You don't know the half of it. He suffers from a behavioral/neurological disorder called "Ausberger's Syndrome" which is a kind of "idiot Savant" or "Rain Man" thing, and OCD (obsessive, compulsive disorder), plus several other malfunctions of behavior that cumulate in him ultimately being an asshole.
He's not precisely retarded, more like developmentally delayed combined with obsessive anger problems and treatable general borderline psychosis. Just think of Napoleon on Peyote and you'll have most of the picture.
He starts on a message board (often a support board)with a single inane question and if he gets a polite bite, he's off and running, making observations that make no sense, or off topic topics or left field questions.
He's often followed about by an enterouge' of detractors, none of whom can light a candle to the barrage of detraction laid down by our own beloved (see the thread). This results in threads the size of suspension bridge cables, heaping well-deserved abuse on him and scorning his trollisms.
From what I have been able to ascertain over 6 months of observation, Dave (that's his name) is a paranoid, bi-polar, frightened, obnoxious, lonely, socially inept, 29 year old psychiatrically disabled man living with his mother in New York. He is argumenative, aggressive, inarticulate, and socially stupid, but at least lucid enough for computer conversation if the audience is descended from the Marquis De Sade' and into self-flagulation.
I really don't understand why he didn't fit in perfectly.
I have done a series of strips on him and his "misadventures" beginning from the trashing of a Boards to go forum and extending outward by about six months. Ironically, (or not), he actuallys likes the toons, which depict him as an obsessive, compulsive, loudmouth with a heart, as they depict charactures of actual situations he has gotton into while under observation.
Now why do I know so much. It's because I researched him when he first popped up on the radar (google JDPLVY) and have been trying stalking him since spring or so, in hopes of understanding his phenomenon.
Why do I sound like a psychologist offering a dissertation? Because I am a self agrandizing and pompus ass who loves the sound of his own words and I am hoping that all this will make you love me, leading to mindless sweaty sex with several people I crave.
Hope that answers your question Mikey :)
