The bloke is a spaz who's clearly on a wind up, his "articles" are really funny.

Yep, he's a pathetic attention seeker on the wind-up to try and get hits on his crap website. I stopped bothering a long time ago.

He is clearly just an intelligent guy who has realised that the way to get hits is to be as outrageous as possible, using sub-par spelling and grammar and having contrary views.

In all seriousness, my guess would be that in reality he is a very competent but ultimately ordinary writer who has worked out that adopting this persona will do better for him in the end. How else can you explain his views being so grossly wide of the mark ALL THE TIME and his deliberate antagonism of people? Using an alias makes the story complete.

In any case, it's worked for him.

"Scott Gilfoid" does not exist.

It's just a pen name of David Rosenberg, who owns ESB and boxingnews24.
