Idiot Box used a new strategy this time.

Every time previously, idiot box used his own account to post the nasty pictures. However, this technique was weak as people could just ignore it as soon as they saw his username and the tip of a picture frame on the forums, and he knew it. So this time he changed his game up.

This time he started with a long, well written fake apology, for which he used the primary idiot box account to post. He then made sure there were tons of people watching and commenting on the thread, and waited patiently, before then posting the nasty pictures on a separate dummy account designed to look like a genetic otfer. It’s horrifyingly brilliant, and probably got a bunch of new victims that normally are able to look away as soon as they see his username.

So please, regardless of whether you see him “apologizing” or talking normally or anything else, doesn’t matter. By now he’s lost his chance at redemption. Ignore, report, and stay away from the thread so you don’t get baited again. I got lucky enough not to see it when it was deleted on the first thread this time, although he got me on a secondary thread unfortunately. So keep away from idiot box at all times, regardless of how he appears to be interacting.

From the (nonexistent) brains behind Idiot-Box, it’s Baby At Work!

Edit: I meant generic not “genetic”

Yippeee

Thank you for that well written warning.
