| One of Chris's reactions to the campaign. | ||
It was May 2012, with Chris’s impending trial of 28 October 2011 coming up soon, a few users of the CWCki Forums joked among themselves about starting a poster and flyer campaign to get Chris convicted on 2 June 2012. As Chris often browses the forum obsessively, he thinks that this campaign is actually TRUE and HONEST, leading to hilarious Twitter and Facebook posts as he believed that he had just discovered a major troll plot.
Chris's reaction to the campaign is an example of both Chris's naïveté. As Chris actually thought of this as "VERY SERIOUS", he posted to his friends about this, expecting them to handle this situation.

After seeing the posts on the forum, in classic Chris form, all Chris could think do was go on to Facebook and Twitter and scream at his friends to go do something about it. Of course, no one in the right mind would go outside just to take the effort of removing every single anti-CWC posters in Charlottesville.
After 3 days of his friends not responding at all to his posts, Chris then posted:
| “ | I Truly, Really, Greatly, from Past Experiences included, HATE Graduation Day! l:( Why is anyone NOT responding or Caring of the Hate Poster Campaign? This is VERY SERIOUS, People!

Chris began to panic even more when obviously photoshopped pictures began to appear on the Cwcki forums of anti-CWC posters. Chris was utterly convinced they were real. Chris posted screencaps of the supposed posters and wanted people to go the location to confirm they were real though Chris had already decided the entire thing was. Even his favorite enabler Anna could not convince him the whole thing was a joke. Any time she said they were fake Chris said something to the effect of “prove it”. The irony is that Chris was posting pictures of the supposed posters he wanted nobody to see on his own Facebook proving once and for all nobody trolls Chris more than Chris himself. Unsurprisingly Chris decided the Game Place must be behind the plot. He demanded his “friends” go there and find out any info they can from Micheal Snyder and his “cronies” and search for any CWC posters they may have. Because it makes total sense that Michael Snyder would decorate his store with pictures of someone he wants nothing to do with. He was adamant that they not mention him AT ALL. Perhaps in a rare moment of common sense Chris realized that sending people to harass someone who has a pending court case against him was not a good idea.
“T” Day
On the day the trolls joked they would begin their campaign Chris posted that he was hiding in his house and was keeping an eye on the local news because anything to do with Chris is big news. He once again demanded everyone go out and tear down any anti-CWC posters and “arrest” those responsible. He warned people to be on the lookout for pickle suited trolls. Chris also seems to think the trolls carry weapons for some reason. He also believed the trolls would actually pay money to hire a sky writer. Chris’s posts that day shifted from him wanting people to take down the trolls to whining about how nobody cares about him even if he was dead. Anna once again tried to explain to Chris it was fake but Chris refused to listen unless she had “intel” to offer him.
Aftermath
2 days later Chris posted a bizarre public note on facebook titled “to the trolls.” He begrudgingly admitted he had been fooled again, again. Chris stated he at some point during the whole fiasco he had called the Police. In a pathetic attempt to sound superior and tech savvy to the cwcki forums he claimed he was reading the posts through a certain users account. In other words he searched someone’s post history. Chris lashed out at the forums for not following through on their threats and called them “lying, cheating bastards” and he was growing tired of their “shit lies.” This definitively shows that while Chris may not be as visible as he once was he is still as gullible and paranoid as ever and that it is possible to troll Chris without even intending to troll him.
