Still clueless as to your question as you seem to be, too. Give me a nudge if you need further clarification
You were going back and quoting some old posts, I think Roq maybe thought they were pm's.


This is like an episode of Scooby Doo innit? Mark has Al tied to a chair and we're just waiting to see if he'll whip off the rubber mask to reveal... :?:
It's actually a load of old shite. We're all adults, right?

Old shite or not, you take pleasure from involving yourself, making yourself look a bit daft with the private messages ting.

I'd prefer to operate a 'no rules' policy. Unfortunately it doesn't work as so many people are desperate to win on the internet. As for notin, he wasn't the first to be reinstated and may not be the last. Later, he and pervcat were permanently banned for continuing the same tedious crap and specifically doing it all over the forum and aiming it at posters who weren't even posting at the time and in fact may not even have been reading the forum at that time. Nobody was responding in any kind but still they carried on.

I can't see it being in the forum's interest at all especially as it took ridiculous lengths of time to ban people who should have been booted out a long time back.
^ This
I agree with that but it doesn't happen very often and it wasn't the case with Al Growler.

Al Grower banned permanently due to being a multi, and furthermore a multi operated by a forum moderator who posted very clearly his views about (other people's use of) multiple ID's.

There's no way surely that was Zambo who is the candidate most would have in mind?

If so, I find it hard to believe he could ever write in a different style other than the one he's always used. Total consistency of view from start to finish whether you agree with him or not.

Apart from that, Zambo can't work a fucking mobile phone beyond texting and making phone calls let alone setting up a VPN

From what Mark posted it looks like it's not Zambo.

I'm strictly Firefox myself. I've tried TOR but couldn't be arsed with it, or find any particular use for it.

So does this mean A=Z - or are we talking some long gone mod I know nowt about?

Is he just banned under the Al Growler, Mark or is his original ID also banned?

I do hope it isn't as after this unpleasantness dies down he could continue contributing on here.

I have banned Zambo for a month at the moment - let the air clear and then consider.
I'm pretty tolerant generally, it may depend on how tolerant others can be.

Well I feel like a right cunt now.

I only mentioned it in passing as I was making a general point about why someone may legitimately want a different id to log into a forum.

I never for a second thought it would turn into some sort of inquisition leading to a ban.

I wish I hadn't said anything now, I feel terrible for the bloke.

I agree Col. This is too much of a witch hunt for my liking. Even if the culprit had turned out to be someone I thought was a total fucking cunt, I'd have accepted the fact his new style deserved a fresh start. I thought the reason for adopting one when you have what could be viewed as a 'toxic' username, was a sign someone had got into a rut and sought an honourable exit towards decent posting.

Dont panic. Your post had nothing to do with any action taken. There were other reasons.

Knew it really... sad scenes. Old Al was clearly created by zambo to relieve his goading frustrations because he was a mod. Followed me about a bit too much and goaded Zambo style. Not very clever really.

I have deleted the email address he was using to "stalk" me following ISP advice so that issue is closed as well...

What concerns is how zambo got my (admittedly spare) email from horse so easily to start sending me weird messages. You know what has happened here horse. Have a look at yourself.

I'm sure there is a lesson to be learnt for us all. In the main forums like this are meant to be fun places, not battle grounds.

Have fun times on hols, Dinger. Indeed using AT&T in 29 Palms. :wink:

I have written my piece in the Mod Shack. Not Zola's "J'accuse" as guilty, but asking for some clemency.

Maybe a week and a Zambo, refreshed, recharged, can and will answer questions back. If he wants to come back.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.
