Journal Surak's Journal: ($$$$exyGal == ekrout) No doubt. 21
From an AC on ASG's journal:
Alright, I'm a heavy duty $$$$exyGal troller....
I have to admit, I'm pretty confused. I still believe that $$$$exyGal is ekrout. Eric Krout is egotistical and conceited enough to go to such lengths fake being a girl.
The reason I continue to believe so is....why would Ekrout, a conceited person, who did so well fan whoring, suddenly and abruptly stop posting to slashdot. Slashdotters don't die...they just fade away. Especially Ekrout, who has such a low slashdot number, and who previously mentioned how much he has loved reading slashdot over the past 4 years. It also just seems odd that around the time Ekrout stopped, $$$$$exyGal started.
On top of that, they both compare the # of fans in an eerily same manner. The only three fan whorers on slashdot are Slashchick (who didn't really mean to fan whore...that's just how she is), Ekrout, and $$$$$exyGal. But Ekrouts and $$$$$exyGals comments, sigs, and fan whoring are nothing like Slashchicks. Also both Ekrout and $$$$exyGal use similar grammer structure, smilie faces, etc. (again, nothing like Slashchicks).
Now the creepiest part of all is how much $$$$exyGal talks about geeky guy subjects. I mean, what kind of a girl would write this!? [slashdot.org]. Carrying 24 inch monitors under their arms? Talk of Data on Star Trek? Lots of talk about muscles? This sure doesn't sound like a small-framed girl.
As for the proof that $$$$exyGal is a girl. Unfortunately, Anti$$$exy didn't ask any questions to prove she's not an actor. Somelike like, "Quick, tell me the pseudocode for writing a C++ program to display 'Hello world' 100 times. Also, what libraries are needed." Or "Give me the syntax for creating a web link." Or even, "Tell me some of the most common trolling reply's you've gotten..and what people have done them". No actor would be able to pull all those off.
So...I'm left with really no evidence still. And to be honest, there really isn't many ways to prove this. The only way I can think is to have $$$$exyGal record herself for about 10 minutes while rattling on about all her computer/geek knowledge, especially going off on tangents. Then, she could put that on a webpage for everyone to see.
All in all I have to agree. These are the reasons leading me to believe that $$$$exyGal is ekrout, and what made me change my sig line in the first place.
The only thing I would add to the AC's comments is this --
I think if SG really did prove to this "ASG" via videoconferencing that SG is female, then if she wants serious credibility, then "she" should probably prove to at least three or more of the people "she" lists on "her" fans chart
$$$$exyGal: if you do this, I will remove my sig line. Until then, I'm leaving my sig line as it stands in protest, because I still really do believe you are ekrout.

(Esp. not since there are other $$$$exy user accounts on Slashdot, at least one of which refers to 'discrimination against transgendered people'.)

I will send $$$$exyGal a $100 gift certificate for barnesandnoble.com (a perfect "plum" for any geek, to steal a term from CmdrTaco) to $$$$exyGal if "she" can just prove who "she" is to three people.
But ekrout can't prove that he's a girl because he's ekrout.
I can prove who I am who really wants it, but can $$$$exyGal? Nope.
I'm convinced. (Score:1)
