The Celtics have had a bit of drama the last couple days so building on the theme of my
last episode (where I buried the hatchet with my "nemesis" Eddie20), I decided to call up Reddit user BigAustralianBoat to see if we could resolve our differences and make peace. "BAB" previously earned a temporary suspension from Reddit for saying he'd be happy if I killed myself - and I strongly suspect he's actually an alternative username of someone from my past (he's only had his account for 3 months) - so I set out to solve the mystery of his true identity and find some closure to our internet beef.
Admittedly, a large chunk of this discussion is dedicated to talking about my experience participating in Celtic internet culture dating back to 1997. Experiences on sites like ESPN, CelticsBlog, RealGM, Reddit, etc. I bring up prior disagreements I had with former legends of this forum like BballTim, and try to get to the root of why some people find me so "divisive". Ultimately, my goal was to try to make peace with this guy in the same way I previously did with Eddie20. Honestly I really enjoyed this chat. Part of the premise of this "Strangers" podcast is to see how different interactions are outside the anonymity of internet chat... but if Celtic forum internet drama isn't your thing, I suggest skipping to the 34:08 mark where we transition into a more standard Celtic discussion.
