Like I said, don't be looking for sense in anything he says. As he did here, if he can't think of some bollocks off the top of his head to explain the previous nonsense, he'll just ignore it.
If you're asking me, and I'm not sure you are, I'll just say that most of the time I can usually make a stab at explaining why he said some crazy ass shit, based on his tedious back-story. But in this case, I am genuinely stumped. Most likely just a dumb mistake, or you would hope anyway.
Here's a thought. Other than the times we may joke about such things, I do know it has been suggested here that Tarantino is actually an WMF insider, and I've posted a thread or two with ideas as to what that could be all about. So maybe the above was Kumioko's warped half-recollection of that. Like I said, it has seemed to be the case a lot of the stuff he has been saying is simply copied from other critics, a way to mask the otherwise tedious repetition of his victim narrative, the downside always being that unlike the original poster, he is unlikely to know what it means even if he did transcribe it correctly, so he cannot explain it when asked.
I'm probably over thinking it. He probably is just crazy enough to believe WO has been taken over by James Alexander, just to annoy him. He's kinda unhinged that way. Poor guy didn't even seem to be able to absorb the tragic news that with Jalex gone from the WMF, a lot of his crazy ass posting never made any sense anymore.
