Either the admins noticed, or someone could have reported him. That kind of behavior is called "spamming" and is frowned upon on most message boards.

It's not as if the idiosyncratic typing style doesn't make him stick out in the first place, but it was the same post verbatim in multiple forums.

In speaking of Mark Walhberg, he's a great John Garfield fan! We have to be currently sensible to the point that Walhberg is one of several contemporary actors, available to play Garfield in a bio film. It’s never been an easy, satisfying task to choose someone to play a mythical figure. Walhberg would certainly love to play the celebrated, legendary actor, because he can closely identify his struggling young life with that of Garfield's. But then, so has Leonardo DiCaprio, Josh Brolin, James Franco, Colin Farrell, Josh Hartnett and Casey Affleck, shown interest in a possible film about the legendary John (Julius) Garfield. There has been talk and even some planning for at least the past thirty years on a possible film biography. This has meant that about three generations of actors that have come and went, might have had a chance at portraying one of the shining, towering, symbolic figures of Method Acting.

Over the years, a few actors of the past, who might have been considered, actually feared the idea of portraying such a huge, inspiring idol to the acting profession! It’s been a very difficult haul to decide on what to do about creating a film on Garfield. Naturally, one has to consider the various complicated aspects to Garfield’s life that would both offend, as much as surprise many of the fans. It’s not so much a controversy of political views and setbacks to Garfield’s life, but issues that leave some unanswered questions. He was a man, caught in the middle of being talented, while at the same time a challenge to understand, because while he was a somewhat likeable human being, there were times he went over the deep edge; on a destructive course of irrationality to the point that didn’t make any sense. A good example was the unhealthy lifestyle he led that he knew affected the severe heart condition he carried with him. It must have been much of a torment for him to face his health issues, while at the same time keep up an imagery of normality. But then, it’s been a curse of sorts to humanity that those with special talents, seem to die young, never able to generally fit into the scheme of life. Its as if the body and soul are separated by the talent and then the reality of one's life.
