If you clicked any of my recent threads within a weird 48hr period a week ago then you probably saw a new forum member named BROtorGuy lightly harassing me to varying degrees. The prevailing theory was that it was the return of one of our old members who was banned for trolling, but at work this appeared:
So, mystery solved, it was my coworker who makes tshirts sometimes. Weird but I probably deserved it given how much time I spend on GRM at the office.
If you have no idea what this thread is about that makes sense too, his account got the old super-ban where all of the posts disappear.
Anyone putting that much effort in, belongs here. #bringbackbrotorguy
Are his initials possible E C?
I have the full name but just being discrete. I scared off another new user at the same time because we thought he was the same.
In reply to Steve_Jones :
I told him to come back and finish identifying that Soviet engine.
In reply to John Welsh :
Might be the same person or might be coincidental, that is very close to the correct initials.
I saw a few of his posts but didn't really pay any attention to them.
But that shirt is 100% awesome
In reply to John Welsh :
Nope, maybe let that one in.

Ah, he was starting to give me GarageGorilla (or was it GorillaGarage?) vibes. I wonder how that guy is doing these days
This makes me want to make a second log-in just to lightly harass ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you notice a new member named BROtorDude, it's totally not me

I completely forgot about him.
One thing that is interesting with fresh trolls in an established forum is how everyone tries to figure out who he is (was). Looks like BRO pulled off the perfect trolling, as no one suspected him.

He's doing well, and is now known as "FatMongo"
berkeley that guy. EDIT: BROtor guy coworker I mean; if changeable-name-other-guy is doing well, good on him.
We all get annoyed for free all the time. Don't E36 M3 on the fact that this place's general reaction to clueless new arrivals is reasonable answers and guidance.
