lawsuit? Anonymously?

Plaintiffs have to identify themselves.

To sue somebody for slander or libel, don't you have to prove that the slandered party was injured in some way? And the slander also has to be untrue. So far most of the stuff on this board has been true, and not as bad for their reputations as the henchcrew's own actions. As for that matter, Roy Klumb better hope that statue of limitations on slander has run when the muzzle comes off Frank and Gary. Let's remember who went on TV and called who "criminals" -- heard it myownself.

As for Whitwhere and Parchhouse, dude, you need to do something about that alcohol problem you seem to have. As the evening progresses (most evenings) you get crazier and crazier.

Yes, I've also noticed this about AtM, and wondered if the craziness was due to a substance abuse problem.

Well "Dude," perhaps you need to stay off the loco weed when you're posting here. Posting under the influence is a flagrant violation of board policy, as is use of the term "Dude," unless you're under the age of 14.

First of all I'm not referring to slander, I'm referring to libel, but you are right that the plaintiff has to show damage. Are you trying to argue that all the mean spirited stuff that is written on this board doesn't cause damage, and how can you vouch for the validity of some the statements made against all the individuals against whom vindictive statements have been made? You have no way of knowing the verasity of the claims on this board. Your whole argument is flacious - dude! Where is the integrity I keep hearing about?

When one starts talking about public figures, whether it's the president of the United States (who sometimes must have to stand naked) or the president of the University of Southern Mississippi (God help anyone who has to see him stand naked), there's a bit of a different standard. Being able to call a public figure a blithering idiot (not my terminology, BTW) is part of being an American & participating in the hoax of free speech.

Speaking of the hoax of free speech, you seem to be a master of it, AtM.

Give some quotes you consider libel. You are stretching the truth and are an admitted troll. You ask, "Where is the integrity I keep hearing about?”, but your posts show you don't know the meaning of the word integrity. You admitted your goals are to shut down this board and have the AAUP-USM disband. Your blind hatred puts you on the level of the insurgents in Iraq.

AtM is an admitted troll. AtM's goal is to end free speach on this board. Don't feed this troll. When AtM reappears under another name, don't feed the troll. By their fruits you will know them.

I try not to give people too much grief over spelling errors, which are often just typos, but he's spelled "verasity" like that more than once. Think we ought to tell him, or just let him suffer?

LVN, I'm pretty tolerant of typos and common spelling errors but, honestly, flacious? I wasn't sure if we were discussing the lack of truth or a gas problem.
