    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.

    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

I happen to have my own personal conclusions on it but would think it unfair to an innocent if incorrect.

So do I Dennis. ;)
 
I have had another amusing revelation.

I tend to forget names, especially when they are mere fronts for those without the wherewithall to stand behind there own names, the ones they use in "regular" posts.

But, following the link Dennis provided to the pocket pud thread I realized that shrilly, aka fishbutt in my book, is not the first or second or maybe even third dimwitted genious to call me out without having the courage to do so using his real name.

Wow. What is so fantastically scary about me that these "upright" and "caring" citizens, veritable pillars of online society, can't do it HONESTLY?

It must really SUCK to be such a coward or to think that a mug like me can make you look so bad that you won't use your real name to call me out.

Kinda says a lot about the perceptions some have of themselves, deep deep down perceptions, if they think they'd come out on the negative side of a confrontation with me; especially since so many of them make claims to above average intelligence. I am CERTAINLY not the smartest guy here, no where near it and that's the honest truth, yet here I am, target for those spineless cowards.

Weird. I wonder why? I wonder what my posting style makes them think of themselves that so saddens them that they need to try to make me look bad by secretly sniping at me. It must really SUCK to not be man or woman enough to stand up to me and say, ".........." and then own thier own words.

Thank goodness, with all the problems I DO have, owning my own words and feelings and thoughts, being able and responsible and willing to claim them as my own, which I do, that being a cowardly scumsucking nodachord lacking bellycrawling scumbag, isn't one of them.

Gosh, it must be worse if they have signifigant others too. Can you imagine what it must be like to say you lost in a battle of words to a guy like me? WHOOOO HAWWWW, that would be embarrASSing to the extreme, I would think.

Interesting thoughts though, makes me go, "why?"
 
Ahhhh ! Some posts of intelligence, and a few more of stupidity ! Jim O., lets give yours a look, which admittedly expressed a common sense not likely to prevail here.
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.

Point is Jim O., a denial solves nothing. While the part of your post that indicates "that would be the end of it" for you, as you can see, an answer is not important to several others here. As examples, we have the brilliance of Wes and the gumshoe work of Bob :rolleyes: . If the answer is in the negative, I cannot prove that "I am not", as a few have suggested that its a conspiracy. I could show that I was on a plane at 30,000 feet when a post was made, etc, and "so what". As they say "you cannot prove a negative". So, my answer is set in stone now, property of Mike G.. I will ask him to post it once every idiot who wants to jump on Bob's bandwagon has had the opportunity. Right now, it seems its just Wes and Bob, and Alicia with an "I think so", but sorry Alicia, that doesn't count. I did not ask to be "accused" by the motley crew, but now that I am, I intend to enjoy it ! So I waive my right to enter a plea at this time, and Blowhard Bob can present his case.

Dan, it amazes me too, not only the extent to which Pez has given people the opportunity to make themselves the fool, but how some jumped at it in ways that surprised even me. Unbelievable, except that here lies the proof.

Make your case Bob. Mike has a definitive answer from me. Short of that, it is my opinion that for one of us here to be Pez would be lower than whale dung, the king (or queen) of pusillanimity, deserving of the title "Fauna's coward ..... but clever". Now, that's the tail in my own words. Pin it on the donkey Ace. You made the accusation.

Jim,

I agree with your posts a lot of the time, disagree with some, and at times you can be an incredible horse's ass (and no doubt you feel the same about me), but I wouldn't question the veracity of your answer. In fact, I would defend it as I can't see where you have lied and I don't find that in your character to do so. But your insistence on drawing out the process without a straight answer (unless one gleans your meaning in the third sentence of the second paragraph above) only adds to the drama. Also, you have lowered your new standard of "civility" with some of your recent posts by using vulgarities and with ugly name calling and epithets. Aren't you better than that?

Detective Bob. Instead of beating around the bush, show some balls. Maybe get a life too. Pathetic.

I'll take that as a no.

Judging by what I have seen quoted, since I have chumpco on ignore, he has NOT stated that he is NOT shrilly.

Not that it matters and just for the record.
 
Sheesh......... Who really CARES who it is? The bigger deal that is made over it, the less likely an unveiling will ever take place. It wouldn't matter a rip to me one way or another whoever it turns out to be.......

