Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Good man Ritchie.
Dude, if you have a legitimate gripe or if you see things you do not agree with just say so. The people here are not going to attack your business over a difference of opinion like the one you had here. Good people bump heads all the time. That does not mean they are going to try and ruin your business. If they did try then they aint good people that you had a difference of opinion with.
If we were all exactly the same it would really suck. If people are open minded and have the ability to see things from other peoples perspective then folks might actually learn things from differing opinions. That is how we all learn and evolve as people. So do not ever feel the need to hide your true feelings. You just might teach someone something or you just might learn something yourself from the ensuing conversation.
I am very glad you stepped up and revealed yourself, although I wish you would have done so before Doom broke out his detective skills on you.

Actually, doom was not the first one to figure it out, if he even did at all. The one who did virtually posted it right here in this forum, but no one noticed. See if you can find it a page or 2 back.

I don't really care who it was that figured it out. That is really not the point of the matter.

Just how do the people who act like jerks get "rewarded for it" just curious, not trying to start a battle or anything.......

To me the rep points mean nothing, If the people cannot search the boi to see what you are about and they just go along with that sidebar, then obviously they are not using fauna right. The trader rating and the boi is the only thing i use to judge someone here.
Oh, if you think i am a complete "jerk", I maybe to you, but atleast I do it on my orignal screen name and don't have to use another one. If people do not like what i say, let the points fly, it never stopped it before.
I am glad you came forward though, as it would probably be a matter of time before people put 2 and 2 together and figured it out.
Again, i am not trying to start a argument or fight with anything i said.
One more thing, maybe i am missing something, i made one little comment to that thread and the dood exploded like a can of hot soda on me. link If he did not comment to me again, I would have forgotten about him and that thread.

If you think the rep points are important or even the "rewards". Just a little hint, You go up 2 REP Power point levels, every 100 post's i think. So normally the people with high rep power levels, are the ones with alot of post's behind their names too.

I had a point to make, and I made it, in a big way. Although my methodology was unusual, it was designed that way to draw out the exact individuals who will jump on any excuse to be mean. And it worked. Some of you are nothing if not predictable.
The personal attacks directed at Wes, well, I must admit I just couldn't resist. He is so disrespectful and nasty, I was overwhelmed by the impulse to jerk his bobber a little. I will offer a sincere apology if he will.
Some of you got my drift, and some of you never will. C'est la vie.
If you want to shred me now, have at it. If you could see my point through all the BS, give me some positive rep points, as I will probably need them. LOL
That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. Ritchie

1) You lied (your identity) so you could make a point about how OTHERS behave?
2) You call them 'jerks'
3) Really, dude, with the IQ you say you have, you should know better to attack people, bait them, call them names, call them jerks.
4) You have an extremely holier-than-though attitude about the behavior of others when you just admitted you could not resist being nasty to Wes. Why are you preaching when you cannot control your own behavior?

It was the original poster that directed the tone of that thread, which lead to the bashing by the second response.
I think it was a bad example for R.R. to use.
I will go play with my rocket ship.

LOL
I thought more people would have got it.

My point was that SOMETIMES, SOME high rep people here behave like jerks, IMO. I've seen many civil, pleasant posts by these folks, also. If that is not your opinion, then I guess we have to agree to disagree.
I should have never brought up the IQ thing. It was just me trying to defend myself, not an attempt to be "holier than thou". Sorry if it came off that way, but please read what he wrote just before I made that statement.
