In case you haven't figured it out yet, the point where everything went wrong for you was when you read the comments section on NJ.com.
Agree with you 4Real. Unfortunately some people do read and actually believe the junk this guy posts.
He has to be paid. No one has that much time on their hands.
Scarletknightpride is his lackey.

You would be surprised at the individuals with personality disorders who haunt the Rutgers forums on nj.com. Some of them have many ID's which they use to create whole conversations bashing Rutgers at every turn. That place is a cesspool which is why I stopped frequenting it years ago.
...I seriously laughed out loud at this; definitely in the running for post of the week.

Months ago it was revealed that they pay some people to troll in order to generate anger, leading to clicks. If you fall for it, it's just good for them. Don't fall for it.
if you click on his username... the url will read something along with lines of /staff in some part of the url... when clicking other habitual trolls the same thing happens.
When clicking on normal users... /user or /member, i forget which, comes up.
It is a staff member who posts to draw clicks/page views.

This. Its a scam. If you are a normal "real" person posting there to argue with some idiot, you have been scammed. The end. Don't fall for it.
He's a NJ Advance Media staff member.
NJ.com's sole purpose is to sell advertising dollars.
Every click helps them do so.

Appears that in today's world
"TROLL" can be both an occupation and a mental health diagnosis!

Please see the posts between this and my reply. There was a long thread about this a few months ago on this site after someone did their "investigation." Bottom line, just ignore the comment sections in media sites because anything inflammatory is likely either the writer of the article themselves or interns trying to create arguments - and clicks.
Those "posters" in those comments section are like guys from Nigeria calling to say the won the lottery but need a few thousand dollars of yours to access it.
This guy has to be paid. It's somewhat unbelievable. I agree with OP. He is incredibly annoying. I've posted in several articles to delete some of his stuff and my post gets deleted every time. As much as I hate to discuss this, he's extremely annoying and does nothing but drive real fans away.
Fwiw: I wrote the powers that be there at SL and NJAM a week or two back after someone on there mentioned that he was part of the staff. I got two relies back emphatically saying he was not an employee. There have been times however where it has appeared that he had some administrative capabilities.
and you made his day by creating a thread about him. The other people on there are Syracuse fans. 99% of the comments are just there to flame.
100% certain the username had /staff in its name at one point. Multiple users called it out, must of changed it when it became to obvious.
Sadly, in the early-to-mid 2000's, there were a couple of Rutgers athletes/alums who used to post there and rip the football program. They obviously played in non-revenue sports (one was on the baseball team) and were insanely jealous that football got all of the resources it did. What a set of pathetic tools there were.
It's obvious he's on their payroll otherwise he either would have been banned or fired from his real job (if he's capable of maintaining one) since he's on there 24/7. They have a moderator yet this guy is allowed to hijack every thread and ruin any reasonable attempt people make to have a civil discussion on that board as ill advised as that may be..
