    I never said Dayton should change his ideology, just his style.

    Also, he didn't ask how to prevent people from contacting him or disrupting his personal life. Only how to make other posters from wordforge accept / respect him.

    As such, I accept your revocation, but I think you missed my entire point.

    I've had more duals on that site than I'd care to admit. The scariest was when that Partsking guy came on to one of them.

    Hey, I've been banned more times than Catcher in the Rye and I seem to behave myself okay.

    I have no idea how I have avoided getting banned from any forum I have frequented in my life.

    It's because he's Scandinavian. When has a Scandi ever been kicked off of anything, except maybe an accidental scholarship from the United Negro College Fund?

    That is true. I feel very oppressed by my near-pure-white skin color.

    You and gul forgot what El Chup attempted to do. Starting a thread listing my full name and residence and a series of insulting things so it would come up on a google search first thing.

    The rules are different for Scandinavians.

    Regular girls have to take their clothes off for Playboy.

    Emilie Nereng got featured in Playboy (SFW) and tweeted: "Hahaha jenta som aldri viser utringning er blitt laget sak på av Playboy.com. Tar'e som et stort kompliment!!" - Hahaha Girl who never shows cleavage has made an issue of Playboy. That is a great compliment!!

    She's cute, but not quite as cute as Divo, her little dog. He's half Pomeranian, quarter Maltese, and quarter Lhasa Apso,

    I didn't forget it.

    It was something done on this board, not IRL.

    Has it harmed you?

    Don't know. But technically it was IRL because IIRC El Chup admitted it was designed to come up in any google search of my name.

    Perhaps, but if you didn't spread your personal info all over the web that wouldn't have been a problem at all.

    "ArkEducator" as a screen name would leave no obvious trails back to you.

    You also forgot that most of the board, myself included, called him out for it as well. But I'm not going to pretend as though you hadn't left your own crumb trail as long as Tererun's typical post for anyone to find out about you with or without Chup's help.

    Although the divide between Dayton's real life and Wordforge was thin-to-nonexistent in the first place, in terms of people from one side being able to find him on the other, the full-name thread was explicitly admitted by its starter to be an attempt to harm him in real life.

    *Pops over to TrekBBS and does a search for Wordforge*

    Somebody feels profoundly dirty just for knowing about us?

    I wasn't banned. I threw a bitchfit and then left of my own free will.
    I'm not a misanthrope.

    I guess. I don't post there much. Most of the Trek related threads tend to be fanboy discussions of why did Yar do this or why did Picard do that, to which the answer is always the same. It was in the script. Every now and then a salient topic will be raised concerning one of the Trek shows. As for the Neutral Zone it is dominated by a core group of posters whose primary purpose seems to be stroking each others...ego...and making juvenile comments about anyone who dares challenge one of their proclamations. The conversation I read there about Wordforge centered around some previous BBS members who, they claim, left in a tizzy because the big evil liberals scared them off. In other words, more self-aggrandizement and stroking each others...ego.

    So I thought I would come here and see for myself. For what it is worth you guys seem ok.

    I fondly remember getting warned for trolling Voyager fans with a fake interview with Brannon Braga, getting warned for trolling Christians with a fake interview with God, getting warned for disagreeing with the moderators...I can't recall if I got warned for the Wizard Neroon GIF, or if that was just over here.

    I was just a kid trying to hang out with the grown ups. I had a lot more free time on my hands then.

    I don't even see the Neutral Zone over at The Trek BBD. Do you have to do something special to see it? I only have thirty something posts over there (over a four year period) so does that matter?

    Yeah, I thought about correcting that bit of revised history, but then figured Tafkats' post was all they deserved. Indeed, "it makes you feel dirty," would make a good ad campaign! :lol:
    Thanks!

    He claimed to know a lot about Wordforge, but when pressed for evidence, he pretty much wilted in to small Jake. Do you know him?
