Maybe it's partially my fault for not focusing on individual users in the OP, but Dan goes waaaaaaaay back with Patrick. If I had shown that he's been one of Patrick's main foes since the beginning, people might have complained less. I didn't because, in most cases, I had no idea who the troll was (just by username), but I had other reasons, one being to not unintentionally build case against people for Patrick in case he ever decided to get litigious, which he did.
Maybe Dan would have been shown a little more deference if people recognized him from the OP as one of Patrick's main foes since the beginning.
Funny story: When Patrick got his big speeding ticket, he (of course) denied it it ever happened, despite it being on video and the hearing being public record. It remained unpaid for weeks while he, presumably, begged Niki's mother for money. Dan paid $1 of it and showed Patrick the receipt. Patrick paid the debt immediately afterward.
Dan also used to get people to block Patrick's alt account as a cyberstalker, which would ENRAGE him like almost nothing else. That alt account is now permabanned, sadly.
Anyway, Dan has initiated or been in on countless bits. I probably would have highlighted users whose funny antics could be traced back to them, but that was almost never the case, and I also didn't want to potentially put heat on anyone later back when I started the thread in January 2020, long before Dan's podcast came into being.
Thank you for reading.
