Seemingly Mentally Ill Internet Commenter Presumably Functions In Outside World

[XemaSab]

Though his incoherent, deeply uninformed, and often abusive internet comments seem to suggest he suffers from severe mental illness, web user DaemonX is in all likelihood a normal individual capable of functioning in the outside world, sources reported Wednesday.

Noting that he must at least own a computer, know how to use it, and possess the basic skills required to publish his thoughts on numerous websites and forums, internet users said DaemonX—the username of a person who posts dozens of inane and delusional comments online every day—is presumably a stable member of society.

“Clearly this guy has a working internet connection, so he must have some way of paying the bills, which I guess means he’s holding down a job,” said John Winegar, 34, reading YouTube comments from DaemonX that reportedly contained threats, profanity, and extremely forced sexual innuendos that make no sense to anyone. “If he lived with his parents or in some kind of mental health facility, surely someone would stop him from going online and making so many inexplicable and racially charged statements.”

“I can only assume this is an ordinary, sane individual who has a home, goes shopping, cooks dinner, and pays taxes like anyone else,” he added.

4. Can you list a single company that hires people for commenting online?

I'm not talking about a PR person at Barnes&Noble logging into DU-



A single company with personnel that another company or government would hire to "spread a message"...


Just one-

9. No, it's probably the one where DU's tomb-stoned trolls go

the website named after an ancient tree.

I'd post the link but have no idea if it's still forbidden.

7. An Onion post is a call-out of DUers?

Are you familiar with the concept of "ideas of reference?"
