Mutha/CPR has challenged Chuck to a "duel".

In fact, I think he has a fair point, at least in that ....

.... I think the anonymity won't wash.

.... If Diane was in error, she should apologize. Otherwise, she should stick to her guns and explain why she did what she did. Hard to see how to do this without ending the anonymity.

OTOH, it is going to be very hard for her to end the anonymity, given the mistake, without getting big-time slammed.

So, tho Mutha is no fool and has you/her/us by the short hairs, we need to be open/honest about this.

This is a serious test of our integrity, and should be treated as such whatever is decided.

Did Critt really post the above thread with the above message?

Huh?

About fessing up, we think that is unnecessary and would cave in to some twisted trump card the debunkers are hankering for.

The sysop got a little overzealous with some new tools; nothing horrendous happened; it stopped; but look how the biffys latch on like ravenous eels!

It is our considered humble feeling that anonymity shields one from danger and coal raking and juvenile troll baiting and trashing. Enough of that! Romper room hysteria. Sheesh.

We've made our ideas open on other threads, so won't repeat here, except to say it would be good to let the mud settle and keep things on an even keel, doing just what Ed did, which was to judiciously, quietly, without a fuss or debate delete those posts/threads which had gratuitious obscenity or vulgarity.

Sorta keeping this an "R" rated Forum so families don't have to nervously read it only after the kids are in bed.

BTW, Mutha has no moral authority on this Forum and needn't pull anybody into her brewhaha. However, everybody must be respected and no "editing" or baiting or "exposures" should resume, IOHO.

That's not to say knowing Who's Who Amongst The Trolls isn't interesting! Some have at least 20 different altered egos & i.d.s!

One thing I am wondering about is what got edited. There might be a good reason to edit. The time when personal information was posted about Chuck comes to mind.

Of course I have Paul Milne's personal address. I fit of shear stupidity he posted it one day on CSY2k. Wouldn't some folk like to have that eh? :o)

I do think that cherri needs an apology. The writing styles between MUTHA and cherri are black and white. I have never seen a post that she didn't mispell the words or some other abuse of the English language.

I could be wrong.

What really shocked me was that Deiter has not shown up lately and MUTHA (CPR?) Said that he, she is calling us JaCkLes or something to that effect.

HHHMMMM dieter gets swallowed by the troll cosmic web to be transformed into MUTHA. E Gads we have Xfiles on the forum.

Brian,

Cherri and Mutha come off the same ISP. If they are not the same person, which I still think they are, they may be working together. Hilary checked their posted ISP's that ARE listed over on the Debunker site. They definately use the same server.

Then last night Kevin called me. We chatted for a hour or longer. He said one LATE evening about 3 or 4 am he was posting. Very low activity. On the recent answers, he'd hit the Refresh to see who was posting. At the bottom of the latest few threads Mutha would answer, then the next thread would be Cherri, and back to Mutha.

I've seen the same thing, lurking a midnight PST. Mutha/Cherri ARE definately linked, plus a lot of other "heckling" names too.

BTW, Dieter is not someone to be worried about. A "long-time" regular we all know and love.
