Talk:Moot (4chan)

Real name
This article was nominated for deletion because there is no concrete proof that "Christopher Poole" is his real name.

It is well known that "Moot" would not want his name to get in the hands of someone who would abuse it, so the assumption is he used a false name in the Wall Street Journal article.

It's very likely that he provided a fake name —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.136.165.124 (talk) 18:34, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Christopher Poole = CP. Duh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.147.186.227 (talk) 00:36, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * So, you're giving more credit to an "assumption" than to the Times and WSJ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.148.124.216 (talk) 05:55, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, with good reason. Millions of people have grudges against moot. Also: CP, Poole's closed... plus the fact that /b/'s header is now "HAHAHAHA: you got trolled, bitches." ThirdEchelon (talk) 07:08, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Haha
This is a perfect example of the flaw in "verifiability over truth." -- nlitement [talk]  23:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
