Since you locked the other thread Rich, (Jennifer Jamison, BOI) the issue regarding whether posting as an alias false witness against another is better suited here anyway. After this last post of yours, before locking the thread:
... so here it is. Despite your logic, I am still in the boat that lying about someone's business, or their character, using an alias, if allowed in a thread, is reason enough for some to want to call that entity out in a separate thread. Not a "specific business transaction". OK. Big deal. Lock the thread then. Or solicit opinions, and disagree, and lock the thread. Why then the personal attacks? The OP wanted the issue to get more attention than you thought it deserved or warranted within the rules. I see no evidence that Tim was "personally motivated" in creating the thread. After trading PM's with him about it yesterday, I'm pretty sure his motivations were quite objective. Others took this more seriously than you, for whatever reason, and why you have to cast aspersions on their motivations ... only the Shadow knows
What was your contribution to the issue ? A link to a Wikipedia entry ... LOL ! A false allegation of a felony was made, by a clear alias, and that was your contribution !! Wikipedia !! Heck, why not sling more mud .... everybody else is doing it, right ? Bill S's disagreement with you was motivated by an earlier zinger by you, huh ? Couldn't be he really thought you had stooped low yourself ? You call it a "porn star guessing game", while I believe the OP was serious in soliciting information not about a "porn star", but about someone posting lies in your forum in multiple threads. The police got involved as well, as it was also seen by some as a threat against a physical business and its employees, especially once Harald noted it as a Spokane IP. Go figure huh ? "Guessing game" to you ... sigh ....
I highlighted in black above some of your post. My apologies if I did not include "lock or move or ban" as options you have at your disposal to address concerns, and which are more frequently used. You are correct, you rarely delete. I know that. My apologies for leaving that impression, as it is not supported by facts. It was not the impression I wanted to leave, but I was too hasty with my words. The rest of the highlights, which I regard as not being worth a pot to piss in, are also not worth debating IMO. You are most welcome to those opinions, although I will comment that if, in your opinion, I "stooped low", I was still eye to eye with you.
Of course, you could have just said "Sorry, but this is locked" without the drawn out drama and aspersions. Happy holidays to you none the less !
No Jim, not at all. My business reputation is secure enough, and I am confident enough in my own personal reputation that I would do no such things. Matter of fact, on one of the original renditions of the BOI, this pretty much happened, and that thread was not deleted, nor was the person banned. I would have thought you would know the answer to your own rhetorical questions, so you are only trying to justify your position with frivolous analogies.
This particular thread has nothing at all to do with a business related incident at all, and fully appears to be personally motivated.
If there is a case of where someone is bearing false witness against another in relation to a business relationship, or has a legitimate gripe camoflaged with a false name, then the place to try to resolve that issue is within the thread itself where such action has taken place. Creating a separate thread solely for the purpose of calling into question someone's identity dilutes and obscures what the BOI is here for. It could easily become cluttered with a series of pissing match threads between two or more members, having nothing at all to do with any direct business relationship. Such issues only have relevance within the original thread where such person stated claims that are being questioned because of misgivings about their identity. In such incidents, yes, discrediting the source of information because of the bogus nature of the identity is certainly acceptable and prudent. But starting entire new THREADS abous such identity issues? Sorry, but no. I just don't want to see the BOI cluttered with every incident of this nature.
And while I am thinking of it, Jim, this particular quote from you is evidence of pretty low stooping for you:
Quote:
Its your forum Rich. Never stopped you in the past from deleting whatever you chose to.
Damn few threads or posts are ever deleted from the BOI, and even then ONLY when they are a blatant violation of the rules. Even then, I prefer leaving them if they still contain information that I feel is of value, regardless of the violation. I believe you KNOW this to be a fact, but are finding a stetching of the truth to be convenient in this discussion.
But in any event, BS aside, this thread really serves no purpose for what the BOI is intended to be here for. Please go play your porn star "whois" guessing games somewhere else.

Thanks for that one... Now what made you think to make that statement, hmmm?
