Beware of the Trolls.

zardoz99

I'm pretty certain that we have a troll in our midst...

 

Please don't feed it.

    It is hilarious that you deleted that. Maybe mods are trigger happy

    but you have no need.

    I didn't use the phrase you are a witch. If the message gets recalled,

    you will find it asked a valid question of "are you and abishur friends"?

     

    I also do agree it is odd that you used the "wait a tic", "gotta agree" and

    TO-202 around the similar time that abishur was investigating TO-202

    devices.

    Yes the witch thing was tongue in check, it clearly went way over your head.  I personally find it lamentable that the post was deleted, I had no idea that this forum worked that way.

     

    did a site search on gotta agree, found one post with abishur saying that.  So now there's one post for wait a tic, and one post for gotta agree.  Of course, there were several people (Jamesh and a user named VBT) who both said "gotta disagree" so these pet phrases just aren't adding up guys.  (Or maybe Abishur is just really a persona for Jamesh, like a good cop/bad cop thing gone wrong)

     

    I find it hilarious how much reaching goes on over here to support such flimsy ideas.

     

    And just to be clear (as I'm sure failing to explicitly answer it will be counted against me) no I'm not friends with abishur either, sheesh.  (wait is the word "with" one of his favorite words?)

    You made a typo?  Well, everyone makes typos.  But you seem to have lots of trouble with transposed letter typos, like "stuble" for "subtle" and "opedened" for "opened", similar to Abishur.

     

    How did you know the RPF paid for the alpha boards "at their own expense" if you weren't privy to inside information?  The only public information about reimbursements is that the trustees were reimbursed.

     

    I'm disappointed you aren't Abishur.  There's lots that Abishur could explain.

    Hello (this is not just a reply to lameduck) - I would be grateful it if we could please refrain from proceeding with this discussion as to what identities community members here may have on other sites.  If a community member wishes to disclose that information about themselves, then that is their decision.  I believe those posting in this thread have a lot of technical knowledge and experience to share, so let's please engage in more productive discussions going forward.

     

    Thanks!

    I did (yet another) site search and no responses from abishur came back with him saying stuble and am giving up on trying to fact check your claims that I talk like him. And honestly the level of effort you're putting into trying to tie my mannerisms to his is kinda stalker level creepy.

     

    All posts I've seen on the RPF site has been that they used their houses as collateral for paying the production of the boards up through the alpha boards, that's hardly private

     

    I'm sorry I can't help you out, but if you have questions for abishur, why don't you just go to their site?  I don't see your name in a site search so I doubt you've been banned over there.

    +1 It's a nice level playing field over here - and we're allowed to push the envelope pretty far in all directions without heavyhanded intervention. It's a public forum too, not some secret society requiring a particular agenda + rolled up trouserleg to join - and because it's all public here then it matters not a jot who a particular member may be imo. image

    +1, but it seems that it will be a difficult proposition since it seems that some of the recently arrived e14 forum members only came here to refute any posts, particularly those where we right or wrong criticize the RPF or highlight technical issues with the Rpi, so far not a single technical contribution or original post.

     

    And my comment about an ignore feature, was not intended as a general ban or censorship for a particular user, I just decided to simply ignore useless long arguments that will not change my mind about what I think about RPF and the Rpi.
