Not only that, Jay.. But they are very manipulative with the characters, as well.
Personally, I think Walt/Tony/Whoever KNEW this would get posted.. It was basically confirmed i another thread that Walt had multiple accounts, so this is probably Walt's attempt at a final "hurrah".
He knows this will create a firestorm thread, and right now he's sitting back watching this thread closely.
Heck, I'll play along.
Whenever someone starts acting nutty, (Walt/DCP/Woim) I NEVER take them at face value. You are right.. People like the freedom of the internet to create a whole new character..
I read a lot of fiction, and I will say this: Walt has a little bit of talent at creating totally different characters, and for the most part, stayng in character. I would not be surprised if was The Woim as well.
Some of these characters have required a bit of intelligence to pull off, actually, from a writer's perspective. The Woim? It's not the easiest thing to continuously write in the third person and pull it off.
I don't like him using it in order to piss people off, however. if you want to make up multiple characters and have them interact with each other and other people on the board, then fine. Don't use it to create discord, though.
