Sir82-"Trevorgate"
There was a long time
poster here named Trevor who made post after post about his wife who was
dying of a terminal illness, There was a lot of emotional investment by
a lot of posters. Some even went so far, I believe, to send him money
for something or other (medical treatments?).
Her condition
improved, then went down, then up, then down, and so on. One day finally
the wife died, and the board went into mourning.
Soon thereafter,
Trevor admitted it was all some sort of bizarre twisted joke. There was
no wife, no illness, no nothing - he just made it up and played it out.
Not only that, he kind of posted the reveal as a "you all are a bunch
of idiotic suckers for believing it" post.
I think it stretched over years.
It was even worse than that. The fake wife was a new poster, (with her own identity on the board). She was a recent learner of the TTATT, hooked up with Trevor, they married, then yet another 3rd fake person was also added to the mix, (with her own identity on the board). She too learned TTATT, then the fake wife became sick, in and out of the hospital, then died.
If I remember correctly, Nathan Natas somehow figured out that the whole thing was BS, and called Trevor on it. He took a lot of flack for this at first, by those who were sympathetic to the fake wife. Soon the whole thing was uncovered and Nathan was vindicated. Very, very, ugly, and many were emotionally attached to the whole thing. I am not that much of a touchy feely guy, and I stayed away from here for months because of it.
