That's pretty much my thoughts about this.
 
Whats his deal with old technology?

Is he anal retentive and can't adapt? Or is it part of his 1997 thing?

Compared to him, he thinks we have "tiny, backwards brains". And then he needs a "geek" from tech support to help him use a CD-burner he purchased with a relatively recent version of Windows.

Before that, he was obsessed with using the computers that are (or at least were) at ASU**, that had both CD burners and floppy drives. Sweet complained that the progressives at ASU were keeping him out of their "precious state-of-the-art" computer lab, and that ASU needed to out the progressives and let him back in (even though he's not a student there anymore). This was because, apparently, he has thousands of pages of the crappy comic* he makes with an old Windows 98 system, that has a floppy disk drive and apparently predates CD-R (and possibly USB also). So, he wants to transfer the comics to CD-Rs that can be read on a more recent system he uses. At one point, he was using Hotmail to transfer, but according to Sweet, Hotmail ceased to "honor" Windows 98, and Sweet complained about that, thinking that the "door would always be open".

Once you read more of the thread, you'll see that Sweet has an apparent "nobody told me" attitude. Sweet thought Thunderbird (an email application) was a cheap liquor, for example.

*The comic, Belch Dimension, is a barely legible (to downright illegible) mess filled with blatant obvious racism and a self insert (who wears a cape and Sweet's equivelant of CWC's "classic" shirt - a cap full of novelty pins and buttons). Sweet thinks that conservatives love Belch Dimension, and that people who don't like it and criticize it are all liberals trying to "roadblock" him, apparently. Sweet can probably read the comics as clear as day, and probably thinks that those who can't read the clutter are "idiots". When called out on the obvious racism in the comics, Sweet falls back on excuses - ones like "we're all oversensitive liberals", and that "kids today just don't get vintage cartoon humor" and other bull. For example, there's a town called "[j-word] Junction" in the comics, and Sweet's excuse for that is that he "grew up in a bad neighborhood".

**Arkansas State University, or "AS(S)U" as Sweet sometimes childishly calls it. Sweet's alma mater.

The more I read, the more of what you wrote is apparent. @ToroidalBoat Do think sweet has schizophrenic tendencies? He seems to be consistently paranoid and delusional.

I'm not really familiar with schizophrenia, but I think that's been speculated. I believe one of the symptoms is seeing patterns and conspiracies that aren't there.

I've had a few friends with schizophrenia. They're relatively ok but during difficult periods they genuinely act like sweet does- pathologically dodge responsibility, say our group was conspiring against them in some way and show baffling hypocrisy. The only thing sweet might be missing is hallucinations, but maybe he doesn't talk about that.

Also, you quoted the entire post? I don't mind that though

Do we have any recordings of Sweetums' voice? I was wanting to read some of his stuff for the "Voices of Spergatory" thread, but without anything to go off of, the best I can come up with is a raspy, more nasal version of Chris.

The voice they used on his This Troper episodes was pretty funny.
 
Any time Jon starts a post with, "I think everyone's missing the point," prepare for a bunch of crazy talk.
 
The longest I can recall Sweet not responding after we Kiwi villains showed up was eight days. Granted, that was the only time I was looking at the AJM site, so I don't know if his long silences there are common. I think Francis has a point. See, if you look at his profile, you can see that he logs in, he just doesn't post, which implies to me that, while it's possible he cannot post, most likely he's keeping his head down, trying to wait us out.

I also like to think that he's realized that no one has really publicly supported him. The recent news thread decried the War of Kiwi Aggression, but said nothing encouraging Sweet. It may well be that he's communicating with someone privately, but the only people who've been responding to him publicly have been Treenbeen, Trollis, and us scoundrels.
 
Missed this from his DA account: This just in, Belch thinks pies are threatening.
Well, I was right. The Koalas were very displeased about this cartoon. Their ultimate conclusion is that Greer is being perfectly reasonable, and the anonymous pie-thrower is "irrational" and a "douche" However, one could argue he chose to express a very unpopular opinion in a comic written by a right-wing artist, and he took his chances. Or, you know, remind these people that this didn't actually happen.

The gag was based on an actual incident in which FOX chair Rupert Murdoch had a shaving-cream pie thrown in his face during a televised news conference (July 2011). Similar attacks have been conducted against other people such as Ann Coulter, William F. Buckley, and Bill Gates. Of course, the progressives finds that fun and cute and considers these attackers just a bunch of concerned citizens. They're heroes to the left. But do it to one of theirs-- or, you know, just draw a picture of it-- and they want you dead. And these people are the most loving, compassionate, and intelligent among us? Pffft.

Whether you're a fan of Murdoch or not, this is a criminal assault. The pie-thrower, an activist and part-time standup comic calling himself "Johnnie Marbles", was summarily arrested and sentenced to six weeks in jail for the prank. I do hope his cellmates Rock and Bubba had fun playing with Marbles.

He seriously thinks we assumed the pie throwing was an actual event.

Also, isn't Bill Gates politically unaligned?
