Whereabouts of Turboniun
« on: December 22, 2013, 03:25:07 PM »
I was reading a moon hoax thread at Above Top Secret from early 2013 where a poster was engaging with Turboniun and accused him of being an alter ego of Fattydash/Patrick/Doctor Socks.
This got me thinking - has there been any sighting of Turboniun on the Internet since Patrick Tekeil's passing? It would be ironic if two of the most notorious moon hoax trolls of all time were actually one and the same.

Ironic perhaps, but not surprising.
If you're not a scientist but you think you've destroyed the foundation of a vast scientific edifice with 10 minutes of Googling, you might want to consider the possibility that you're wrong.

Never mind. I see that Turbonium is alive and well and still spewing his nonsense at ATS.

His posting style didn't match Patrick's, anyway.

Ah, that might explain his absence from Unexplained Mysteries, where he was flying the Moon Hoax banner pretty much alone.

How odd.  His absence from Unexplained Mysteries, was itself an unexplained mystery!
