Syed was a young, white, male living in middle America, successfully trolling you guys for years. If you ever PMed with him you would have noticed his grammar and vocabulary RADICALLY different. You could even tell in his public postings where he was rushing and let his real writing style slip in with a fully American idiom that no real "syed" would have ever heard of. So obviously formulaic with his grammatical "errors" and blatant attempt at creating spelling errors that reflect a stereotyped accent... as if accent had a spelling. I'm sure others noticed and just played along with me. I once asked him where he really lived and he responded with a winkie. Does the fictional Syed you all have read know what a winkie is? hmmm? Now that he is no longer a member, I am not violating forum rules by calling him a troll. he was a troll. and surprisingly successful too, with you guys.
I can even identify him for you with a 1% level of certainty... not bad considering it is a public space...
Find the moderator on these forums that is most outspoken about and venomously defensive of the "no calling a troll a troll" rule. That's your syed sock puppet. What good is having a forum with only one demographic? "Syeds" are needed to keep it going... think about it.
