In a stunning expose of brilliant (albeit blatently obvious) journalism, The_Fire_Horse reveals (by following friend-fans lists) the secret identities of several gay trolls each pretending to be independant.

Each of these lame troll accounts have only a few freinds/fans and are obvoiusly the same person.

I invite this FUCKHEAD (whoever she is, to stop teasing me - the wrath of the firehorse is nothing to be sneezed at!!!1!1@2!

I started this account 'firehorsey' because my primary account The_Fire_Horse only lets me post twice a day due to bad karma, yet I have things to say!
