No, you guessed wrong. This is a silly game, but it does illustrate one valuable point. This happens over and over again. If you go looking for it in old threads, you'll see what I mean.
There really are at least several people who you assume to all be Karen (unless, of course, Karen is net savvy enough to mask his/her IP through a small set of proxies) But I think it's more likely that these are different people who, very likely, used to have different personalities, lexicons and logical habits. Now they don't.
You're mistaking the shared group identity for a personal identity, just like the adherants do.
I think that all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not! But I'm sick and tired of being told that I am!

Troll Control:
It's actually more of a running gag. Everyone knows there are several people posting anonymously, one of whom is Karen. At some point, it was decided that all trolls would be referred to as "Karen," both to reflect the consistencies of their viewpoints and to cause the "Karens" to constantly deny the postings. "It wasn't me, it was another anon..." etc. That's all.
Nobody takes it seriously, nor does anyone believe it's one person, but it's amusing to watch them get all riled up. It's reflective of the "programs" in that they (the Karens, like the the program kids) all get treated the same way and get "consequences" as a group, whether the consequences apply to the particular individual or not. It's just funny to watch them react exactly as the kids react under the same treatment. It shows the programs create the problem, they don't treat it.
Anyway, that's my take on it.

"This is a silly game, but it does illustrate one valuable point. This happens over and over again", according to Anti-ginger who is talking about the KarenIn Dallas foolishness
I can't see one valuable thing about adult or almost adult people behaving like simpletons by pretending that they think several people are just one, over and over and over again. Makes me squeamish about even communicating with these mental midgets
It is in fact damned annoying. Makes me check the whole thread much less frequently than I used to.

Exactly what was the value in your reading a thread about KarenInDallas in the first place. If you're looking for valuable information, surely you didn't expect to find it there, did you?
How much time do you spend looking for valuable information on the "Help! How to Give the Perfect Blowjob" thread? Aren't you a bit of a "simpleton" or a "mental midget" for doing serious research or debating on a thread called "KarenInDallas"?
