His command of English fluctuated wildly and the suspicion grew that he was a collective of posters, which is apparently against the FUA.
My own theory is that he was a hive mind.
I, as a non-native speaker of English with an interest in linguistics in general and ample experience with bilinguals in general (and with several different language-pairings involved), find the fluctuation of his English quite within the bounds of what's natural, and I think the repeated claim that such fluctuation is evidence of someone really being a collective quite unjustified, and I think you all should just fucking let that rest. You're seeding a mistaken metric into people's minds. Try being a bit fucking rational about it, plz. This forum's name is rationalskepticism, for fucking crying fucking out fucking loud.
Yes, I find repetition of such retarded claims a bit offensive. (And this particular piece of bullshit reasoning has been repeated several times on this forum already. I did hope people would have forgotten it already, but apparently not.)
