    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Inquiry Anyone done business with Laura ([email protected])

I didnt think it was appropriate like I said I just stuck up for someone I have done business with in the past and that was it, her comment was directed at me and after hh moore (mediator) stepped in and sayed that was a little harsh. I think a apology should of been granted then

Calling her job like that was COMPLETELY inappropriate. I hope she does call the police, as soon as possible.

It's seriously pathetic that you decided to STALK this woman because she hurt your feelings online. Grow a backbone and act like a sane adult, not the gutless sociopath that you apparently are.
 
it is completly inappropriate for someone that works for the state to act that way, end of story !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All she did was voice a suspicion that you are the same person that Laura/Artie is. I don't blame her one bit, because you share the complete immaturity and petty vindictiveness of your friends.

If your definition of inappropriate is somebody casting doubt over the validity of your word, then that is YOUR issue, not theirs. I can guarantee you that it wouldn't hold up as a defense for stalking her, if the police contact you about this.

She had every right to make those statements, and they were in NO WAY inappropriate.

And for the record, you harassing her over this has not helped your friend Artie one bit. In fact, you've done a lot more damage than you realize. Artie and Laura can and will be judged by the actions of their friends with regards to this, and you have proven yourself to be somebody that any sane person would avoid like the plague.

With defenders like you, they sure don't need enemies. :shootfoot
 
kaos' ad was from last summer, though; so the fishy smell isn't too bad, IMO.
I don't doubt that they're friends...but "sockpuppet" might be a bit strong.

I didnt think it was appropriate like I said I just stuck up for someone I have done business with in the past and that was it, her comment was directed at me and after hh moore (mediator) stepped in and sayed that was a little harsh. I think a apology should of been granted then

The post you referenced, which I quoted above, was not in an official capacity - it was an observation from a long time participant (me)...so I wasn't "stepping in" in the way you seem to think.
As far as apologies being in order, I think your response far exceeded any "offense" Amanda, and that you certainly overstepped the bounds of reasonable behavior..meaning you should be apologizing to her. (Again, so there is no question, this post is the opinion of a longtime member of this site; and should not be confused as that of an official statement by a moderator)
 
a simple apology could of ended this all especially after a moderator sayed that was harsh and stated that it was 2 different people I just stated I knew him and had no problems in any dealings with him basically not saying anything bad about anybody as for harassment her directing her comment to me you should look it up with any state job with a 0 tolerance you should think before you get yourself involved in something that had nothing to do with you. What you think about my actions I really dont care and I didnt appreciate it

It's funny that you'd say that. You should probably give New York Public Authorities department a call and report Arthur G Davidson - Long Island RR for all of his recent online threats. :rofl:

Since you just happen to be such close friends with Artie, maybe you could also chastise him in person for his involvement in the illegal underground Texas Hold 'Em scene. I mean, since you'd have us believe that propriety and high moral fiber are among your many virtues, it's pretty odd that you'd associate yourself with someone who committed such shameful acts as an employee of the great state of New York. :rolleyes:

I'm sure you'll feign righteous indignation and get your panties wadded over my saying so, but "sock puppet" is exactly what your posts have screamed at me. Aside from my reasonably high certainty that none of you have the mental capacity to set up a proxy to hide your real IP, there's not a whole lot to say that you aren't really Artie.
 
maybe you should catch up on this I just stated he helped me out and I did buisness with him and nothing neg came about it never sayed we do holidays together thats all
 
What are friends for?

maybe you should catch up on this I just stated he helped me out and I did buisness with him and nothing neg came about it never sayed we do holidays together thats all

Why on Earth would you be so willing to go above and beyond to try and help give him a glowing referral? When bad guys get stand alone great recommendations from a single person, naturally the whole board screams "fake!". 9 times out of 10 the bad guy in question has gotten his buddy to post how wonderful they are. Most regulars can smell that right away and do jump on that. If you don't want to open yourself to possible critique, get the heck off the Internet.

IMHO, a person with nothing to hide wouldn't call a near anonymous person at their workplace and do what you did. That's truly messed up. I hope she doesn't have an overprotective husband. The fact that you did call her workplace and instill fear (no matter how remote) is positively horrible of you. And I don't care if you were justly due an apology (which you aren't) your actions make you slime.
 
