Snorting his way across the USA
There is some speculation that our new friend Rampersad might be one of us. Or, it might be a little more nefarious. We need to dig deep in the the psyche to determine who he is. I think I know how this whole thing played out:

"So, Lieutenant Harishenko, you are here for the test for Cryptological Officer no?"

"Yes Comrade Colonel."

"Take this. What does this say?"

"I don't have a clue! I can't make any sense of this! It looks like, like, Chinese to me!"

"You pass Lieutenant, it is Chinese. You start this afternoon. So tell me, what was your previous assignment?"

"I was missile fire control officer."

"Impressive, what was the exam like for that position?"

"Very difficult, Comrade Colonel. You match picture of air defense missile with picture of airplane. Failure to match picture of air defense missile with airplane immediate disqualification!"

"Good, good, your history of service to the Motherland is to be regarded. Your first assignment, lead your team to gather more information on the American society."

Harishenko slumped back in to his torn vinyl reclining chair sipping a small cup of strong expresso, his glazed eyes focused past the seated Sergeant Gorcheb, wondering how he is going to accomplish his mission.

"Comrade Lieutenant, sir, there is no 'x' in 'expresso'" Gorcheb stated.

"Don't question my drink! We are not in Italy! Now do you understand your assignment?"

"Yes Comrade Lieutenant. I am to determine characteristics of American society. No problem. I ask GRU, they know everything."

"No GRU, cannot be trusted. We are Secret Cryptological Ministry. We no need GRU."

"Okay then I ask my sister Elena in California."

"No Sister Elena, we no allowed personal communication. You have desktop computer and Internet as resource. Start with what all Americans like to do. Their hobbies."

"Like what? American eat cheese burger and oppress junior labor members."

"They like to fly airplane."

"Private citizen fly F15 and C130 aircraft? I heard many story but..."

"No, no, remember as a child the Little Vlade books?"

"Yes! Yes! Little Vlade ride choo choo train my favorite! Little red train with smiley face!"

"Remember book Little Vlade ride ariplane?"

"Yes! Yes! Little red airplane with smiley face!"

"Those. I recommend find Internet forum, for the little pilots that fly little red planes. They don't have to be red. They can be other colors."

"Okay, but, I need, Internet handle. If they know I Russian, NSA will be all over me."

"Pretend to be something else. Maybe, African."

"No. Too many black people in America, they will see through that."

"Ahhh East Indian! Yes, I choose East Indian handle. The average American believe Indian wear feather hat and belong in stockade to be oppressed. NSA not care, they worry about other things. So I need a name that I can abbreviate to an aviation topic handle."

"How about Wingal 'Wing' Vishnu?"

"Too obvious. Need more subtile."

"Ahhhh....aaaahhhh! Rampersad 'Ramp' Haribhai!"

"Perfect!"
 
I suspect that there is one person who was Hacky, Flemming, (for brief moments CTSLi), and a couple of others. They were all too similar.

I no longer think CTSLi is trolling by the way but early on there were some interesting answers to questions.

Now Ramp??? Could it be flemming be changing his game?
Both Flemming and Hacky sent me PMs after posts that had very similar tone in them.

Ramp is completely different. I think troll = yes and I think all of these troll(s) are pilots.

I know very little about trolling or the why and I even posed that question here in Jan
http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67372

I am honored to be included in the choices but if I was the troll in question, the posts would be funnier.

I came to the board about the pflemming time. Were there other trolls before him with the same tone? Is there any timing where when This troll was posting so-in-so also happened to be posting?

One starts to wonder if Ramp might be Sac Arrow and this poll is the perfect way to say look over there...

At any rate, I do think it is one person creating all these accounts and I think they are a pilot but I don't know anyone here's writing style or personality well enough to guess who is behind the curtain.

Only "trolling" i have done has been the unregistered post which was quite obvious was me as being unregistered was part of the schtick. Thanks for deleting that by the way to whomever was offended. :mad:

Ford Escort Service was funny.
 
I did vote for myself because of the available options, I am the most likely candidate but there are for more likely options that were not listed.

I would LOVE it if it was Ron. Wouldn't see that in a million years.

Edit: None of the poll choices work, unless the crypto guy is working from the UK. Most likely an older bloke originally from South Africa with a sense of humor.

Yeah, although I suspect all of my stated choices have the technical savvy to spoof a UK IP address through a proxy service, Al Gore included (He invented the Internet, right?)

Good point. A logical suspect.

I only include you because I think someone else commented he might be you. But you're right, I would think if that would be the case his posts would be more imaginative as well. And, by the same token.....
 
well, I do believe the MODs have the ability to track ip addresses.....they could look for a match between the Troll-in-question and some potential candidates, although I'm aware of the ways around that. however, if the troll wasn't aware of this, they may be able to pinpoint who it is.

on the otherhand, do we want to encourage that kind of snooping around? prolly not.

As an admin level mod on a couple sportbike forums, we don't bother to try to track down the identity of habitual trolls, with maybe one or two exceptions. We just ban them when it's apparent.

This place would be boring if the MC here did the same, so I guess I wouldn't encourage it either.
 
I agree that if Bryan was trolling he would do a far better job of entertaining us while doing so.

So you voted for yourself and then didnt come out and actually deny it/he is you. I love it. :)
 
None of the above.

I think it's Henning

He's been championing this guy from the get go....

Well I eluded to the fact that it is not me.
It isn't me but that is what anyone would say.

Still, I am the most likely candidate on that particular list.

I also noticed Sac did not deny after I threw his name out :dunno:

I thought I did so implicitly in post #8, but for the record, it's not me.
 
Could be Henning,he seems to keep the ramp man going in the posts.

Nope.....
Ben is too dumb to pull off that....:yes:....;).....:lol:

Hah! So he can build his own airplane using Ford engines, kick back into a hot tub and not have the means to do that? I think he is a bigger omission than Henning!
 
Bah, trolls we can do without.

This is the place to come talk about boats. :D
 
Wit all the posts recently, I thought we were talking about girls! :goofy:

1. POA member

4. Austensibly you, except your handle appears to have been taken from a British comedy series.
5. Former United States Vice President
6. Fictional character based on speculation
 
Henning makes some sense as he has been spending some time in Europe lately. He could possibly fit Sac's original profile, but you would need to substitute a German accent for the Russian one.
 
Strike the above post.

What I meant to say was, "Why does it appear that I am treated with such disrespect by such a distinguished group?"

Sorry - don't know what came over me.

Pardon me while I go get my daily curry fix.

The difficulty with that is the German accents are generally grammatically correct, so you have to impart the accent by modifying the words, instead of simply deleting them.

Ask Arnold.
 
Rampersad Haribhai is a character from the south african version of the comedy show. I am trying to remember who it is, but one of the regulars here used to fly for some outfit in SA at some point in his career.
