Well, assuming the frequent ...ellipses in each of their posts... are the pretty clear give away, along with lower case forum names that start with "c", and the seemingly drunken rants at times, I'm pretty sure that countryjoe's alter ego was just as vulgar in his postings.

I remember that as well John, but I always assumed that the introduction of the troupe of players, and the explanation that it was a social experiment was also part of the con job on us. It was just one perverted troll who was playing all the parts and just jerking everyone's chain for his own amusement. There was no social experiment. That was just said as one final twist of the knife.

Did he, or was that part of the fictitious persona? It was a college sociology class project on how to alter the dynamics on a forum.

When I was a mod on another board we gave a warning, then a 3 day suspension and then kaboom. The procedure for the outcomes (suspension and ban) were built into the software. We made very judicious use of it but it was effective.

Actually Mr. Pavlov played an odd instrument...a bell from what I remember. Anyway, gotta go. It's time for breakfast.

even though I've been on this forum for years, I don't remember this incident; but I've always been sort of intrigued by the topic of group dynamics, especially as related to forum stability.

The behavior here is a textbook example of how to make a forum work, and I'm almost surprised to hear that somebody was able to come in and disrupt it easily. Does anybody recall what the guy did?

He was rude, argumentative and generally disruptive. Picking arguments simply for argument's sake.

His sentence structure was as if he were DUI (TUI = Typing under the influence) but the worst was his attitude. Boastful and belittling of some respected regulars.

Ivan was also intentionally thick-headed. He later told us why.

Couldn't have been any worse than the old Romanian lady who used to sit outside one of the larger stores here busking with accordion in hand, she couldn't play a single note, just pulled the bellows in and out, probably felt that people wouldn't really notice as they were in too much of a hurry.

Ah ha so that's where she went, across the Irish sea; A similar lady was here a few years ago and was often accompanied by another on a one stringed guitar (proper string) played with a plastic fork.

It is so sad that we need a heads up for a low life.
