FUCK YOU, NEW JERSEY.

Meh. It's just his gimmick. I don't care. If we stop letting it get on our nerves and feeding him our annoyance, maybe he'll stop. Don't feed the troll, guys.

Also, his woodworking is impressive. He's not a fucking moron.

I think it's the frustration of watching a smart guy act dumb for applause.

It's embarrassing to watch intelligent people eat mud pies at Renn Fairs, speak in tongues, or rely on gimmicks rather than their own brains.

It's why I gave up television. 

Well, if he really wants an applause, then he needs to prove his worth.

That would involve work and a little self confidence.  Gimmicks are easier.

I didn't realize he was still posting, the whole thing gets on my nerves so while he may be posting some awesome stuff, I don't read it because it's annoying as hell.....

Just respond, if you can't make up your mind what to say then say that, but this either/or crap lost it's cuteness on the second post!

[Triple Zero]

I wonder if Either/Or Troll is going to keep up this gimmick? It's a shame because parts of his posts come off as intelligent, but the signal gets lost in the noise of the shtick. I wonder what the intent of this form of communication is? To present himself in a certain way? To breach communication norms?

I asked him several times, he just ignores the question.

My problem with it is, that for me it adds a disproportionate amount of effort for reading the entire post, with no extra gain. Maybe that's me but a really big either/or switch basically means I could have ignored 50% of the post, but I don't know which one. It's just confusing and frustrating, so I mostly ignore him. I wish he'd start talking normal though.

Maybe its just me, but even if I do read it all I can't really understand much.. The Either/OR antics don't annoy me, my eyes just kinda glaze over and he goes blurry 

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

EOT is sort of like Yatto but with more line breaks.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Also, we all have gimmicks. We all have a schtick. I think to deny that is to wear blinders that make exceptions for ourselves to do the things we proclaim to despise.

Except maybe Hirley0, who is just that far out there.

I mostly don't like EOT's posts because I don't care for either/or choices.

I don't understand E.O.T's posts 

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

You know, EOT reminds me of Yatto somewhat, who I also like for his sense of humor and ability to roll with the punches even though he's often in land. Sometimes people who fall outside of the cookie-cutter normality of thought are not so bad to have around. I get the impression that this one is a little bit crazy and/or maybe doesn't process thought the same way everyone else does. Some people seem intent on figuring out the "formula" behind its posts, but I don't think there is one. I think that sometimes one option is just ridiculous, but sometimes they're both equally serious. Sometimes they seem related, sometimes like two completely different lines of thought.

I am not normally a fan of crazy people, but I actually kind of like trying to decipher the meaning in EOT's posts. It's like a puzzle. I think it's blatantly obvious to it, when it posts, what the meaning is, and it can't understand why we don't get it.

[Captain Utopia]

It seems coherent enough when it wants to be though.  I tried deciphering a few, but came to the conclusion I was lo5'ing a troll and gave up. 

[NotPublished]

I don't think its crazy or processes thought differently.

When it wants to post serious, it will do one that is obviously fake and one with the real meaning. But if it's bored, then probably both non-serious, or just something to confuse the hell out of everyone.

Sometimes he comes out with words which I just don't understand unless I sit down and reorder his sentences. Though, to be sure I don't think E/O annoying at all.

However the E/O thing could be great for playing Devils Advocate.

I can't help but feel slightly amused when people call it out as a troll.

Look, all i'm really asking is that EOT publish his/her/its famous jello molds and ambrosia salad recipes on here. It's all I really ever wanted. If we can all just learn to let go, myself included, and really get to the heart of the matter (which is the fact that EOT really has the best recipes for hot dog, maccaroni and cheese casserole), we'll all be better off for it.

[BabylonHoruv]

Either he's a troll, and if he is he's damn good at it because I have rarely seen anyone provoke the level of response that he has been getting here.  This is a fairly troll proof board.  Or he's just really weird in which case, EOT, quit using the Either or format for a while, as a thought experiment.

[Captain Utopia]

My theory is that it's winter and we're all feeling the cabin fever - didn't the last major board troll start around this time last year?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I'm done with it.  He isn't hurting anyone.

Call me a maniac, but I think a little perspective is in order.
