The blue saddle did indeed appear in the original Barisone threads, but it has its own login, so it is unclear as to who officially owns it. The account is not private, so do filter the thread to get the whole blue saddle experience.
I tried to find the thread that I was thinking of: a woman came to COTH to complain about not being given a pony advertised as free. It became a saga. I cannot find it, but I no longer can find anything on this site. Sorry.
Those movies in your head can frequently lead you down the wrong path.
I will say, that if a person does not post enough posts they will not show up in the posters list at the bottom of the first post.
(but maybe you scanned thru the whole thread that quickly.)
Not exactly. But the Blue Saddle did start the Princess Bride reference. So, it does seem that they hit a nerve with JK/IM. Hell, they also seemed to have pegged the Amber Heard thing too….
The IM account goes back to April, 2020, and the first DPR post, announced as such by the system, is in October 2021, immediately following a spate of posts by IM. Whoever created the DPR account, it does appear to be created in reaction to IM, not the reverse.
I asked if you had an alter, which is not an accusation of violating the forum rules. Indeed, I did think you were DPR. As someone else speculated, the basis for my thinking you were DPR is because I thought the posts by DPR were extremely clever, and you came to mind as someone articulate and creative enough to have written them.
You could take my mistakenly crediting you with writing the DPR posts as a compliment, but if you’re offended, I apologize.
The point is, who cares? You attacked FitzE for no reason and have only apologized because the moderator put your accusation to rest. Why does it make a difference who DPR or The Blue Saddle is? They entertain and hit appropriate nerves of those involved.
