The FESTIVE WORLD of croppiedom has been DEVASTATED by the SHOCKING NEWS that online circles investigator Jack Jane is, apparently, at least according to the Crop Circles Exposed Facebook backwater, a Candian croppie you’ve never heard of. Yes, YOU READ IT HERE: someone you probably didn’t know existed has been outed as someone else you probably didn’t know existed.
But who, exactly, has outed whom?
The name of Jack Jane’s supposed real identity has been redacted, simply because The Croppie really cannot be bothered to libel someone who may have had the finger wrongly pointed at them.
From what has been published, it seems the persona has been traced by what is believed to be her IP address. It resolves in part of an extremely large conurbation, not massively far from where the alleged person lives in real life. It’s hardly ‘absolutely confirmed’ her identity.
However, what’s odd is that by sharing the story, the Crop Circle Challenge‘s Janez Ferjancic managed to out the person who runs Crop Circles Exposed. Ahhh.
Of course, the Challenge page where fake accounts are decried now has fake accounts running their mouths about the person said to be Jack Jane. All this over an accusation about an ‘internet troll’ by another ‘internet troll’. Whatever. This is quite a step down from the Daily Mail stories we were expecting to be reading about the crop circle world. Next we’ll be hearing that the Facebook poster known as Miles Challett is Charles or Nick or Terry or Trystan or Steve.
The Croppie will be back soon with the full secrets of playground skipping, hopscotch and bogey flicking. Maybe someone might give a damn about those things.
Nothing to see here. Roll on the 2020 season.
Pseudonymous profiles decrying other pseudonymous profiles for being pseudonymous. Can you spell hypocrisy, children?
Pseudonymous… That’s a very long word, Miles. I’ve… Sorry, you’ve taught me something new Steve… Sorry, Miles.
Being serious for a moment, imagine the fun and games that could have been had back in the good old days if Facebook was around. People genuinely would be outraged. Today though, nobody cares. It’s all just tittle-tattle bitchy games played as a means of petty points scoring against people with differing views to theirs. Stay in that environment long enough, surrounded only by people who are just as bitter, and it starts to take over their lives. Flattened wheat becomes much more important than it actually is. Everything gets blown out of proportion.
