No, I am not remotely confused over who Spartan is/was. Look, I have been on this site from the very beginning when Patrick was the person that posted at least half of all the posts on this site. I have the moniker Swake2 only because I left years ago for quite a while and killed my user account because there was a period where where several posters, such as the former Mr Anderson, made the whole site into a pretty racist and very homophobic place, it was really ugly and I left for a time.

Spartan was young, I think in high school, and he attempted to hide it. He's had other monikers too, but his most common one on several sites including TulsaNow was Sooner and Rice Grad or some variant there of. His personality today on this site is very different from how he used to be here, and is very different from how he is on other sites. He was/is bombastic, sarcastic and a big time flame thrower who often place very lose with facts and who delights in starting online battles over crap. This is still true, he's just recently been banned from Skyscrapercity. It's a site I really don't post on, but that I read from time to time. I don't know what specifically got him banned there, but he was a constant jerk on that site and it doesn't surprise me.

At one point when he and Midtowner were banned from here he started his own competitive site, I think it was called Oktalk or something like that. He even asked me at one point to be a moderator on the site but I declined. I could not stand that site, it was very much all about his ego and his desire to constantly flame bait so I would regularly take him down a notch, facts were not, and still often are not his friend.

He and I go way back in an online sense, I am the one that outed him on TulsaNow for not being a Sooner and Rice grad, which he had long claimed, and for not being a mental health professional. But that was a years ago. He has grown up since, but only somewhat.
