[MERGED] Ghost/Ghost Monkey

Ghost (also known as Ghost Monkey) is a recurring panel participant whose presence generates friction within the community. He is known primarily for rude comportment and boundary-testing behavior that has resulted in administrative intervention—most notably being moved backstage during the previous night's panel for disruptive conduct.

Ghost's appearances are characterized by a pattern of provocative engagement that tests both social norms and the tolerance of host Psyche and the broader panel community. His behavior oscillates between playful and confrontational, suggesting either a deliberate performance strategy or genuine difficulty with social calibration. When present, Ghost introduces an element of unpredictability that forces the host to manage group dynamics and address community standards around respect and conduct.

The mention of Ghost in the Monday Afternoon Hangout occurs within Psyche's broader discussion of panel management and the challenge of holding space for authentic expression while maintaining basic decorum. His removal backstage the previous night signals that even Psyche's notably permissive approach to speech and behavior has limits—Ghost crossed a threshold that warranted administrative action rather than simple correction.
