Gratuitous Arguments by G.:
The Registrar's Report in question lists an email address for the person
'blob'. This email address does not match the email address associated
with Blob in previous Registrar's Monthly Reports (around Jan 1 2023).
Furthermore, the currently-registered blob, around the time of eir
registration, had this (summarized) conversation in Discord:
snail 05/16/2023 8:00 PM
welcome! How did you find us?
Murphy 05/16/2023 11:40 PM
Are you a mauve-colored blob, specifically?
blob (@snail) 05/17/2023 4:38 PM
just found out about nomics somehow (through a "related articles"
wikipedia thing i believe) and thought that this looked pretty cool
blob (@Murphy) 05/17/2023 4:38 PM
not specifically, no
G. 05/17/2023 4:39 PM
welcome! Murphy's message on mauve is because we had someone nicknamed
Blob many years ago, and that was an in-joke with them.
blob 05/17/2023 4:39 PM
ah, i see! i had to check my bio for a moment there, because muave is
my favorite color, and i thought it might be there xD
I think that conversation establishes, to the preponderance of evidence,
that the currently-registered blob is new to nomic, and unaware of various
in-jokes concerning the original Blob.
So I think this should be FALSE; though in particular, the disambiguation
relies on the Registrar's Report including the email address as an
annotation, so this CFJ doesn't really address who 'blob' refers to
if the name is used in other reports without the additional annotation.
I accept the caller's arguments on all points and judge FALSE.
