I was sent a link to that Musky screenshot because Comatoast thought it was real, but wanted my opinion on it. I didn't see Musky post about it, but I agree anyone could have thought one of these fakes were real if they weren't familiar with inspect.

By the way, here is bobby over there: https://poal.co/u/bobbobbybob/comments

I asked about that screenshot and he/she professed no knowledge.

The only reason I know about it is because I use the devpane a lot to debug websites. (Usually just to catch errors and constantly clear the cache.) It's understandable normies like Musky and Toast (now under some other username) would take them at face value.

That link just sends me to a login page, but considering how Bob doesn't know about it — and has no reason to lie — I think it's safe to say it came from someone else.

Musky was kind of a lefty, in my impression, but if you can talk to M7 about whether banning over posting a faked screenshot from the troll he might have thought real is the best decision. I don't think Musky was out to cause harm, although I haven't seen that specific post. It's like we're in one of those movies where the killer (the troll) uses trickery to take us out one by one.

I'm with you on this idea of picking off the real accounts.
