Yeah... right...

Banned members do NOT appear in the member list
Your DL is still in the data base.

Give it up AH, the evidence has been presented... and the judgement has been made... and you are just looking sillier everytime you claim it isn't you. But if that's what you want... go ahead I guess... Even though it's tough to look sillier than you already do

Maybe it's time to post it all again so other people can join in on the laughter. Your DL's first two posts ever on this site were indeed classics, but just a "tad" obvious

What proof? Basically you got someone who gets similar IP numbers as me, presumably using the same dial up ISP, and made the mistake of posting when I was banned. Hardly convincing - Admit it - you just ran with an off topic rumour.

You think I don't know how to hide a DL?

The disturbing aspect is some innocent nobody got permanently banned and is probably still scratching their head about it.

Consider for a moment if it was you who were banned like that and then have a good laugh about it.

Not true. That was years ago iircc. And only one time.

That simply isn't true, that poster posted nothing about me when you restricted him - show the posts. There was no defence of me, he just happened to post at the wrong time. And I believe that poster has posted on topic. My theory is he reemerged for the launch of Civ3. I've seen him on the civ 2 forum.

quote:



I rest my case.




Which is falling apart, so it probably does need a rest.

Some of your posts here have been quite misleading.

Wrong again. I have seen this poster online and posting when I have been. Its like the big lie - say it over and over and someone will believe you eh Ming!

And yes please - post his posting history. And then tell us how many posts were about me. 1%? 2%? 0.03%? Did you post the only posts that were ever about me? And reading the posts btw, they don't seem to be about me at all!!!

The fact is you acted on rumour rather than fact and you never asked me.

If he can get a hold of him, he and AH can post simultaneously and have a conversation to disprove Ming.

I'm sure AH can find someone out there who would be willing to use the DL's account to exonerate him.

Hmmmm... his join date was 12/7/00... and following is the first post he made based on his posting history on 12/8/00

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 this was posted right after your little run in with Lancer that got you restricted... Hmmmm... he joins right after you get restricted, and posts this as his first post.
He doesn't post on topic or off topic first... he joins up and his first comment is that MarkG doesn't like horsie.

quote:

Yes, just like several million other Australians. Again, so what? Bigpond has several million customer with IDENTICAL IP addresses - WOW!


Yeah... identical IP addresses from two different servers that you use... not one, but two

quote:

I think you are the one that looks silly here.

Aren't you doing the same thing The big difference, not matter how many times you deny it, no one will believe you

quote:

I posted his first two posts here... they kind of sum it up nicely. And the rest of history is like following your restrictions history. THE ONLY time he has ever posted is when you have been restricted. And then, after he doesn't post for a long time, he magically reappeared the next time you got restricted. At that point, I did the IP search and restricted your DL.

quote:

The fact is you acted on rumour rather than fact and you never asked me.


One... why would ask you? "Hey AH, is this one of your DL's"....

And second... I restricted him based ON FACTS, as I have pointed out above.

So deny all you want... try to claim that it wasn't done on facts... make yourself look silly... I don't really care.
Your DL is toast, and that's a simple fact.

And yes, finding a friend of yours to pose as Rimmer so you can claim you are both on line at the same time would really prove nothing... it would just be another lame attempt on your part... just like your DL was in the first place....
