That was interesting about him having access to inside knowledge that it was not me. You would really have to check with Alex about that to be sure, but from what I have been told by Internet Buddies who run Yahoo forums, *they* have been able to track anyone who registered with their forum, whether they registered with a real email ID or a "no_reply" id. Then again, some of my Internet Buddies are verging on blackhattedness w.r.t. their levels of Netsavvy, so I wouldn't advise trusting them completely, either. :-) In the world of white hat hackers, I saw your post before walking my dog (still hanging in there, thank you) around the block. On that walk, I ran into my Dutch cop neighbor and he asked me to update him on the complaint I'd filed with him some time ago. I did, saying that nothing much was happening and that Jimbo seems to have dropped the slander. But then, your post still fresh in my mind, I asked whether he and his EU cyberbuddies could tell me who "cardozy" was, since they were monitoring Jim's internet activity both on FFL and The_Leak because of my complaint. His reply -- tossed over his shoulder to me as I was walking my dog away and he was watering the garden -- was "Yes, I could. But I can't, because he was not one of the people whose activities we were asked to monitor." Good answer. :-) Or perhaps a superficial acquaintance with the Internet lead him to draw conclusions about similar IP addresses. I don't know how it works at the moderator end. Maybe anyone from my area comes up with a similar regional IP code?" But with Yahoo so far up my internet identity butt combining information about me from different sites, it would surprise me if it was not clear that whoever tried to use that name was not me. This is not the first time I have had to assess whether the forum malice comes from ignorance or intended harm. You are fortunate to have been away, enjoying your life. Since you left, events have pretty much convinced me that it's about intended harm. These people are never going to stop. In the end the result is the same, someone who wishes me ill can win by attrition if they just post after me. KInda took the charm out of posting here for me. Tell me about it. To be perfectly honest, the main reason I'm still here is to stay in the face of Those Who Ran Away. They were the ones who tried to portray Fairfield Life as a war zone, and me (and my ilk, like you) as The Enemy. They were the ones who tried to turn simple discussion into endless battle, and "winning." And when it became obvious that they had failed, they ran away. They lost. I'm still here to remind them that they lost. :-) :-) :-) ---In [email protected], <turquoiseb@...> wrote : Thanks for clearing this up, Curtis. Further comments below: From: "curtisdeltablues@...

I found this entry by Jim from back in January: Jim: "PS Before you get too carried away with the whole "boot me" meme, I have banned one person, Curtis, who tried to sneak on under false pretenses, just to cause trouble. His alias was cardozy or something. Other than that, everyone who has applied, has been accepted, and no one has been booted. Yes, everyone, no exceptions." Me: I have never applied for the Peak under my own or any other name. I suspect that Jim used his "intuition" rather than any actual facts to make this claim. But on the lighter side someone got canned from his tiny kingdom and was accused of being someone else by an "enlightened" guy! Methinks he may have blown out a possible follower due to paranoid delusions. I find this particularly interesting for several reasons. First, as you say, this "enlightened" guy's "intuition" is obviously for shit. :-) Second, and more important, if he is the moderator of a Yahoo forum, he had *full access* to cardozy's information, and thus almost certainly knew it wasn't you. So it appears he was LYING about who he kicked off. Finally, and most hilariously, the "sin" he kicked this poor sod off for was *telling other people on The_Leak the kinds of things Jimbo was posting over on FFL while pretending he was all about sweetness and light on The_Leak*. That's not just duplicitous, that's kinda insane in my book. Jim, you and I have nothing to discuss ever so I don't need to join your group. But I hope you have the integrity to print a retraction for your baseless accusation. And if someone here was using that name I hope you will come forward to bust Jim on his false accusation because if I know Jim, this will start a round of the infamous "doubledown" routine. Of course he will. When he accuses you of lying, I urge people here (and on The_Leak, since they seem to spend more time reading FFL than they do over there) to remember that the person claiming this was the person who lied to everyone on FFL for months while he was pretending to be a woman and posting under the name of enlightened_dawn11. Even ignoring the laughable idea of claiming to be enlightened, he has ZERO credibility from that debacle. I know it is appealing for Jim to believe that his group is so desirable that I would take this trouble. But if anyone with a brain actually looks a my posting pattern, I own everything I write, and have never (unlike the slippery Jim) posted as anyone else from my earliest days on AMT. Obviously, I have never had any interest in joining the Whine-fest over at The_Leak, either. But I do find it hilarious that Jimbo managed to kick out someone just for revealing that 1) not only was he still posting on FFL after claiming that he never would again as long as I was there, but 2) that he was posting his usual insults and slander, while claiming that he had "left" FFL to get away from such stuff. What a nut case. :-) Not only falsely imagining that it was me, Jim compounds his misguided self confidence by claiming to know about the motive of the person who used that name. I am always a fan of an example that shows why the subjective means of gaining "knowledge" is a farce. Oddly it is the quest for subjective confidence in one's knowledge that often draws people to spiritual groups. It makes life so much easier not to have to worry about messy facts! I simply can't wait to see how "Mr. Enlightenment" deals with this. I predict hysteria. Maybe crying and whimpering. :-) #yiv1480774567 #yiv1480774567 -- #yiv1480774567ygrp-mkp {border:1px solid #d8d8d8;font-family:Arial;margin:10px 0;padding:0 10px;}#yiv1480774567 #yiv1480774567ygrp-mkp
