In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

You know, a simple ip address check might confirm (or not) your suspicions. Perhaps one of the mods could look it up, hmm.

It's the coward's choice of IPs, dynamic and ever changing.
I wonder who else has that at work or school or home?
Just loose wheels turning in what passes for a brain in the lumbering lumox that am I.

Here is a list of IP addresses for each post made here:
BTW, there are NO matches with other members to any of those IP addresses.
I normally don't like to post IP addresses any longer, but anyone who knows what this means knows how useless the info really is.
It also rules out some people as being Mr. Shrillomn who do not have the knowledge and internet expertise to be able to utilize this sort of IP spoofery.

How frustrating. The first address shows as originating from Florida, the others do not list a state. You're right, it is useless.

Weird though, this ip address: 207.156.1.11 does give more info than the others...

Location : US US, United States
City : Bradenton, FL 34204

OK, (sorry to keep making new posts but I can't edit old ones) I used a different and much better ip address locator and all but two of them are located in the Tampa, Florida area. A couple of examples..
The last three digits are the telephone area code. So if I was a betting man, I would say that our friend Shrillow is from Florida, somewhere in the Tampa area.

Well then it may well be neil "the liar" gubitz or sal "the theif" tornambene BUT, neither of them seem clever enough to use so many words in a row.
Oh well, it's nice to be feared, er loved, to such an extent as this fan has gone to.

Wes,
I can't speak for Sal, but Neil has been on the other side of the state for some time, and is twice as far from Tamp as I now am. If Rich or Steve or someone in the know can chime in again, but does the fact that many of these seem to be in the Tampa area, and perhaps associated with government work, indicate a solid connection ? Or could they be further distant and somehow still be able to use what seems to be a shot-group of IP addresses in that area ?

True JimO, but still it would be interesting to find out who it is.

I don't know Jim. I get the feeling that this entity will feel the footsteps getting closer, and have to make serious changes, if not disappear. Agree or disagree with his or her opinions, to get caught taking shots at someone from an alias would be enormously embarrassing.

Steve,
From what you see, is there any likelihood this entity is connected with local government in that area ?

It's possible. I would guess that one of the posts (the first?) originated from a computer owned by the Manatee County Government. Of course, one explanation for this could be that the person posted from a public library computer...

You're such a dumbass sometimes jimbo.Chameleon Company said:
YOU go right ahead and worry over what others think, of what will be embarASSing to you, making ASSumptions as is your, seemingly, favorite thing to do.
I will continue, as I always have, to do what I think is right and IF I am proven wrong, I'll not be embarrASSed, but simply wrong.
I don'thold back or sidestep or avoid issues that are touchy or live in fear that others won't approve of what or how I say what I do, jimbo, I am not, and I truly wish YOU would quit ASSuming that I am, like YOU.

Wes,
We ain't pals, and I don't care if Shrillow wants to crap on you all day long. What's humorous is your thin skin and pathetic retorts every time your widdle feewins get hurt
. Maybe we can just while away every day referring to each other as "DumbASS", or write the word "ASSume" or "embarrASS" 100 times on the chalkboard ? Damn that's clever ...... 
Sorry Slick, but I enjoy watching you do it all by yourself every day I peek in here. What a joke.

Are you now implying that Shrilomn is Chamco? Get a grip Wes. You're not paranoid, they're just all out to get you

In his dreams John. In his dreams.
It has been fun watching Wes unravel since my arrival. Ah well, that's what
meds are for Wes.
To those of you who question my motives in remaining anonymous, sometimes
things can be said and accomplished anonymously far easier than in the
direct spotlight. Rest assured that my main focus is the health and
longevity of this site which I consider an excellent resource to the
community at large. My main objection is the vigilante attitude which has
begun to invade most of the more useful threads here. My choice of an alter
ego was not random. I carefully targeted the one person I consider to be
the most damaging to the continued credibility of this site. This is not
because of any personal animosity. I truly believe that Wes believes he is
doing good with his antics. The problem arose when he began to believe he
could actually walk on the water instead of swimming like the rest of us.

All of this nonsense is exactly why Mike started this thread....and in true fauna drama form, it has been derailed from it's original purpose.
This thread is not about Pez, Wes, JimF, Lucille, or me for that matter. It is about the behavior and unwanted flame wars that seem to arise on this forum a little too often.
It is about being accountable for our action's, behaviors, and making fauna a better place for all of the members here......Sad people....really sad.
