Those following the strange tale of Man Boobz’ recently crowned Troll of the Year for 2012 will be intersted to know that someone calling himself Mikhael_Varpole has done a self-post on the Men’s Rights Subreddit claiming that he’s not MRAL after all and declaring me a liar. Here’s his explanation, FWIW.
I’ll be keeping him banned, in any case; even if this serial liar and sockpuppeter is telling the truth about this (highly unlikely, in my opinion), he’s still a serial liar and sockpuppeter.
Also, for the record, he wasn’t using a “similar” IP as Scooby Doo/MRAL; it was the same IP. And he was using the IP before I called him out for sockpuppeting as Torvus Butthorn — which is what he’s referring to, dishonestly of course, when he talks about doxxing.
He’s clearly just trying to stir up more shit, but it looks like the folks in r/mensrights aren’t biting.
Anyway, I guess we can consider this his Troll of the Year acceptance speech.
Sad. But it does explain his furor at the “doxxing”.
I give it a 3 out of 5. It’ll get to 4/5 if he can stick the flounce.
Wait Wait!! He had points? That David refused to debate?
Well, that changes everything, eh?
When you lie that big, the lies get bigger and bigger to try to cover one’s ass.
Boo-hoo, Mikey.
David, how many hopping mad emails did you get from him last night?
Better than sunshinemary’s speech.
Oh Mr. Al, get help. This is just sad.
Also sad, much more so, is that Gerda Lerner died yesterday. A pioneer in women’s history, who helped found this program.
This sort of adds to my feeling that the whole Mr Al persona was fake, too. I’m getting the feeling more and more that this is just some smartarse stirring for its own sake, not a kid with problems or whatever. Given he kept up the Steele persona so long, it wouldn’t be past him to have done the same with the Mr Al one.
What a peculiar hobby.
Also, notice how the writing in this one is like Steele without the exaggeratedly bad English? What’s the bet the tosser is just trying to stir things up? I wonder if he was disappointed that everyone was laughing at the trick here and/or feeling a little sorry for his problems? Nobody got mad at all. Bad luck, Mr Al.
He’s just pretending to rage-quite ’cause he has to go back to school next week.
We should go up-vote the shit out of that post xD
Shit, this kid earned every pixel on his TotY award poster.
YOU ALREADY WON, STEELE. YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP TRYING.
Kitteh, the Mr. Al persona was fake at least to the extent that everything he claimed happened to him was fake, as he admitted later. But there’s a real person behind it all with a real personality that you can start to see through all the socks.
Posting through an IP proxy does weaken the chance of making a successful identification. Maybe Varpole isn’t MRAL… who cares. What is sad is having a stable of identities to trot out whenever convenient. Only a fortnight ago I saw MRAL’s ‘matriarchy’ sock — the one with a striking avatar of a man chained to a giant red stiletto heel with lips — on one of the blogs that hadn’t banned him.
Katz – oh yeah, I just wonder whether that person’s a kid. All the women-spit-on-me hyperbole, the I-am-so-deformed BS, no question that was phoney. But is he even a teenager, or is anything real past the shit-stirrer with a talent for writing and far too much time on his hands? Is even the misogyny part real? I don’t know and I can’t say I particularly care, it’s just like an odd puzzle. I do know he’s not someone I’d ever want to meet, whatever the reality.
Even if MR AL has been honest about his age and his problems, he’d be, what, 21 now? I can’t bring myself to be all “aw, that poor mixed-up kid” about somebody almost my age. I expect more from my peers.
I’m over the “poor mixed-up kid” thing with him because hooooooooooly fuck, does he have issues. How fucked do your boundaries have to be to repeatedly show up at a place you’ve been explicitly asked to leave? His whole routine smacks of “you can’t tell ME what to do, your no is meaningless.” I hope like hell that whoever he is, he’s not in a relationship, not with those kind of red flags popping up.
Only all of your sockpuppets, honey, only them.
“childish” and “group think mind set”..mmkay…
He’s a JAJ – just another jerkwad.
I just love how he acts like he had real points instead of just showing up here and calling everything Excusemevile.
How many MRA talking points did he hit?
1. falsely accused
2. debating my points
3. silenced
4. GroupThink mindset
5. as it were okay, that’s just a Steele thing
6. frame me
7. dismiss the MRA viewpoint without engaging
8. threatened me with doxxing
9. FLOUNCE
It’s the perfect tri-trifecta.
Why do I think that someone who uses the word “frankly” three times in one post, possibly isn’t being frank?
Now, I must stop trying to unravel the meaning of his last pargraph & go to bed.
MRSteel is also suffering from an excess of “frankly.”
That was an epic ninja, frankly.
My first ninja. Frankly, I’m so proud.
