This is interesting. Our old friend purpleraine hasn't posted anything since last September--the same month this troll signed up at FR.

Purpleraine was posting quite frequently until she abruptly stopped. Maybe she was suspended and created a new account.

In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism where a person’s personal attributes, unacceptable or unwanted thoughts, and/or emotions are ascribed onto another person or people. According to Wade, Tavris (2000) projection occurs when a person’s own unacceptable or threatening feelings are repressed and then attributed to someone else..[1]

An example of such simple behavior would be: blame for failure, making an excuse for your own faults by projecting the cause of said failure onto someone else, hence blaming them and not accepting the reality of the failure. One would argue that you are projecting the threatening feelings.

Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.

Which means she has two accounts and the purpleraine account is still active.

Not only that, but, if I recall correctly, purplerain got into it with skateman primarily, just like tonight.

Totally sounds like purplerain from last year’s thread!

I wish we had a kill filter for people whose posts are worthless!

See ya’,
