The thing is, not being afraid of the Operator doesn't make you in cahoots with him. Tim/TTA/Masky seems a little off his rocker, which could be one reason he isn't apparently scared of the Operator -- he had the terror crazied out of him already. Or he could know how to deal with the Operator to some degree, and having a modicum of control can take a great deal of the terror of something away.

There's a theory out there that TTA was trying to scare Jay away from investigating the Operator further rather than trying to harm him, because Jay never really comes to any physical, literal harm in the series. The Operator's reasons for doing what he does are unknowable, really, so the defense that TTA never hurt or killed Jay doesn't admittedly stand up to scrutiny, but his actions cannot be taken as proof that he's working for the baddie either. A lot of TTA's actions DO seem to be taunting Jay, but those serve another purpose -- to warn and illustrate how helpless Jay really is, and maybe whip him into shape and make himself more secure, or scare him away entirely (STAY HOME/BE ALONE taunting him about thinking that either of those actions would be at all helpful, for example). That could be interpreted as helpful -- sadistic, but ultimately helpful.

Pretty much what I was going to say about it!

There's also the matter of taking all of the responses and stuff into context chronologically. 'Warning' was posted when Jay was telling us that, fuck it, he was done with everything and was just going to hole up in his room to wait it out. #24 happened afterwards by about a couple of weeks. 'Warning' seemed more predictive to me -- like JKat says, TTA's being a sadistic muchtart, but in the end he seems to be goading and guiding Jay to a goal...

It's whether or not that goal winds up being in the Operator's belly that's throwing the lot of us, I guess. :\

I want to know any "exceptions" or "anomalies" to the main 4 groups.

Seconding this. The fighter persona isn't particularly rare, either.

Evan's a famous example, though.
