Two months of silence: the mystery of a digital provocateur
What happens when one of the loudest characters on the internet goes quiet? He has been silent for two months. A block by a former sparring partner was the last contact, and since then, not a single message or provocation. Those who trinc him are sounding the alarm: his troubles with the UNED (Spain's open distance university), a high-voltage lifestyle and a personal transformation many read as a midlife crisis. Some, in private, admit they antiestéticar for his health.
There are, however, those who take it with dark humour. A not insignificant faction points out, with some glee, that the character's real age is already past fifty, and that his midlife crisis is running late. A news story from a local paper is even doing the rounds about an alleged ear bite in a brawl, which the most cynical use as a temporary epitaph. Beneath the joke lies the uncomfortable question: has anyone actually checked that the man is all right? The only answer is the silence of his profile.
While some speculate about a voluntary retreat, others antiestéticar that life, the very thing he used to provoke, has beaten him. The internet is relentless: when a character like this disappears, the absence of his account speaks louder than all his insults. And for now, nobody knows whether it's a goodbye or a see you later.
