Migawd...I think I'm bored. There's never a good forum WAR when you need one.

Well, I think I spoke too soon. Yummy. I seem to have awakened ONE particular person with this message. Nice to know I can still play him like a violin. HOW predictable is this? The fool can't help himself. He actually lifted the "Wake up" message link from here and posted it, along with some pointed remarks and innuendo (always aimed at me...fun). Take a look. Since he saw fit to post something from this forum, I claim the same right but just for One reply here.

We turn down more registration requests on most days than many of the previously busy boards get in total posts in a week"

Well, Gee Whiz, Fella. I thought that your "home board", (you might think it was actually a board HE created...it's not....he just uses it for ego exercise and a platform to criticize, never has created anything), was SO pure and non-confrontational that it's FORBIDDEN to post links from other places in an attempt to cast aspersions on people or forums? Your ARMY of moderators and gate-keepers over there should have blocked this message...but not for you...just for the ordinary users...not for the "bouncer at the Disco door". They aren't paying attention. Too busy "Blocking" all those unacceptable applicants.

Can anybody imagine forum moderators BRAGGING about keeping people out? It's a model of mass PARANOIA. The only people I did that with was YOU and 2 of your "dearest pals". On the other hand, your home board is a continuation of the old "users are ONLY safe HERE" cult that you learned so well from your old cult leader, Sybil (or Cybil as you tend to misspell it) whom you all still fear and see behind every internet Rock . Total BS and attempts at mind control....which only works on the weak minded.

Well of COURSE there are a lot of "iffy" people applying...the place is a MAGNET for every TROLL on the INTERNET, just waiting for a chance to drag you around. You can't help yourself...it's the nature of the arrogant, narcissist that sooner or later he reverts to type. Boopsie, you KNOW I'm always here....waiting for the real persona to push past the "Uncle" image and play out here in the open.

Now, THAT's what I'm TALKIN' about! Post this little reply, 'ole pal, along with the usual sniveling disclaimers...make my DAY. Not gonna continue here. You know where to find any further responses. Better run your actions past your "keepers" first. Might start a dispute with them and you'll be forced to leave their sanctuary...again. THEN where will you get attention? You know where.

I've told Jeffrey to remove this reply if he wishes. I don't plan to stand for the old tactic of using a transparently benign reason to bash and use good forums to make ego points. People have a right as users in good standing to post on forums. Challenges are fine, but to use messages posted in a place where you're NOT welcome...and which have NOTHING to do with YOU (I know, it's always about YOU) in a derogatory manner, IS a challenge and a deterrent to board use.. If this message doesn't stay here, I'll just post it on Silicon Folly. People need to know they are not objects of disrespect...no matter where they post and that innocuous messages will not be lifted and used out of context for personal reasons elsewhere.. I've been fighting that trend for years in forums. Of course, not everybody LOVES that fight as much as I..
