Someone is posting crap and using my name...

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unk's Wild Wild West : One Thread

Someone (and I have a pretty good idea who you are) has been posting rude, foul, and obscene replies using my handle. It isn't me and I don't know how to stop them.

Sorry for the inconvenience, that is all...

The stealing of a handle rates a beating. In loo (?) of that, I suggest anyone offended by an Uncle Bob post email him for verification.

That should keep you busy for awhile. :)

Can the IP addresses be looked at? That would tell you who's doing what. If you give them all to me I can write a program that will tell you who has posted with different names.

Even if it's a DHCP address, I can tell you likelyhoods. :^)

"In loo (?)" would properly be "in lieu".

Don't ask why. Goes back to the Normans conquering England. Messy, messy language, English.

-- Miserable SOB (misery@misery.com), February 06, 2001.


'Loo' is a Brit term for bathroom, no? Brain burps are becoming more and more frequent. Thanks for the correction.

-- Rich (howe9@shentel.net), February 06, 2001.

Bemused...

Here ya go...

Maybe UNK can cross reference my IP's to the imposters...

-- Uncle Bob (unclb0b@aol.com), February 06, 2001.



That's a nice offer Ted, but I don't think you need to waste your time. Most people here know Manny is Hawk and he has been stealing handles and trolling with other names for years. Remember brett miklos? Yup. That's him too. We can't get rid of this guy because he is mentally ill and doesn't have anything better to do. Even if you connect his IP to his troll posts it won't do any good because he doesn't have any shame. The only way to get rid of this guy is find out who he really is and start calling him on the phone.

-- (We know@it wasn't you. Bob), February 06, 2001.

Didn't Hawk stop using his own handle because imposters were using his handle?

-- Lars (larsguy@yahoo.com), February 06, 2001.

Question #1

Manny is squawk?? Well, I'll be......

Question #2

Who, in their right mind, would want to pretend to be squawk?? Hey, did he ever collect that reward $$ for the Texas 7???

I almost busted a gut typing that.......:-)

What are you complaining for? Isn't this the "Wild Wild West"? Not very wild if you can't stand a few Hawks and al-ds onboard, in my opinion.

-- p-nut gal (@ .), February 06, 2001.

Yeah Uncle Boob who really gives a fuck anyway?

-- Manny (No@dip.com), February 06, 2001.


Only a troll Manny my dear.

-- Carlos (riffraff@cybertime.net), February 06, 2001.

Uncle Bob, I care not about your personal IP address. I want everyone's. Can't a forum admin provide that?

-- Bemused (and_amazed@you.people), February 06, 2001.

you'll get nothing and like it

=)

-- (cin@cin.cin), February 06, 2001.


Poor ol poor Uncle Boob. At least you may have fun on your honeymoon. btw i'm getting you a years supply of ky jelly for your wedding gift.

-- Manny (No@dip.com), February 06, 2001.

Are you sure you can spare it, Manny? Aren't your lips a bit chapped too?

-- Fanny (Manny's@a.jerkoff), February 07, 2001.


Uncle Bob, you've got my real E-address so send me a line so I can contact you. A fellow down in Vacaville Cal. called last nite and said he has a solution to this problem and can track the next posting within 6 hours and come up with a telephone source.

-- Boswell (fundown@thefarm.net), February 07, 2001.

-- Bemused (and_amazed@you.people), February 06, 2001

WTF?

THIS is the reason why I flip out!!!!

Uncensored, but yet YOU have a program to look up IP's? WHY?

Who are you to be trusted with that?

IF anyone provides you with my ISP, dont look for me around these parts no more.

IS this what this forum is being REDUCED to? A witch hunt?

BULLSHIT, this is BULLSHIT

-- suemr (shh@aol.con), February 07, 2001.


I agree sumer baby. But then Boswell and UB never could be trusted.

-- Manny (No@dip.com), February 07, 2001.

***You are right Peg, this is not from me***UNK D*** It's against my better judgment, but in this case I think you're right. It'll take me a couple of days to put all the IP's together but at least that way we can stop this noise.

Anyone doesn't like it can kiss my hairy ass.

-- Uncle Deedah (unkeed@yahoo.com), February 07, 2001.


You go ahead and post all day if you wish Manny. And for a topic why don't you address the issue of being a pathetic little coward. That should keep you occupied for awhile!

-- Boswell (fundown@thefarm.net), February 07, 2001.

I'd bet my last buck that Unk didn't post that.

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), February 07, 2001.

Uncensored, but yet YOU have a program to look up IP's? WHY?

I'm assuming this was addressed to me...

No, I don't have a program to "look up IP's". I was offering to help out uncle bob if he could provide me all the IP's - sifting through them manually would be a pain, I just offered automation.

If this is going to be a big problem maybe we should forget it. I don't care, personally, who posts as who and really don't want to mess with people's privacy.

-- Bemused (and_amazed@you.people), February 07, 2001.


***This isn't me either***UNK D*** Pay up, Peg. I don't have time to babysit everybody and thought the offer was a good one.

-- Uncle Deedah (unkeed@yahoo.com), February 07, 2001.

sigh..

I guess the point is, what will be done with the information?

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), February 07, 2001.


Good one, my not hairy ass unc.

WE dont even know who bemused is and why would you consider allowing this person that access?

Again, on this one you UNC are WRONG. Face it.

Your forum, but bout now you are NOT a man of your word, this IS a form of censorship, admit it already.

-- sumer (shh@aol.con), February 07, 2001.


sumer, are you sure this is unk? I think there is some chain-pulling going on around here. C'mon. Let's go see what the cook has whipped up for lunch. Have you been outside lately? I saw a hint of sunshine earlier.

-- kb (kb8um8@yahoo.com), February 07, 2001.

kb8,

I'm with you dude,chain pullin' seems to be in the air,so Sumer,just hang tight for the momento and let's see what happens.BTW,I thought some hot dogs and brats on the grill might be good today,of course with an ample supply of brewski's and a few shooters for good measure.

-- capnfun (capnfun1@excite.com), February 07, 2001.


'sumer,

Bemused has been around since the wayback days - he just hasn't always been a 'regular' regular. I'm sure eve would vouch for him, too.

I agree that something needs to be done, & I'm 'bout as privacy protective as anyone.

Uncle Bob,

You were just the flavor-of-the-week, I think most of us well recognize this garbage by now {unfortunately}.

-- flora (***@__._), February 07, 2001.


Actually you win Peg, that wasn't me.

-- Uncle Deedah (unkeed@yahoo.com), February 07, 2001.

Whew Unk..it's a tad maddening. I sorta figured it wasn't you (even though it sounded alot like you) cause you usually don't post during the daytime.
