Excuse me, he was 29? Was he just pretending to be an 11 year old or is he really like that?
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.
I believe the term you're seeking is Asperger's syndrome. If it's not a form of autism, it's akin. It can affect highly intelligent people, causing them to take fanatically to some tasks, and pay zero attention to some others (including social skills). Yes, I know rather well at least one person afflicted with it.

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.
Screw that! I hereby charge you with making a comic series about Napoleon on peyote!

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.
Good thing that didn't happen here.

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.
If it's really Asperger's, he's probably brilliant, amoral, unintentionally obnoxious, socially inept, argumentative, aggressive, inarticulate, and probably better off living with his mother. There's no reason he can't have the computer savvy to run wild on the net.
As for the latter item, read the comics by Spankling; we have at least one regular who fills the bill :-)

I really don't understand why he didn't fit in perfectly.
We have our share of assholes who do fit in. In a place like this, we're very forgiving if you're funny.
quote:
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.
And when you finish with him, you'll probably find a half dozen bozos here who are just as interesting case studies. I leave it as an exercise to the interested reader to determine who they might be.

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.
You're talking about boorite, aren't you?
