If you're on this forum, you obviously know who the Man in the Pickle Suit is. I had no idea when I joined this forum that the TRUE AND HONEST Man in the Pickle Suit was a member of the boards.
But anyhow, Christian is fascinating to me particularly during the Golden Age of Trolling because of the way that trolls constructed a reality for him. One could debate endlessly the extent to which the "constructed reality" was caused by Christian's own narcissism, gullibility, autism, and wishful thinking, as well as whether Christian stopped falling for trolls out of simple pattern recognition, a gradual coming-to-terms with reality, or an overall lack of drive. And there's also the larger question of whether Christian at the present continues to live within a "constructed reality," albeit one constructed by him and Barb rather than outside agents, in which he's the hapless victim of a massive conspiracy perpetrated by autistic-hating homosexual trolls.
So, I chose the Man in the Pickle Suit as my screen name because it's emblematic of the theme of Christian's malleable reality. It stretches credibility to think that a spiky-haired Guido or a fat Hawaiian surf shop owner are your nemeses, but believing that your problems were orchestrated by a man wearing a pickle costume? That stretches credibility, then breaks it, not unlike an unfortunate part of Christian's anatomy.
