I don't kow about the rest of you, but I'm getting sick of receiving spam email from this Walter Krownwe or Juststeven, whatever name he wants to go by, regarding this forum.

I see that I'm now the target of this hate/spam email. Like I could care less.

Another poster turned in a new troll this morning. Supposedly they were to remove his posts, but he's still going.

MOD EDIT

Not sure the mods can do much about it.

Anyway, I'm supposedly getting a visit from this person in question...coming by Mexico to do me some physical violence. Laughing I guess the spam and trolls will stop when the cops nab him in front of my place.

Was it really spam or was it like a seek and destroy sort of thing? I think there was time put into sending those things to people.

I guess trolls probably worm their way into a number of sites. These guys are clearly unemployed (deservedly, in the case of Paulie) who spend their entire lives now in Internet trying to get their rocks off.

Guy - I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Cowards have a way of never following through on threats. Dime a dozen.
Unless the guy is a real nutcase with the cash to travel for illogical purposes. In which case, your new hobby is baseball which is why you carry that baseball bat with you. Good for calming down wild street dogs too. Helps the dogs see the humor of the situation. Smile

Guy. You're getting spam because you allow people to know your email address, which is very open and friendly, but can lead to problems, such as now. I don't let people see my email address, if they want to talk to me they can PM me, and then we can take it from there. Few people PM me, as I'm so sarcastic and unfriendly. Wink

Considering that the spammer/nutter is willing to travel a long way to beat you up, you could at least meet them at the airport.

I like your new avatar by the way, but who took the photo? A drunken midget or did you strap the camera to the back of a passing lopsided dog?

A passing and lopsided wife, hunched over in a weird position.

Hey here's the latest joke from the spammer. The Spammer. There's the name,

All the sad and sorry litle losers who can't get proper jobs in proper (i.e., developed) countries.

Let's face it; most 'teachers' on Dave's 'discussion' forums would not be able to get a toilet cleaning job in a real country.


My guess? Someone that couldn't cut it as a teacher abroad?

Tell the paleontologists. They've been looking for the missing link for decades.

Laughing

Oh here's the latest. I hope I'm not feeding the troll too much, but some of this is too funny to pass up.

Guy Courchesne, the little cretin-like turd shit-for-brains, suggests that, since we pointed out he was around 3,000 years off with his Meme hypothesis, that I must be "Someone that couldn't cut it as a teacher abroad".

Considering I teach postgraduates - and indeed, supervise PhD students - at no less than 3 (top, stellar) unis in and around SE Asia, I find this quite laughable!

Unlike Guy, some of us CAN get proper jobs.


With a vocabulary that slim and intellectual prowess to match, I do feel bad for your students. This one is Robert Lubeck. Hi Robert! Laughing

Oi, what week I'm having. First, I broke a shoelace. Then this. The hardest part is deciding which is most trivial.

I agree; - Guy Courchesne - the little turd who loves himself so much he pastes his ugly mug shot all over the web in the hope it will assisit his search for a boyfriend - reckons that :

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7038031/site/newsweek/

is a "nice article". What a thick little shit this *beep* uphill gardner is.

Turd -


Yes, I am actively looking for a boyfriend. Send me a PM if you are interested. Laughing

Hey, I'm sorry to all of you out there for whom this might be uninteresting or irrelavant...just want to share...if you are getting these same spam messages, you know the scoop. Any ideas on who this might be? At first, they said to be friends of Mr. Sperling.

This clown has added me to his silly little list now. Today, 35 messages from "Robert Lubeck", "Jonathan Bourne" "Walter Krownwe" and "ahshf jdhfdghfg", all the same cretin. Obviously a number of bulbs burned out in the chandelier. I don't usually laugh at the mentally deficient, but this ding-a-ling is too much! Very Happy Smile
Hey, lugnut, here's a kiss for 'ya: ,!,, (assuming you can read)
