While
I don't know for certian --- I
very strongly suspect “Skywatcher” = “Sam” & “BmpBmp” ('Sam' and 'BmpBmp' are, by “his” own admission, definitely one in the same)
Skywatcher's M.O. is
identical! - To wit: ceaseless references to propaganda and irrelevant, manifestly benign, material (usually images) - accompanied by overt or covert suggestion of cause for angst therein, refusal to learn from, heed the advice of, and, for the most part, so much as acknowledge respondents - The ‘whipped pup routine' being “his” ‘standard’ response to strong criticism…
Like Skywatcher, 'Sam' (BmpBmp's HZ pseudonym) occasionally employed 'skepticism' as an 'introductory auxiliary' --- IMO as an attempt to ‘disarm’ “his” critics…
IMHO said behavior represents gray-area ‘trolling’, inasmuch as “he” is sheltering back of a smokescreen of
feigned ignorance while garnering attention and creating annoyance… The situation was similar on the HZ. While many found 'Sam'
exasperating, “his” antics failed to rise to the level of expulsion lest we be deemed elitist or impatient… For my part, I feel Skywatcher's *REFUSAL* to learn betrays his insincerity...
My $.02…..
BTW BA? - FWIW “Sam’s” IPs traced to several ISP’s in Toronto and, occasionally, the eastern provinces (colloquially ‘The Maritimes’) --- Please understand, I offer this info as a courtesy (should you wish to ‘compare notes’) – I understand that for ethical reasons, etc. you will most likely prefer to withhold comment…
