In terms of atari2006ology:
I think Mr.2006 uses pseudonyms to create new ataris...ataris with their own personality...maybe extroverted ataris...stupid ataris who want to join your society and be friendly with humans...ataris with no life....ataris interested in interesting things that interest most of you humans....who knows. Through all these years studying this kind of humans, I used to think he was using heteronyms, because maybe Intellivision is a completely new character/individual that has nothing to do with Mr.2006...but heteronyms are only used by poets, so is kinda hard to tell, but anyway
they all are modern trolls.

I'm
lead to believe you might be right about heteronymy. Perhaps
metonymy is what you mean?
In either case, 'modern' vs 'antiquated' trolls makes no difference. It's all the same bored time-wasting that is the driving force behind messageboards. Any such criticism applies as much to myself as anyone else, of course.
