    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....

Shrillomn, a brief expose

Just Jim being Jim is enough all by itself.

At risk of repetition.

Sammy, Your a Pillar to the community. May you always be here.


See, you guys should give it out more wisely. :raspberry

Let's see. We have Bob, we have Jim O., and Alicia.

Bob, since you have the biggest mouth here currently, with your own foot in it and the two above, be the man and post your evidence. I am calling you the coward, the pipsqueak, etc etc, for not posting it. You can also answer the question while you are at it .... Are you Pez ?

FYI, I PM'd my answer to your stupidity to Mike G., so he has it in writing. I asked him to just sit on it as you make your case. Let me ask you in advance ... how does it feel to be king of the stupids ? Put up or shut up Bob.
 
Mike,
If you will, just sit on it. Let the "prosecution" :rofl: come here and make its case. With luck, it will get really deep here.

C'mon Bob. Are you just accusing willy nilly :willy_nil or do you have the goods ! I am not only accusing you of being stupid beyond belief, but also of needing to get a life. Your last two posts, and those by you which I hope will follow here, are my evidence. Jim O., Alicia, sorry folks, but you seem to have auditioned to be co-defendants. Randy, you still seem to have some sense. Hope you keep it.

As I mentioned yesterday Jim O. in another thread, where you were posting screen shots of my being "logged in". How pathetic you have become. That is one long road down.

I must now yield internet access to the younger folks. I am planning a picnic today to the grassy knoll to reminisce about "old times". The shovel is in your court Bobby.
 
I'm not really sure just how I was drawn into this, I can only guess that it was based on my previous post:

Bob,
Why not just post the evidence and let everyone draw their own conclusions?

Regardless of the true identity of Shrillomn, I still think it's a bit sad that this silly thread has torn such a rift through some of the membership here.

Happy Holidays...
Regardless, I see no reason not to respect Jim's wishes and "sit on" the information that he pm'd me.

Have a great time everybody, I'm going to try and spend some time in the more serious parts of Fauna. There are some legitimate threads that deserve some attention.

Let me show you how easy it is Jim.......

Am I Pez? Nope, I most definitely am not Pez although I must admit, they are one of my favorite candies. I reckon there is something about lifting that little head of Pez and tilting it backwards, almost like his neck just got slit, that is fascinating. But I digress.......

So, Jim, are you Shrillomn? :)

Griz

PS And Mike, I, at least, respect you enough to not drag you into any of this.
 
So Bob,

Are you saying Jim is a.... Pez Dispenser..... :rofl:

Ok, maybe it is too early for bad humor.

You must spread some karma around before giving it to Mike Greathouse again.
 
Sammy, that ain't sweet and tasty candy spewing forth from the piehole of chumpco, no no no, ho ho ho, not candylike at all.

I have heard rumors though that when he yells and screams in the yard, as he does here on fauna, his grass is greener than anyone else's on his block.

This fine greenation must be due to the amount of pure fertilizer, read poo, that he does spew, whenever his jaw flaps.

Oddly, in most humans I know, it works just the opposite, poo exiting the rear. Huh, he's just a very special person.

I guess.

Alicia, chumpco is known for avoiding making a statement that would hold him to a particular postion or point of view, unless you're a known criminal, in which case he will be all for doing business with you, and I don't expect he'll have the courage necessary to honestly answer Griz's simple question.

It also keeps him as the center of attention if he prevaricates and postulates and lies. As with any child of three, about the intellect he generally shows, negative attention is better than no attention and we all know that were he not such a turd, he'd have NO attention paid to him at all.

Sad really, a supposed grown man acting like a spoiled brat looking for mommy and daddy to tell him he's a good boy, sad indeed.
 
A while ago I posted that “Shrillomn” was a “man with a plan”. In fact it occurs to me it might be more than one individual working together towards a common goal: have members of Fauna fight among each other. What’s the benefit he might reap one might ask? Well, have the problem escalate to a point where he/they will get rid of some people by simply having discredit themselves through their posts. It’s quite obvious that his/their goal is well on its way of being accomplished without him/them putting to much effort at all. After all these years in Fauna it seemed I had seen everything. Boy was I wrong! An anonymous entity self appointed ruler of a “new order” has been able to play at will in here. What’s sad is that there are some who rejoice in seeing a fellow human being suffer. The problem is not Shrillomn, but the “Shrillomns” of the world.

Regards.

Dan, your post above has great validity IF you take this thread seriously.

It's been a joke from the beginning, a joke with a number of targets, targets which change as the joke evolves. I suspect that ol shrilly, er chumpco, did not expect it to turn upon itself the way it did, but as is ever the way of a coward who has been outed, the tucktail and run that has been done by shrilly is not only no surprise but has itself made of itself the biggest target in this thread.

Sow and reap, as the saying goes, sow and reap.

I think you have a wise post there Dan. It seems to me though that pointing out the poblems is a certain percent toward achieving a goal: after all, if it isn't identified it can't be solved.

Part of it though is proposing answers.

Someone recently pointed out that when there is a lull for a while here on Fauna, people start up some shiznit just to have some drama going. Possibly whatever Rich's new plan is may give people opportunity to have drama without having people hurt.

What answers do you see here?

Because that is the modus operandi of this particular troll. Rather presumptuous of it to put you in the middle, don't ya think?



A straight answer is all that has been requested. If Jim F answers in the negative, that is that he and Shrillomn are not one and the same, and are not in cahoots with one another, that would be the end of that discussion as far as I am concerned. But that would defeat the purpose of a troll, who just wants to disrupt, redirect, and generally stir the pile of crap.



Here's a definition that I believe fits (from Wikipedia):
In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who enters an established community such as an online discussion forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, often in the form of posting messages that are inflammatory, insulting, or off-topic, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others.
Wear it proudly, trolls one and two. :yesnod: :yesnod:
 
Could we have the IP of "Shrillomn" posted? There are people which are very good at finding an exact location. Even if it's a library it will be close to where he is at. At least we will rule out 49 states ;), as it's highly unlikely that with the current gas prices he is driving out of state to post his replies.

Regards.
 
I am not too computer literate but I do know that there are proxy servers. If someone goes through a proxy which IP address is shown here?
 
Dan, a list of IP’s has already been posted that shrillomn has used. It’s ever changing.

As Griz has stated, when a person posts anonymously they also without realizing it tend to use some key markers within their posts that could reveal who the person(s) might be. Good example would be this thread where I found it pretty easy to figure out who the actual person was early-on.
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68115

Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your position, a case could be made that a few could be shrillomn, in my opinion. I happen to have my own personal conclusions on it but would think it unfair to an innocent if incorrect. Then on the other hand if this is just a fun entertaining thread, maybe, none would be offended.

 
Oh good lord people!

When this all began, I was not very happy at seeing someone who is a friend become a target.

Now this has spun so far out of control, does it really matter anymore?

Every single person that has posted on this thread has a valid point of view. I may not like those views, and or agree with them, however, we are all entitled to exchange ideas, thoughts, and view points, no matterr how ridiculous they may sound.

I really don't care who Shrillomn is anymore, however, I have loved the lesson in human behavior that he/she has brought fourth here. Way to fall in line folks! And Pez, thanx for the Birthday wish. Happy Holidays to you!!!!
