Or are they just like-minded?

Elaborate. Well, my theory is that they're all alts of the same player.

Back when I made "The Silver Eyes Connection" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMZsCK4kDSs ) after the book of the same name came out, I found I typhically had three types of responses:

Some people loved the video. And said it helped them figured out the book.

Some people were theorists in their own right, and pitched their own theories, and offered counterpoint and constructive criticism. In which case I engaged them and did The Dance.

Some people couldn't believe that I wasted my own time on this crap. But, since the time was clearly mine, they quickly left after casting aspersions on the video, having no more motivation to stay.

But one person out of all the commenters was unique: The told me, simply, that I should QUIT.

I asked why? They said I should quit. I repeated the case for my ideas, and after some hem-hawing they circled back around to the part where I Should *QUIT*. A reliable repeating pattern.

Now, the people who thought the video was crap, didn't stay. They didn't have a stake in staying, because the video was crap and they had better things to do.

But here was a person who, rather than leaving, could not possibly appeal enough to me on the absolute importance that I Stop Making Videos, Now. And they persued this goal with a determined, highly motivated energy that defied all explaination.

Almost as if, if my theories ever caught on, they might have something to lose.

This person's name was "Ocean Ocean". And I was amazed to find that not only were they commenting on my Youtube video.. but when I traveled to the FNAF Wiki for the first time, Ocean, the same Ocean, was already there.

And he immediately started doing the very same thing: Using every possible rational argument that my theories were fundamentally flawed, and that I should quit making them. And when rational arguments failed, he would resort to irrational ones, or just perform D&D Charisma Attacks by insulting my ideas as 'Clearly Too Flawed For Serious Consideration'.

Not only that.. but when I visited the Message Walls of some of the other regular contributors to the Wiki... I discoverd that Ocean had been talking.. about ME.. before I'd even become active. Going so far as to tell people not to trust me..!!

Ocean very clearly had a powerful motiviation to see that my theories never reached the light of day.

An inspite of all the horrible, gut-reaming arguments we ended up having because of this.. Ocean never left, but kept right on swinging. No matter how many times I beat him in an argument.

One of his favorite tacts was simply to Forget The Past. And arguments that I had made and won, simply vanished from his mind sometimes, requiring me to explain them to him again.. again. again. Again Again. Yet additionally AGAIN!

This potently toxic mix of condesension, high motivation, forgetfullness and a high priority for ignoring and negating evidence, was quite extraordinary, and made a very different personality signature than anyone else I talked to on the Wiki.

Except, when these same mannerisms, fueled by an overwhelming desire to personally debunk me at any cost, appeared in other people in other places.

Ambassador, for example, shows this signature here. Just as Merc does on the Game Theorist discord.

And as Cutesy did, in our Twitter Battle last week: https://imgur.com/gallery/JKQZwof

When you become familar with these very specific, very signatured, highly abnormal personality traits, repeatedly over the course of several years, it gets increasingly earier to spot them when traveling to new places and meeting new people, that might actually turn out to be old people that you already know.

It didn't take long when I started talking on the GT #FNAF channel, to see these traits in Merc.

Or here, with Ambassador.

I used to be blazing angry about this.

But over the years, it's slowly cooled, like the coals of a campfire slowly choking on their own ash, but still with an edge to them if you shake them out.

Now.. I just feel disappointed more than anything else.

These new bans are simply an escalation of previous objectives.
