I don't know exactly what it is you're taking exception to.


Lousy attitude and perrenial "victim" mentality for starters; quite adept at hurling unprovoked insults and slanderous insinuations, and generating discord where there was none.

"Anyangoldboy" is very new, he's been more active today than usual, and on the surface his story doesn't seem to add up.


Junior Detective League now?

If he's the latest incarnation of Bigbill/Otis/Kevin and has posted a fake ad to get people's e-mail addresses so he can update everyone on the activities of "Rocky" et al, I don't know why you would expect me to use a friendly tone with him.

Based on your sunny posting behaviour and unparanoid outlook on life the whole board should be Our Spammer.

That is very clear

Rather than flaming other posters whom you think the mods should be worrying about, look a little closer to home.

You're the one who's flaming. And I think your attack on me is uncalled for.

Yeah ... well, getting a nasty, sarcastic reply from a mod in response to perfectly legitimate questions is annoying.

You make me laugh...Who cares what I post and the two rooms which are spare are real. I have better things to do that get peoples email address and spam them. I mean talk about conspiracy(spl).

And yes anyone can get a Yahoo.uk account from anywhere in the world. Just happens I am a Brit and prefer it to a usual yahoo.com account.

And yes I posted on the board a long time ago and the dropping the names was just a joke. Seriously I was just putting in posters names for fun.

That's nice to hear. Your first response sounded a little hostile.

True, but within limits, and the earlier display seems beyond the limit to me. And out of character as well, IMO. A textbook case for the suggestion cbclark makes. There's scolding and then there's humiliating, and each have their place. It doesn't look good to see a Mod -- and my favourite at that -- engage in the latter on public forums. Really, that belonged in a PM.

Yeah, I think "Jongnoguru's" basically right - there seems to be a personality clash, and it's unseemly for a mod to single out someone for perceived character flaws that could just as well be viewed as legitimate differences in outlook.

What's with the paranoia around here?

Of course Anyangoldboy is a sock, but you do understand that "oldboy" suggests that he lived there in the past, not currently, right? There's no reason to suspect he's up to no good as yet. Besides, despite what kevin's sock drawer and Wackers would have you believe, not every sock is a troll.

Mods are posters too, but I suspect Canuckistan and the other mods aren't thrilled when a regular poster goes out guns ablazin' for another poster. That's what PMs are for. With that in mind, they should hold themselves to the same standard.

oh and Anyangoldboy, welcome back!
