He has no wife, no children, and a job requiring just 20 hours a week. He doesn’t follow sports, doesn’t hang out at bars or go on many trips beyond the occasional visit to play the slots at Twin River, and isn’t involved in any organizations to speak of.
Inside the mind of the anonymous online poster – The Boston Globe
This is the portrait of a xenophobic, hyper conservative guy the Boston Globe interviews for the piece. Funny thing is, they interviewed many other commenters (a super liberal guy, a female sports fan, a guy who writes detective novels) and all of them come across as well adjusted, normal people who just happen to participate in online communities. All of them, except this guy. Coincidence, bias or an accurate descriptor for the sub group he belongs to?
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