That's the crux of it. Some care, some do not, and some watch this only to see folks reveal a little more of their character. For those who care, every tiny detail and nuance takes on more meaning than it probably should, and the "credibility" they think they gain by being right clouds what should be better judgement. As stated already, Pez's dirty work is done by others with little more than small prods by him/her at strategic points in the discussion. Where else can you see folks throw so much dung at each other, all the while claiming they have good reason to, yet somehow try to convince all that they stand upon some high ground which compels them to hold back on posting proof one way or the other.

Wise words, Tom.
It's amazing the amount of control that this one anonymous individual has exerted upon this board.
 
It's hard to figure out.

Human nature, in general, really does love a mystery. The truly interesting facet of this silly situation is that Shrillomn has not really said anything that has not been said before by a number of posters. The inclination to move back to a less "user deadly" Fauna has been stated by a number of members. Maybe it's the cloak of anonymity which has caused all the furor :shrug01:
 
A host of better posting. Jim O., I'm not going to cut and paste, but this addresses some points made by you and others. For those who have cared to read, I have pointed out that in past differences with Bob (griz) that I have PM'd him, asking that he give me a call before things reached the level of a Wes'ism. OK, maybe Bob has no faith in phone calls vs. the ease with which things are worked out in Fauna :rolleyes:. Even here with whatever the motivating force is, as Rich pointed out, to give a rat's rear end about whomever the masked man is, if Bob had an ounce of decency about himself and his concerns, he could have PM'd me (or called) and asked "tell me this isn't you?". Several have said "just answer the question" ....... sorry, but if you read all of Bob's posts about this, it was not "just a question". It was couched in an accusation, then overtly put as such. It does not hinge on any claim that I make yea or nay. As Mike put it, "show the proof". If Bob proves its me, he now gets to hang that "tail" around my neck. I thought I was sweetening the pot for him :D .

While I can agree that this is not Sunday School talk, as you pointed out:

I also meant every word of it, as stated. I don't have to hide behind a keyboard, invent accusations, and all the other pant-load BS from Bob. The arena of ideas here is good enough. He ran from the opportunity to talk about any issues between us long ago. He still runs. He still hides. Bob made an accusation. Show your proof ..... or ..... retract it ..... or..... hide like Pez ?

And Wes ? With utmost restraint ..... Mom would be proud ....... Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you. :santa: Same to you Bob.

OH! OH! I read that book!!! Needful Things! Stephen King!! My favorite writer!!

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.

Its all become clear... Thank you wes :p *heavenly singing in background*
:rofl:

This is true ONLY if shrilly's goal was to foment rebellion and disarray on the site.

Ponder this as well. This was a personal attack on one person. Suppose the goal was to hurt this person, to make him look so bad that his credibility would be damaged.

Suppose that the above goal was the certainty of shrilly when starting this thread. Suppose that the outcome of this thread, in no way diminishing that person, so far as I am concerned as I speak only for myself and as myself, was NOT forseen by shrilly as even a possibility.

What THEN of your postulations, those who have subscribed to such and awarded FAR more intelligence to shrilly than some of us, er I, have, given that the outcome was not the intended bashing and beating and belittling of one particular individual.

What then?

If shrilly is not in control of this thread, who is?

Does it matter who is?

Why?

I can assure you that I don't give a rat's patootie who it is. Sure, I'd like to know and I've made a few guesses, but it's because I've enjoyed the game, liked the views of some that have been shown, and have no life of my own to occupy my time.

There are a few complaining about shrilly, to paraphrase, pulling strings and pushing buttons. IF that IS the case, why are YOU posting on this thread?

Interesing line of reasoning, neh?

Again, i said if you are you are, if youre not, well then.. youre not.
But you attack members here like it dosnt matter and you know what, Its pretty ridiculous.

If you were to say you were not "pez" and it was true i would Apologize on the spot about accusing you, and wether you were to accept it or not is your own thing. because thats how i am. If im wrong. im wrong, i dont hide behind words to make myself seem right. I will tell the truth, and i will apologize for wrongdoing.

Wait, you mean to say you lack common sense!? who would have known!?
:shrug01: :ack2:

Alicia, while I don't think that's quite what he meant (though I cannot be sure from the little snippet of a post you quoted), I've found this to be a pretty common thing....people who are very intelligent, i.e. "book smart", but are completely lacking in common sense, i.e. "street smarts" or just plain real world skills. In other words....they could probably do very well on a MENSA test, but when it comes to dealing with the average person and average relationships on a day-to-day basis, they bumble like an idiot. ;)
