I banned a few IP addresses (a few weeks ago?) from people who signed up to make abusive posts. I never intended to ban schrodinger and RDA Fan, but if they were banned in the process that means those accounts belonged to them. I've deleted several accounts belonging to MacGyver. Also 3 people had their posting rights temporarily suspended a year ago.

Come to think of it, the member known as "mgke" could be MacGyver. The "mg-" part suggests that, and when I sent of PM to mgke about his spamming practices, MacGyver posts a photo of Hitler and titled it to me. I think it may be a reaction to the "mgke" smackdown.

About the Hitler photo?I'm not going to react, since that is precisely what MG wants?me sputtering in rage at him. Insults are only as damaging by the respect you have for the insulter, and I have very little respect for MG's thoughts.

There seems to be no indication to me that mgke is MacGyver. Unless MacGyver is very good as masking his/her IP. MacGyver has an american host, and mgke has a belgian host.

I may have been niave, but i 'read' those hilter photos as having a go at the Orlando fans - considering all of them had Orlando photoshopped into them.

Okay, after actually reading the new posts, i saw what you meant. I deleted it - you've taken it as a personal insult, there would be little confusion that he meant for you to take it that way, and seeing as tho that kinda stuff isn't allowed, i am perfectly within my right to do so (if anyone asks), and take responsibility if he asks who deleted it.

I thank you, Jaffa Kree!, for that. I just wonder what kind of message could have been sent to MG if his post simply fell behind, unanswered an unacknowledged by all. However, I know that won't happen since someone was bound to say something in the thread, sooner or later.

oh btw, if you hadn't noticed, i really have taken on the personality of my avatar. whether it's real life crap or crap going on here, i'm sick of it all, and i'm sick of being the nice -in-between-gal-. If i happen to completely go off one day, just reel me in, okay? cause i'm sure to loose it v. soon.

The nazi thing is just part of photoshop culture. I don't think it's personal. I know on a few forums when you get screwed by a moderator, it's customary to put up a picture of a nazi.

As for the orlando guy
here is a convo with me and macgyver

quote:

Session Start (ICQ - 3548826:MacGyver): Tue Apr 30 19:11:53 2002
MacGyver: Venus is going to be pissed lol
Goa`uld: who is that skinhead [expletive] anyway
MacGyver: I have no [expletive] clue
MacGyver: he just looked like a skin head nazi
*** MacGyver signed off at Tue Apr 30 19:18:02 2002.

yeah i dont mind the photoshopping. But obviously RH was offended by that, and casue we are such a warm loving community (okay, maybe not, but not the trash-talk in places like tribal wars (which i dont mind, btw, just commenting)) it wasn't something that should have been up on the forum. People who dont undertsnad that 'culture' wouldn't have a clue what he was really getting at.

As i've said all along, i dont have anything against MacGyver personally, but he should know by now that we dont take crap like that, whoever posts it.
