The Curious Case of Carl Cornejo (Part 3) – Case Open! · 10:05pm February 22nd
Pinch me; I'm dreaming.
EqD banned Carl Cornejo in light of evidence I had compiled that suggested his account was being run by a bot.
Since then Carl Cornejo has appealed the ban.
I am utterly gobsmacked. We're living in a fairy tale – the best-case scenario.
The man who posted 6 comments on each MD, 3 within a minute and 3 within another after an interval the length of a multiple of 3…
The man who posted comments in back-to-back NDs in accordance with the pattern (a + b + b) + (a + b + b) + a + c…
The man who's been talking about apt notes, newer textures, inspiration, bemusement and gliding neatly since 2018…
Who has bewildered everyone with his incomprehensible thoughts…
Is real and committed to a role that strains my mind.
Carl, you're the most astonishing, most incredible anonymous I have ever encountered. I'm sorry for the inconvenience I caused you, and I look forward to seeing your unique insights for years to come.
Godspeed.

All's well that ends well. Bring more madness into the world, Carl. Maim the malleable and untempered minds with weird words of eldritch wisdom! New recipes to glide! This might be enough to rhythm!
My goodness, what a(nother) twist! Maybe the best thing now would be for you and Carl to collaborate on a major feature film. Hollywood awaits!
That said, it's not impossible for a person running a bot to make the odd human post under that name. So Carl could be a hybrid account, so to speak. Just a thought!

Well, this is the thing. If I am 100% serious about it, I agree that he must be using something to post on his behalf while he maintains a personal interest in the account. That's on probability. Which is more likely: Carl the committed or Carl the troll?
But – because moderation said Carl claimed that he doesn't really know what a bot is or why people think he is one – if you take him at his word, he's everything I hoped for and more. So, for the Curious Case I've given him the benefit of the doubt. If you dangled me over a snake pit and asked, that would be different.

I think you deserve this: I hereby give a Pinkie Promise not to dangle you over a snake pit!

Ta. I appreciate it.
