Top marks for dogged determination.

I and at least one other poster receive ten's of such fake e-mails per day.

He's also trying to bother my friend in N Am who helped me to set up this website.

Useful info for Mac users.

In my case, all such junk e-mails are directed into the spam folder in my online Yahoo Japan account.

I keep the fake e-mails as evidence.

Ah, it appears either the moderators or the forum software edited quotes from the IDF soldier, replacing a certain popular expletive with "lavender." Well, I'm sure we can all figure it out.

Automatic replacement of some expletives is now an automatic feature. Just keeping it surreal.

Also, the word "Z i o n i s t" is replaced with "Carnie". Whose idea was that?

I don't get the joke. So they're like the people who work at, and travel with traveling fairs?

Also: loading forum pages has been really, really slow lately. Especially today.

Do you know why this is or whether it has anything to do with the hack attack.

Thanks.

I don't get the joke.

I also find this strange. Its not a slur, profanity, or insult. Some people wear the label proudly. Are they coming for "Democrat" and "Republican" next?

"Z i o n i s t" is most assuredly a label proudly worn by many, despised by others. Should be no need to censor its use.

Don't think that it didn't cross my mind

Anyways, thanks for the explanations.

Zionist has been removed from the list.

In return, I'd like to the people post to the appropriate thread in this "This Forum" section.

Wow, I never thought squiggy would crack like that.

But whatever happened to him he really went off the deep end a while ago and I always wondered, with all due respect Colonel, why you allowed someone whose sole purpose became to troll/terrorize Marcus. I know you have an open door policy and all, but the whole Farcus character was obviously designed to run Marcus off the board, and now that he could not do that, he has decided to take the whole board down itself.

I believed it to be a blemish.

And it is pretty clear now we got a guy who is truly, bitterly, butthurt.

It's not clear to me that ~'s sole purpose was to harass Marcus.

He seemed to be equally bitter towards this mod, Mr. P. and yourself to name a few.

Well, he has Willy E. Coyote failed at both.

NapLajoieonSteroids wrote:I believed it to be a blemish.

Being imperfect, this mod has plenty of blemishes.

Anyways, I suggest that the person best positioned to comment on how much Marcus was inconvenienced by ~ is . . . Marcus.

Given the number of gay dating sites ~ has signed up for using the board admin account e-mail address butthurt is probably the best description.

He actually PMed me a few times poking fun at Marcus and providing what were ostensibly personal details about Marcus and his IRL identity. I replied that I wasn't interested in anyone's personal info and would not want mine shared on some anonymous forum either. He apologized and didn't contact me again, I considered the matter closed.

~ liked guns, farcus was anti guns. I think farcus was amos/running turtle.

PS I have never understood the animus toward Marcus, he seems like a benign guy over all. To each his own.
