You have got to be kidding.

The horror. The horror.
Add laughably thin-skinned to the list of attributes for SI.
So we have:
1 - posting history at ZLMB
2 - quick to take offense
3 - dull-witted: there's been no evidence of writing and/or comedic talent, but rather an unimaginative, lead-footed style
I think that narrows the field for interested parties quite a bit.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

You also have to add a knack for reposting/drudging up old posts, possibly collecting posts for future use. Are these posts even still publicly available?

Re: What shaped my Internet experience.
Weird. I finally found some of these posts, but they aren't even from sr1030. They are from Pacumeni. At least the one with the keyword Jupiter and sr1030. Apparently on a thread about Eternal Progression. He isn't even talking to sr1030, rather someone named JUSTTT.
It's all dumped into controversial:

Re: What shaped my Internet experience.
This has all just become too painfully tedious and maudlin to follow (and that is saying a lot coming from me). Have fun guys!

Hey, jskains:
I bet if you admitted to the sockpuppet that many of the people on the board would seriously consider your request that they "take responsibility" for their posts.

Re: What shaped my Internet experience.
Z really was a great board!
Here's JUSTTT criticizing the board's participants for their snide and insulting remarks.
I have to say that I, myself, didn't experience much of that on Z.

JUSTTT: Pacumeni9, you assume too much. No one asked me to come to ZLMB.
May I make a suggestion to improve your board? Why don't you and some others stop the snide remarks?
Why can't you state an opinion without trying to insult someone? Do you really think the Saviour would be pleased by such.
Be professional. Try the Golden Rule.

I just know how to google search particular sites. To do a search for sr1030 on ZLMB, you type the following into google:
site:http://pacumenispages.yuku.com + sr1030
It will not provide all of his posts because he was one of the many who didn't re-register when the site switched to yuku, so the only posts which will show up on the search are ones in which either he signed his post "sr1030" or other posters referred to him as sr1030. I remember him fairly well and he definitely was mild-mannered. There's not a single thing that makes him sound like Scratch. In fact, if he is Scratch, I bow to his incredible writing skills, because he, unlike the rest of us mere human beings, can completely alter his style of writing, and maintain that alteration for years.
by the way, I do believe scratch is a very gifted writer and extremely intelligent, but I don't believe even he could do that. In other words, sr1030 being scratch is a frankly bizarre suggestion.

Ms. Jersey Girl,
Thank you for posting that quote. I think it is painfully obvious who JUSTTT is now here, particularly from the tone and prose style you quoted. However, for fear of violating a rule (I don't want to study, analyze or debate the merits of rules before I dare make a post), I'll just leave it that I consider it to be over the top obvious.
Regards,
Spider.
