Talk:UncleHo
From RationalWikiWiki
If he was a sock, anybody want to speculate on who? Ty 02:55, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- Despite the fact that UncleHo seemed to have some familiarity with the community right from the start, I was never really convinced that he was a sock (especially after he started discussing Marines stories at length) just because I could not nail down any specific puppeteer. Ace McWicked suggested MarcusCicero even before UncleHo's account was created; the famous-politician username would support that, as well as their shared tendency to capitalize the initial letter of parentheticals and UncleHo's bullet-spitting hatred of the British, which these days is very rarely found outside of the nine counties of Ulster. But his fanatical vendetta against me, especially on the religious question, instead shares many similarities with Neveruse/Occasionaluse's style, and there is also the issue of location: a large number of UncleHo's edits were made in the early morning Irish time, so if MarcusCicero was the puppeteer, he is a night-owl.

- "as well as their shared tendency to capitalize the initial letter of parentheticals." Dude, if you're keeping track of that sort of minutiae, it's time to step away from the wiki. :-) RationalwikiwikiUndergroundResistor 04:38, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- I will plead guilty to a heightened attention to detail, but I only took specific notice of that particular one after P-Foster brought it up. ListenerXTalkerX 05:28, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- I suspect almost everybody of being a sock from time to time but I never thought that he was one. He had sufficient backstory to convince me. He also seemed to edit whilst under the influence and then come back later when he sobered up. If he was a sock one would expect another abusive entity (sock) to suddenly appear and back him up. But that never happened, or at least I never noticed it. So he was either legit or a very good wiki-actor. I also don't believe he was MC as MC's socks usually give themselves away by constant foul language especially when they are under pressure. MC especially likes the words "c*nt" but I never recall Ho using it.--False Flag 17:11, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
