    I just don’t get it.

    At this point, it’s just become fun for some of us.

    The underlying fascination, though, is the seeming incongruity of someone espousing a right-wing (religion oriented) worldview, on, of all places, the internet, and, in addition, using (apparently) less than straightforward methods.

    Those who disagree with him use his (perceived) hypocrisy to discredit his opinions. Those who agree with him are somewhat embarrassed that he “represents” their views.

    Some of us kind of get a kick out of it, but I think that is the underlying issue. I don’t blame someone for taking offense at being accused of being just another of his screen names; although this is an anonymous forum, everyone wants to feel that their views are fairly represented as their own.

    “I just don’t get it”

    especially for us newbies who have never “met” this mystical creature…or is it mythical?

    You must be Joe, then.

    He is the official CR mascot. One should be obsessed with the team mascot. When the Phanatic comes out, the crowd roars!

    Oh, I definitely met Joseph many times,

    back in the day when his screen name was Joseph and not some other random names, but I posted under a different name then (truthfully I don’t remember what I was even called then; hence the new name).

    I just feel like if people are really upset about his views then they should ignore him because he obviously likes the attention and the fireworks that he starts.

    And sometimes I think he’s just playing devil’s advocate to see what everyone will say in response.

    It’s the editor and some moderators who seem to be obsessed. The other moderators expressed that they don’t care that much. I’m sure you aren’t calling real-brisker obsessed when he faces the possibility of having every thought that he expressed here over the course of time, dismissed as a joke, fake, deciever etc.

    No I’m not calling anyone in particular obsessed.

    Hey who knows maybe I’m Joseph?? JK 😀

    I was just curious why people spent so much time and energy into someone who obviously wants it.