James, I don't know if you are just focused on what you consider to be defending yourself, or your reading comprehension just sucks...:shrug01:
 
like ive said dan prob a good idea to make posts that have no point here i guess people never learn
anyone have any problems with rob cheating stealing or anything
you can join lawsuit send all info to [email protected]

Well, since you and your husband have become so interested in digging for someone else's dirty laundry, it'd be a pretty hard sell to convince anyone that your own yellow-stained sheets have no place here. And, since your friend James is suddenly so interested in standing up for what's right, I just couldn't help making note of the ridiculous irony of the situation.

You/Artie have shown a blithe willingness to not let legality stand in the way of your pursuit of profit. As it pertains to your general business ethics, I'm of the opinion that what I posted is at least as relevant as your little burm fiasco. When someone has shown a "by any means necessary" approach to coming out on top, potential trading partners may appreciate knowing it. Perhaps you shouldn't be rooting through someone else's closet when your own skeletons are falling out of yours. :shrug01:

By the way, please refrain from further cluttering up my Inbox. I'm suddenly public enemy number one, among certain dense New Yorkers. :rolleyes:
 
well apex throw your hat in the ring so you feel james comments gives you cause to

make post with my husbands salary and job ( i think your jealous) whatever when his

ban is lifted im sure he will respond

And I'm sure whatever drivel he spews will be nothing short of a masterful display of literary virtuosity. :rolleyes: I guess that it shouldn't surprise me that you lack the capacity to see the point I was making. Your defender, James, made the following statement:

Considering your husband's position, I just couldn't help pointing out the inherent hypocrisy and idiocy behind that particular stance. It goes hand-in-hand with the hypocrisy behind getting pissy over your own dirt being exposed, after having solicited the BOI for dirt on someone else. However, I can almost picture the blank expression on your face as my words pass unobstructed through that void between your ears, so I won't waste any more time explaining that which you're unable to grasp. Expressing myself monosyllabically has never been one of my strong suits.
 
Just sayin....I've known James for over 4yrs, he's a close friend & I've met Artie at the Hamburg show in the spring...both are good guys. Personally I think if you haven't done business with OR met someone in person for yourself, you shouldn't be allowed to comment on a BOI thread. These threads are permanent & can tarnish a reputation because people are nosey & feel like commenting because they're bored at work. (General statement).

It's unfortunate that the BOI which can be a great tool, is going to crap because random people get involved. If you have nothing factual to contribute, leave it alone...no one cares about opinions....we're only interested in the facts.

This will probably get me an infraction of some kind because a moderator doesn't like what I have to say, but the moderators are too strict on here as well ...my parents weren't even as strict & my mother is a Sunday school teacher!!! As you can see from my stats I have decent karma for someone that's not on here too often. Just think its time to put this thread to rest....this is really ridiculous. People don't need the stress of online nit-picking.

Anyways, sorry if I made any typos lol

Have a nice weekend EVERYONE! =)
 
Wow Bobby,...thank you for making an example of yourself. With that said, I have better things to do than hang out on a forum all night involving myself in others' affairs. Hope you guys find cures for your boredom...mine is a night out with Apple Martinis. ;)

Enjoy!

No, that's not how it works, we give infractions when rules are broken.

but the moderators are too strict on here as well ...my parents weren't even as strict & my mother is a Sunday school teacher!!!

if you would like to discuss the way this site is run, please feel free to use the Feedback Forum, thank you
 
Sorry,...one more thing I noticed & I'm done with this.

Im really not trying to be disrespectful, but its an observation that wasn't sitting well with me...

THAT doesn't surprise me at all...is there any way to prove it, though?

Anybody else notice that Laura and Artie type in a nearly identical manner?

This doesn't really seem like moderating, but more or less pot stirring. As a moderator, don't you enforce the rules, not make public suggestions? Being suggestive would make others question your authority/ position.

Emphasising "THAT" & saying it "doesn't surprise" you. Almost sounds personal. If it is, the professional thing to do would to be to recuse yourself from this thread.

Hope I don't get infractions out of spite for this....I was not disrespectful & nor did I swear. =S
