It's been mentioned up thread, but it's interesting that Nose knows you almost by name but also some of the/your lore. I think it's a symptom of a larger issue he has with the Farms, but it could be direct.
It fascinates me how cows like Masterson and Nick shape their entire behavior to counter-signal the farms
I also know from experience that Nick used to solicit and rely on information from Farmers. I, and others, fed him a lot of stuff during the Vic saga.
Part of the reason Rackets is so butt-hurt is a combination of the two posts above. The Farms, in general, used to enjoy Balldoman, pre-balldo, and saw some good from him. We've talked about his public-facing turn (regardless of whether that was also a private change or not). I'd like to think I was one of the critics, but as others have posted, there was skepticism as already as the first page of this thread.
Above said, the reason Rackets hates the Farms now is we turned on him. The same with Dick. It's been mentioned above thread, and recently the association with Vito is just another nail in the coffin. Rackets is just lashing out at public faces, or as best as he create in his head. And let's be honest, he's lashing out because things aren't going well.
There is an open question of whether he reads the thread or not still. I don't think he could figure out Tor, or at least be troubled to mess with it, even if he runs Brave. I think he may look at it on clearnet but if not, he's definitely getting info fed to him from Locals and Spectre.
The problem Rackets has, and no offense intended Capt, is that the people feeding him info, in particular now, are retards. Spectre has his own thread ffs, but we have seen the level of writing from locals. Yeah, chat room English != formal English essay, but there are many, clear errors of stupidity across it. And from the writings Himedall has collated, we can tell their general handle on reality, much less logic, just isn't there.
Meanwhile, say what you will about the Farms, but our info is in public, maybe only through Tor but public. And you can see what happens when stupidity rises in the Farms. TiC is an example, nuked off the site and by all appearances, gone. When retards like SL rise in Locals, even after bannings, they keep coming back.
And the reason Himedall is noticed, is because the light brought to Nick's locals degeneracy and retardation, in comparison to the Farms, shows two very different communities. And one is clearly better. But to Nick, we're horrible, because we don't even pay to talk about him, and because we don't fellate him.
