Profile: GarfieldLover (User)

GarfieldLover_, also known as Garfield Lover, was a GoComics user who started commenting on July 21st, 2019. Information about this user is very limited due to the short period of activity on the Big Nate by Lincoln Pierce Comment Section. GarfieldLover_ was known to make opinionated posts which promoted the Garfield strip by Jim Davis. Such posts were met with massive attention, which, in one of his most infamous comments, managed to scrap an astounding 110 replies, making it one of the most replied comments before deleted by GoComics moderators. He is not known to be on the Big Nate Comment Section Wiki or on any other known platform.

First Appearance
GarfieldLover_ first appeared on the Big Nate Comment Section on July 21st, 2019, when he/she made a comment which promoted the Garfield strip by Jim Davis and disapproved the Big Nate strip. This comment was met with dislike from nearly every commenter on the Big Nate Comment Section and received large amounts of attention, making it the 3rd most replied comment of record before it was deleted. The comment received 1 like, and within the replies 18 of them were from GarfieldLover_ himself.

Response
The commenters on the Big Nate Comment Section strongly disliked GarfieldLover_ 's comment as it insulted the Big Nate comic strip, the comic strip which they read. At the start users like carson yt responded by saying that every person has their own opinion but after approximately 60 replies the replies turned to people commenting that GarfieldLover_ was simply looking for attention. This would later be one of the most widely accepted reasons of why GarfieldLover_ committed such actions.

.

Subsequent Appearance
On July 22nd, 2019, GarfieldLover_ made him second appearance, making a comment on the Big Nate Comment Section which explained who Garfield was and who his family was. This comment also advertised the Garfield strip and was met with, again, large amounts of attention. However, the comment received less than 50% of the amount of attention it had received last time. (38 replies)===

Response
In an attempt to remove GarfieldLover_ from the featured comment, Pig Lover  made a spam comment which peaked at 50 replies, 46 of them which were made by Pig Lover himself. Using the concept that he couldn't receive any consequences if the comment didn't receive publicity, he managed to prevent GarfieldLover_'s comment from being featured until GoComics moderators banned GarfieldLover_. He then later deleted his comment.

Ban
It was confirmed on July 23rd, 2019, that GarfieldLover_ was banned by GoComics moderators.

Possible reasons for such actions
GarfieldLover_ 's unexplained actions have prompted users to wonder why he/she decided to do such actions. Below are some possible rumours.

Attention seeker [Widely accepted reason]
If this was the plan, then it was definitely a successful operation, as GarfieldLover_ may have been keen on getting the attention of many people on the Big Nate Comment Section.

Jim Davis in disguise
Although this explanation has been met with much doubt, it is possible, as suggested by the user jless, that GarfieldLover_ is the creation of a stunt made by Jim Davis to pull Big Nate fans to Garfield.

In popular culture
The brief exchange of comments between GarfieldLover_ and the users of the Big Nate Comment Section has been dubbed the Garfield Conflict (first introduced by SuperTalker101), later adopted by others.
