I think Tiberius, is that, given my own short time on this forum, my initial thoughts when you declared your sock puppet was immediately reverendjeremiah parody.
This may never have been your intention, or it may have been, frankly it doesn't matter, the same goes for LMA.
We all found it hilarious, we all congratulate you on fooling us (I can at least claim to have Poe-spotted Niqabi in my first post in their introduction, :fistpump: ).
The central issue I think is that there were perhaps, consciously, or subconsciously, some passive-aggressive nature to some of the "characters" created, which can be perceived as a personal affront.
It doesn't MATTER if it was intentional or not, but there was a failure to understand how a couple of these caricatures would be perceived by others.
Congratulations on an extremely well played prank, I simply think perhaps given the volatile nature of opposing opinions on this forum, a little more care might have been due to respect those who hold less extreme versions of the Poe opinions.
Even godchild can be a little offended about One King, and maybe rightfully so. I give less of a fuck at that point, showing what a hypocrite I am.

Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog
If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
