>As LoseThos was shared more and more by Terry he began to get feedback on his project, not all of which was positive. He also began posting in the /r/atheism sub-reddit, entering into long arguments with users which often comprised of random words or sometimes bible verses preceded with the words “God says….”.
>
>Terrys need for conflict on reddit left him making posts attacking the idea of atheism, and when no one replied he would argue with himself, but reddit was not the only place he was posting.
>
>Terry was known to post on OSDev.org, regularly posting about LoseThos and then belittling members who could not get it to run with arrogant and abusive posts which lead to many threads being closed or deleted. Around January 2009, the LoseThos account was banned.
>
>In February 2009, Terry began posting in /r/programming more frequently. As more people recognised him he began to get more people replying to his threads wanting to learn more about LoseThos as well as Terry himself.
>
>As Terry seems to have gathered more confidence to post there many users began to ask him to no longer post threads about every single update. Soon after this Terry’s account seems to have been restricted from making reddit threads in the programming sub-reddit, so Terry switched to spamming the comments fields instead.
>
>Terry also began posting on HackerNews, duplicating his posts to get more attention. Terry would also hijack many threads and attempt to turn discussion in those threads towards LoseThos. Terrys patients appears to be wearing thin at this point, when a user criticised the graphics of LoseThos Davis replied with:
>
>“You guys are all pathetic. You look at the graphics and conclude it’s not advanced…” followed by “I’m disgusted with you apes” and finishing with “You’re prolly linux cultists”.

>Terry continued to post into 2009 and as people read more and more of his content they began to notice some inconsistencies in his content.
>
>Previously Davis had claimed to have chosen 640x480 resolution because it allowed faster more responsive graphics, later on in 2009 he claimed he chose this because that is what God told him to do.
