Assuming AspieDannie is for real, I wonder what you take as misguided in his self expression? Or do you really mean, in his own conduct as he relates the tale? -In other words, his clueless naivety...
In any case, trollery or cyber-Munchhausen, however juvenile, can be a real menace on a forum of vulnerability and sympathy. A real parody should have some sharper and mor revealing ironic thrust then just cruel mockery at the expense of the disadvantaged or playing upon the synpathies of the mark. Neverhteless, we mustn't be too judgmental, as just such antisocial bullying may be the poor confused unfortunate's only way of reaching out!
And why did I revive this back post topic to begin with? - you ask... Well, actually, just insomnia.
