He didn’t make the spelling errors though. Thrasher seems like the Anesthetic alt to me

I could tell you who thrasher is but that would ruin the fun.

Anesthetic definitely made all kinds of spelling errors. It almost threw me off to be honest. 99% of the time Anesthetic ignores counter points. The fact that he pretended to not know English while actually recognizing a mistake he made (in a small sense) was quite surprising. It almost made me think it wasn’t him for a second since the deflection act is such a strong predictor for Anesthetic’s posts. But then he did a 180 and abandoned the routine for his usual routine.

I also forgot to mention that Anesthetic also has a very specific set of opinions that stay constant throughout his accounts.

Here’s an example. A personal attack with an appeal to authority, while avoiding providing anything useful about the topic. He pretends to be arguing a point when all he is doing is attacking the poster. His post boils down to nothing of substance except an implied personal attack (you don’t know the proper way to determine smurfs, but I am not going to tell you what the proper way is):

Let me say it one more time. I am not telling you that you are wrong because I have some sort of agenda, I am telling you that you have a very biased and inaccurate estimate of the proportion of smurfs because its true. I specifically mentioned my background because I know what I’m talking about, whether you choose to listen to me and come up with a better argument or don’t is up to you. However, if you want people to actually listen to you then to find a much better methodology to estimate the true proportion of smurfs.
