Guys I know this isn't my place but will you finally stop that Dayton thread? And preferably ban him? The threat to ed is certainly worse than anything Castle ever did. Also, his family members probably don't even know this place exists. They certainly didn't agree to be posted out here in the open. I know the gajillion mods here don't see themselves as nannies or anything and it's probably nothing (IP directory ). But I really don't like that thread's vibe. Not at all. Spidey sense tingling at ultrasonic frequencies.
I don't like that there are pictures of his family in the Red Room, but the dumbass posted them himself. I also believe his "threat" is internet bravado. If I thought he had the means or fortitude to carry out such a thing, that'd be different, but I don't think he has the guts to do anything other than flail against his keyboard.
I'm generally not in favor of protecting posters from themselves, but if you think about it his family members are really the victims of his dumbassery. If we (or he) removed those pics, what happens when somebody later uses them to troll Dayton?
If somebody has already collected them, then so be it. As you point out, he did it to himself. But at the same time, he would probably try to claim we weren't protecting him if the pictures did surface. So, yeah, probably best to do nothing.
It's hard to protect someone that doesn't bother to protect themselves. This isn't Tamar trolling the Interwebz for crumbs, Dayton serves up a five course meal of info for anyone to use. For all of us know, that phone call to his job could've been someone from one of the other ten message boards he posts at and wasn't connected to any TBBS spin off board at all.
The whole tone of the 'conversation' gives me the strange feeling that after he shoots up a few WFers, they'll find his family locked up in the basement eating rat droppings or something. It's weird because I never perceived him as threatening and borderline psychopathic before. Something has changed. I hope I'm just over-sensitive
I agree that one of his screws seems to have backed out in recent weeks, but I don't think he's hit the part where we can expect to hear the newscaster start out saying, "He was a quiet, simple man" and ending with ".. before turning the gun on himself."
I have no idea where Ed lives. Is it, in fact, 7 hours and 23 minutes away from Norphlet? Even if it is, I can't see Dayton actually meaning a physical threat against another member. I think it's just blowing off steam against people who make a point of being unreasonably nasty to him.
Bumped for that thread he posted in HD....I'm so tempted to lock it up. What else can possibly be said about it?
Yeah, he went through and disagreed with most of my posts, too. It is a sign that he feels powerless.
Oh piss off you grudge driven loser. Whatever you may think of me, I have no intention of abusing the pictures of Dayton's wife of family, nor have I saved such pictures.
