Horsie,

your sense of humor doesn't match up with anyone else's.

Yeah... innocent... right...

He must be the unluckyest person in the world... He shares multiple servers and IP addresses with you, and remarkably, hasn't posted in a long time. As a matter of fact, the last time he posted was when you were restricted. And after this long time away from Apolyton, he didn't start posting again until you were restricted again... and using the same servers and IP addresses as well...

And even more interesting... the posts he made the last time you were restricted were in YOUR DEFENCE... gee, what a surprise.

So he must be either a DL... or just a very unlucky person.

In other words, that's your story and your sticking to it.

Still, you banned an innocent poster - is he still banned btw?

Poor guy - LOL.

You never catch any DL's from me and then you ban some innocent poster on suspicion of being my DL

Did you ever tell Mark or Dan you did that?

Just to show you how lame your DL attempt was... here are the first two posts Rimmer ever made... and just for the record, right after you were banned.

quote: Can a new guy comment? I saw this argument. Mr Ming asked them to stop and after a couple of parting shots each they did. Ming just asked them to stop nicely, he didn't seem ticked off, he didn't issue a warning or threaten bans or anything, and they complied pretty fast. So it looked like it was all over. Then a long time after it was over and done with, like about 4 or 5 hours later, the Mark G guy comes online and brings the long dead thread to the top and bans the Horse guy! My conclusion was the Mark guy did it because he likes the Lancer guy and doesn't like Alexander Horse. Is that a problem?

And here is his second post...

quote: Yes but what I don't understand is why did Mark do anything when Ming the Moderator had already dealt with it and it had been over for many hours with both guys quitting the argument? I don't see much difference in what the 2 of them were doing and it all looked pretty mild, and kinda funny. The only difference was the way the 2 of them were treated, one banned, the other not. The Pm reason looks like a technicality to me. That's why I think Mark banned the horse just because he doesn't like him or he agrees with the Lancer or something. Alexander the horse had long gone and quit the fight, as Ming requested. Is Mark a fair kind of guy?

Yes indeed... his first two posts on Apolyton. And then he disappeared the minute you were unrestricted... and hasn't posted except for the times you have been restricted... using ONLY your IP addresses...

Pretty lame if you ask me

Somebody that DLs with a passion may also be a split peronality. The two people in one body may never meet and that could create such situations where one does not know the other!

I would have thought if it was lame then that would tend to indicate it was in fact not my DL

You must, by extension then, be a DL of some European dude. (Man, that dude sure is dedicated to his DLs...)

...or you could just be spelling it that way because a large part of Poly is European.

The DL story is more interesting though.

God knows what he's done, but whatever it is I expect it proves his location field to be inaccurate.

/edit: also, on the subject of spam in the Nation States forum - I'd like to point out that the very few posts I've made there have received great critical acclaim (see sig). There is some gold amongst all that spam.
