Did you have any specific ones in mind? |

Totally reasonable. I find it's a lot harder to be unreasonably nice than unreasonably dickish. And I am, of course, merely speculating. |

He's a good, likeable person, but sometimes I wonder if something is wrong with him. Mostly, he's normal and rational, but sometimes his behavior changes inexplicably and he gets extremely awkward about something (even by internet forum standards) and does something irrational. Then he's OK again. |
Everyone's behaviour changes every now and then. His is probably prone to changing a bit more when he's tired or just sad about life in general, apparently, just like all of us.
And, if I were JBJ, I would probably have had second thoughts after posting the thread. L4C knew how to push people's buttons with his delusions of grandeur, and it's only natural he felt a bit proud to discover what L4C was up to... but then you ask: How sad is it that he actually felt the need to create an awesome persona online? Should we really feel glad to find out who he really is, or should we feel bad he was a twisted underachiever who wanted to feel better about himself?
After giving it some thought, I find it hard to not stick with the second option. |

Well JBJ basically started the thread as bit of self-congratulation for his part in exposing L4C, and also to bring the debacle to the COR's attention to add to the scorn. It's very untypical of JBJ to show off or be spiteful, and I imagine he felt a bit contrite. |
Yeah, that is pretty much it.
Any time I tear into somebody online I end up feeling bad about it shortly after. |

I think I know the feeling :p
Except when I suspended the seventh reincarnation of the Chlola... I'm still waiting for the comedown. |

| I wouldn't count someone like Trolla. I'm talking about people that actually have some likable qualities and a purpose for posting beyond just annoying others. |

Oh, then I can totally relate to how you feel :D
Edit: Here, listen to this... the first minutes should make you feel better...

Looks like you skimmed through the looney4clooney thread too, :p cus it seems as though you're missing a few, yet important elements of the story. |
