Kitsune/FoxSpiritShadow used to post as Link from the Next Generation Online forums. The Shadow, Hotarubi, Rachel, and a few various posters can tell you about it (if they remember). We chatted for a few years and he was highly secretive. Smart fellow, excellent writer, but equally deceptive. He once sent me modeling pictures of Ashton Kutcher caliming it was him, and when I called him out on it, he said he said me "representations" of him that closely resembled what he looked like in real life.
Despite that he was a nice guy. A little up in the clouds, though. I have no idea why he blew up in here like that, really. Supposedly part of some "social experiment" he was conducting. ASFIK, he did attend UCI, though. It's been a few years since I spoke to him.
