VenomFakeX?

Well, I'm not one to say I told you so but...

No. Wait. Yes I am! I told you so!

The narcissist that is VenomFangX wasn't really worth the 8 minutes I dedicated my video towards in the first place, and he definitely isn't worth another video, so I'll direct you all here instead. I was going to leave my video to speak for itself, something I think it does pretty well. However, with about 100 people (and I'm not exaggerating) asking (or in some cases, demanding) me to say something on the issue, here goes...

VenomFangX posted his 'Goodbye' video on July 16th 2008. He made a return, posting his 'VenomFangX Forever' video on July 21st 2008. That's 5 days. 5 days which we all realised he was logging onto his account continuously. His return video contains countless clips of people saying his name (including my video). That must have taken a few days to make. He posted his new video within almost the exact amount of time you would have expected it would take him to make between his leaving and his return, which is pretty good evidence, in my view, that he started searching and saving videos as soon as he left. We know we have thousands of comments (historical documentation) that he was logging into his account continuously throughout this time, as well as conclusive video proof from a number of people. The editing job on that video must have taken forever to make. And on top of that the sheer variety of clips shows us all that he was clearly searching YouTube for clips of people talking about him, my guess is from the moment he posted that 'Goodbye' video.

If he legitimately wanted to leave he must have made his decision to return extremely quickly. Too quickly. Death threats are serious. At least, he deemed them serious enough to want to leave. You do not make the decision to come back that quickly if the perceived threat is that serious. You take time, make sure the decision is right, take a break to see what it's like so you can tell if it's really worth coming back. Then, and only then, do you come back. Something isn't right with his story.

The video is clearly the work of a narcissist. Ten minutes of everyone exclaiming you is a pretty big ego boost. It is EXTREMELY self-aggrandising. It tells him people are still interested, that people seem to care. That was what I hypothesised he left to gain. I think this only supports that. It also contains hints of the martyrdom hypothesis I put forward with the beginning quote. I'm thinking this adds some good credibility to what I said.

What's interesting is that the video was not made public when he first put it up. He waited a day or two before doing that. Why? Last minute doubts, perhaps? Trying to add credibility to his original story because he knew we would catch on if he posted it so soon? I think the latter, but his ego was really not in the state where it was willing to wait and see this through. I think he got impatient and 'snapped'. He'd made the video. It was up. The ego boost was there within his grasp and a narcissist just cannot resist that sickly sweet temptation for long. And that's especially true if you're of Shawn's calibre. I know the feeling, because I can talk from my own experience how powerful that feeling is, and Shawn is much more of a narcissist than I.

I first put my video forward as a sceptical hypothesis. But I made predictions: He would make this out to portray him as some sort of martyr; He would use the attention gained to boost his hurt ego; He would come back within a few months. Those three predictions have all come true, and probably more conclusively than I ever anticipated.

Is it honestly much of a jump to say he never really planned on leaving at all?
