I didnt even know i was supposed to be trying to work out your account there 

As it should be.

No one expects the redneck inquisition!

Oops. I may have said too much.

BF's bitch will never figure out your handle.

He will say it's me.

Kewl, but I think it's funny no one has figured out which one is me yet.
I keep expecting to see that I've been unmasked but nary yet a peep.

It could be I've been overestimating their sleuthing skillz and need to make a "mistake" or two before they catch on.

I guess you have to have posted with those geriatric flamers across multiple forums for at least a quarter century to appreciate that repeating the same insults to the same people for the bazillionth time really is content.

It might help if you look at those interactions as a form of rote exchanges, like people people saying "Good morning" or "How are you doing?" to each other when they meet. It's not supposed to be literally an observation or inquiry into their current status. They're just default noises people make at each other in a shared expression of familiarity and social connectedness.

All they're really saying is:
"I recognize you as a member of my tribe and therefore offer you acknowledgement of existence."

No thinking needed.
Pure reflex call-and-respond display, not dissimilar to apes pant-hooting to each other across the tree tops.

Content? No.
Smooth monkey brains doing smooth monkey brain things.

Expecting deeper meaning or higher-order engagement are fool's errands.
