Very few of the old boogeymen became the boogeyman out of choice; we just became it because of the audience giving the title to us, or a previous one handing the torch off to us.
Major exceptions: Goodrafag and The Dark Master of Paws
However, its up to us individually as the boogeyman of the season to decide what to do with the role. We can ham it up and build the myth, we can retire and hand it off, or we can become the living nightmare of a board.
No, PL is not one of the boogeymen, he is a lolcow; big difference between a boogeyman and a lolcow; lolcows don't care about the audience and the game, they are locked in their own little world of obsession and delusion. Boogeymen care about the audience and the game of messing with the audience. Both are titles given (sans the exceptions), but there's a very subtle difference.
If the audience is being retarded because they aren't able to tell the difference between a shitposter and a cow, then I'd recommend backing the heat off and handing the torch off, because there's a subtle rule of /vp/ and 4chan as a whole. "There must always be a shitposter, there must always be a boogeyman." Its one of the things that keeps the ship of hate afloat. There will always be someone to take up the role if you wish not to play it anymore.
