Shrokk isn't "essentially" a gimmick. He is the online persona of a rather intelligent and caring individual that prefers the anonymity of Shrokk. Not everyone is as carefree and open about their identity online for a variety of good reasons. Dual personalities will likely become more common in the coming years as society continues to use a digital medium for communication and socializing.

I know that online, I'm nothing at all like myself offline. I've taken some personality tests (real ones, not the online crap) and I'm INTP. Pretty shy around people I don't know, but a lot more relaxed around those I do. Except online. I have no problems chatting with strangers online about any ol' thing. Am I a gimmick too? Because I "speak" differently online than I do in the real world? I'm definitely not this verbose in person.

I didn't say anything about cliques at all. You're inferring something that just isn't there. The bias comment was simply pointing out that decisions shouldn't be made based on personal feelings and the complaints of a few people. All opinions should be taken into account and then the situation judged fairly. There was no public discussion about it and I think that's why some, maybe a lot, of the people here expressing support for Shrokk were unhappy about it. The way it was handled. *shrugs*
