Do you believe Link was an Einzige sock?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

No (normal)

The two had completely different posting styles. Being easily irritable and angry isn't a trait exclusive to Einzige, he would write long sage like posts peppered with insults, Link was just short and snippy. Plus politically they differed on much.

I seriously can't believe anyone thinks that. There's virtually no similarity at all in fact aside from both being jerks.

[Torie]

No. Ludicrous.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Wasn't Link another poster?

[WalterMitty]

who?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Has anyone even floated this idea?

Yes.

[Хahar 🤔]

At first it seemed like he might be, but it later became apparent that that wasn't the case.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Not interested.

[Mr. Morden]

Any poster from recent years who's a "character" of some kind inevitably has people reaching for "This must be a sock of so-and-so".

[King]

Early on I did but he proved to be a different kind of strange.

[Gustaf]

I think I initially thought he might be as well. They shared the trait of arrogant aggression without any superiority. But the differences were pretty big as well.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

They had absolutely nothing in common besides both being assholes and easily irritable. Which are hardly rare traits amongst internet posters.

Also there's a difference between suspecting him of being a sock at first and stubbornly insisting today "He was an Einzige sock and no I have no evidence whatsoever to prove it but it doesn't matter, he was an Einzige sock so suck it" as someone is basically doing now...

Ha@these numbers. Owned.

I don't feel owned, bad, sad, angry or upset.  I have an opinion.  The fact that it differs from others' doesn't phase me a bit, BRTD, but I'm glad you're smiling today.  I look forward to your next poll.

Cheers.

Who ever suggested this in order for BRTD to make the poll? Or is it yet another one of those strawmen BRTD likes to construct just to beat around?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Considering that Einzige has apparently created another sock, I can confirm that there is no evidence whatsoever that Link and Einzige are the same (and now quite a bit of evidence that they are in fact not the same).

Link was Jesus compared to Ziggy.

Wasn't Link and Einzege sock?  That's kind of why I liked him sometimes.  Einzige was an ignorant as well, but he was well read and well written, and we got along.

I've also received confirmation of this from Einzige himself, who also doesn't seem too happy or amused at the premise.

However I don't see Grumps changing his insistence despite all the new counter-evidence as well.

Why do you care so much?  You're getting all worked up over what amounts to pretty much nothing...

Well yeah, but he's taken his quirkiness to a new level on this one.  It's like his BRTDness is on steroids.

It's a view as irrational and moronic as Truthers and Birthers.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Perhaps now, but back when Grumps actually made the statement, there was actually some circumstantial evidence that supported it.

I actually heard from Einzige when was back for a moment.  He said while his views were different than Link's he didn't say it was outrageous to think this......but please let BRTD go on and one for a decade or so about this, so we don't have to hear him spout on about something J.J. said back in 2005.
