Not much to it, really. Banned critter from way back that had people claiming to be him for giggles, eventually the "We're all Pathos" thing decided to get stuck. The rest is pointless details and history. Just a joke, say I to me to pathos to me to I.

Sock puppeting is the big thing associated with Pathos, to the point where it's impossible to say for sure if anyone isn't actually Pathos.

Done.

I'll see you in court! I'll start off with damages in roughly the 50 cents range, but the judges may ultimately impose punitive damages in the realm of over $2.50! That'll show you to be prolific!

Case eventually dismissed when it's discovered that both parties are actually Pathos. An entertaining blog post is eventually written and placed at   https://loweringthebar.net/category/autolitigation

Pathos is love, Pathos is life, Pathos is a guy who got banned for among other things posting about his fetishes.

Wasn't there also something about there being(/not being/being Pathos) Pathos' girlfriend? Or am I mixing this with Nikov's wife?
