Sometimes people make more than one account on a site and let it lie dormant, just posting enough to make it seem not to be a sock. Then they go bug-nuts and get banned, only to come back under that sock. Sometimes they use the sock account to fluff their rep, or defend their depredations. Not saying its true in this case! Time will tell...I'm new enough here despite my registration date to not have experienced DRich. I stay out of the atheism/theism threads for the avoidance of insane behavior (though I do know of theists who don't go bug nuts and act like atheists are totally missing out, swoon). That's based on past experience on other sites, BTW.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
