i personally believe the person behind starcrunch(all the 'tweeners up to )crunchimusmaximus to have pulled off the all time greatest troll job... to me, there simply wasn't any way he could have been legit. why he felt the need to present us with that personality is beyond me, but i think it had something to do with the reception/perception...
i went round for round with him, too... and realized i wasn't getting anywhere. Hoop jumped in and set me straight- and i gotta say Hoop was right. once he put it in the perspective of 'entertaining troll', i don't think i ever looked at it another way.
