I suppose the timing of his/her joining the forum could be suspect, but everyone had to join sometime. It's not unreasonable to think Gaudreauvertime has been reading the forum for a while and finally decided to join when he/she felt they had something to contribute.
Gaudreauvertime has a penchant for hyperbole and victimization. However, it's ludicrous for us to suggest he/she is someone working in the agents office simply trying to "stir the pot".
It seems much more likely that Gaudreauvertime is simply a younger person that really like Johnny Gaudreau. His/her posts have a juvenile quality to them that lacks nuance. I don't say this to shame Gaudreauvertime or speak disparagingly; all of us were young once. I've written some horrendous posts on forums myself throughout the years.
Writing a post that you believe to be clearly articulated and well thought out, only to have others react completely contrary to what you thought you said, is all part of learning to be a better writer. Gaudreauvertime will get there eventually, assuming they stick around long enough to do so.
