I just can't wrap my head around that. Sumac had opinions, but that kind of interaction - super fixated and super obtuse and so on - was never really his thing.

That was definitely an alt account but... Sumac? I dunno.

Not to beat a dead horse but this might seal the deal.

Sumac has an account on Dtf.ru under Shadowsumac where he posts in Russian. After Deception was banned, he was online trying to get back in as you can see under 'who's online'.

At the exact same time, I opened Sumac's profile in Dtf.Ru and he was online there too.

That was obviously Sumac. I wish he'd have been stealthier about it... I do miss his posts.

Wow. Well... alright.

I asked about this in the other thread but it's interesting how people can have a completely different perception of things. To me, being an aggressive jerk was basically all Sumac was about.

I think these evaluations are usually through the lens of who is upfront-amicable to you and who isn't. If you feel that someone is confrontational with you from the get-go then that's the end of that.

There are a couple of people here who started that way with me here years ago; and so there was no respect earned or lost in those cases. Just "instant Drome-$#!(bag" in my opinion - borderline "irredeemable".

Also, I could be misremembering his "aggression" I suppose. I have some apathetic selective memory about much of what goes on in these boards. Although I'd prefer to see them thrive.
