Some speculated he was a security guard or some such job where he had a lot of free time to shit post while working but while that might explain the free time to make that amount of posts that still doesn’t explain the desire or motivation to produce that volume of posts thereby making your conclusion quite logical.
Leonard seemed to match his back story which was that of someone working in Hospitals but more concerned with the upkeep of facilities, signage, tarmac'ed surfaces rather than medical equipment or actual medicine.
Probably took early retirement which is available for some civil service jobs in Oz.
That would explain his early Covid posts which, at that time, were just your basic anti-contamination hospital health and safety advice.
Said that he had a Colombiana wife who was on his wave length, but not that much to look at.
Ive been in other forums with other disaffected RVF members who didn't like the changes.
In RVF 1.0 Leonard wouldn't have had any status regardless of how much sense he talked on facility management or the nature of woman or the nature of socialism.
Probably High Status was more easy to come by for people like Fisto, who I never really spoke to, who was a Mixed Martial Artist going round SE Asia with other forum members "collecting flags".
Fugitive Members in other forums would blame the change from Hedonistic RVF to Political RCF on Leonard, Simeon Strangelight and 9-11 with Leonard being the worst miscreant.
Simeon also posted at an incredible rate and volume - BUT Simeon actually did meetups, and the meet up reports would say that he wasn't about to break any hearts, that he had some sort of disability and a walking stick IIRC?, but very friendly and positive in person.
Simeon also got banned a few times - lol.
The Refugee RVF'ers wanted to find Leonard and actually discovered a website reference. basically Leonard had let on that he lived in Tasmania (smallish population) and someone actually found a specific local newspaper publishing its letters page with a letter from Leonard Neubache (local resident) about some local matter, mentioning his foreign wife I think.
Straight away people wanted to put together a "posse" and go to Tasmania and somehow find and doorstep Leonard.
Others, including me, told them to get a life.
Leonard posted as a full time job. Whether he was being paid or whether he was an early retiree, happy in his study, posting away all day long - I do not know.
Simeon also posted at a ferocious rate but - as probably fits a vetted real person - he only did it in spurts.
There are people on here now who post at a frightening rate - but having said that maybe they are just at a loose end and living life through their screens as so many people do these days.
Some people have been posting at a pretty fierce tempo - which does not fit their back story at all. But good luck to them. If you post at a full time worker volume you can definitely start to guide the thinking of a forum and pass yourself off as a "senior member" in reduced time.
However, people aren't stupid and pretty soon start 'noticing' things and asking questions.
If not in public, certainly in private - and are unlikely to be as easily guilded into a way of thinking once they have begun to harbour doubts about certain posters.
