For a guy who doesn't take himself too seriously, he sure creates a lot of sockpuppets to argue with his detractors and sing his own praises.



I feel like anyone who makes knowledge of their MESNA membership public takes themselves fairly seriously...


Wait, Scott Adams is part of a organosulfur compound?


He did that once a few years ago. He learned his lesson.

I was around for the fateful Metafilter thread where Scott Adams sockpupetted vigorously until he was found out: http://mefiwiki.com/wiki/Scott_Adams,_plannedchaos

It's a pretty........... interesting read. http://www.metafilter.com/102472/How-to-Get-a-Real-Education...


Damn, this is some extra crazy. https://www.reddit.com/user/plannedchaos

Good thing PG only updates his footnotes when people "misunderstand" him.


Wow - there's few better examples of the fine line between crazy and genius.

I can't tell if he's using the plannedchaos accounts on various sites to seriously defend himself by proxy, or is it that he thinks the Internet is a load of pixels on a screen that unlike some of us he just doesn't take it very seriously?

Edit: somebody commented below that Scott is now a professional troll, and I'm inclined to think that they're probably right!


I wrote that comment. Adams is out of touch.
