I don't see the point of this thread now that we're quite sure he made it up as a part of his research.

What are you talking about? What research?

The "Get a Life" argument is flawed. If someone is alive, this person has a life. This person just chooses to do different things than other people, like hang out in front of the PC all day.

And i will not take part in any Experiment without getting paid for it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Psychoanalytic research into how people react to that Munchausan (sp?) Syndrome thing, perhaps?

[Playbahnosh]

What does Munchausen syndrome has to do with any of this?
If is a psychonanalytic research, it must be about how people react to penguin kinda people... or something like that...

Isn't Muncahusen Syndrome where you make up a whole pile of bad things and say they happened to you to look for sympathy?
If he's engaging in reasearch, then surely it'd be research people's reactions to someone who alleges that a whole pile of bad stuff happens to him.

Granted. Just looked it up. Well, if this was a research, I think penguin will soon tell us that, if it's not...well... maybe there are REALLY people like penguin out there, who are having anger mamagment problems and suffer of acute neurosis.

This research:

I can independently confirm having seen remarkably similar stories before. I'm relative sure one was on the HOTUD forum about a year or so ago (though I fear it may have been nuked during the mess that went on over there several months back). I recall it, in the end, being some sort of mis-guided senior thesis research about the psychology of online communities. This whole thread is eerily similar.

Since there was a topic like this already even on this forum, I can not believe it's a coincidence. Also check out what Velik m posted, I think that's a clear enough evidence.
