Ok I have seen enough JOEY FARINO board member

[Taxman]

David,

Very well said....I dont know with a 100% certainty that Joeyf/jboog/mantlefan81/blackitalian/italianz31 is Sam1952 but I do know keeping both off would be the easiest answer. Easy is not always the best but sometimes its the only answer.

While I appreciate the "easiest" answer I absolutely will NOT take that route. I will be fair to both of those folks. I can see Sam coming back upon proof but Joey still having quite a bit of 'splaining to do.

David- help me understand what your issue is with having someone prove who they are? Is it really that big of a deal? As I said, I put myself in their shoes, I would just do it (and have) and move on. best regards

Glad you asked. I have absolutely no issue with having someone prove who they say they are...when there is probable cause to think otherwise. However, you have no cause. You said, "I have information leading me to believe we have a rat in the house with the whole SAM1952/JoeyF situation." No, you don't any information other than some other board member's suspicion. If I am wrong, lay out your information. I still stand behind my earlier statement: To accuse two people of being one in the same w/o any proof is pretty irresponsible.

We just see this differently so let's just agree to disagree. As Pete said, let's get back to the main issue which seems to have slipped through the cracks...

You would have been better off just shutting up after you said the above statement. Writing styles, other peoples thoughts, both SAM and Joey commenting on similar things...SAM not returning my emails in a timely manner etc etc....all give me enough cause to ask a harmless request. As for you David, as my father used to say "Son, you would argue with a billboard and give it a 30 minute headstart". You run your board your way I will do my best with this one. I will usually error on the side of caution, which is what I am doing with SAM....Again, I am sure you see it differently. My mind isn't changing so I suggest we move on from this. thanks again....

Leon, you forgot to mention that Sam and Joey were also reading the board coincidently at the same time.

Whether it's "fair" or not, I would just rather not have someone on this board who we have reason to suspect would screw you in a deal.

That being said, I appreciate the fairness Leon desires and how he isn't all about censoring and banning people for every little thing.

Leon has always been able to whip me into shape effectively, and that's quite a task.

I TOTALLY agree this!!! I have been on a ton of different message boards in my time on a variety of different topics and i have to say that Leon's style of moderating is one of the best (if not the best) ive seen. Far too many moderators are too quick to ban someone, lock up threads, censor threads, edit threads etc. and i believe all the things i mentioned are not done by Leon unless absolutely neccessary!

[dstraate]

Anybody with that many aliases is not somebody I want to do business with. Leon, if you get requests to use the login name realdstraate, dstraate81, sandbergfan81, or dboog, they are not me, they are my err. business partners.

I'm sure Leon's pretty savvy about these things but in today's world you can easily have multiple IP addresses and area codes for phone numbers.

Because of my work environment (I work out of one location) I have three area codes and can shift my computer around to have three different IP addresses (not all at the same time, but I could if I used multiple computers). I can make a quick IP address swap with a 10 second hardware change or a quick software change.

Just because someone calls you from one area code and another calls from a different area code doesn't mean they're not the same person. I'd rather have them both conferenced in but even then it only takes a person to ask a friend to pretend to be someone else...

don't you just love technology and people that aren't very truthful... $hit, here I go.... I love our country but I hate the fact that criminals can get away with all types of crap because we belong to a "sensitive" society that has to give everyone the benefit of the phucing doubt and even if someone proves they're a phucing loser we let them "rehabilitate" themselves so that they can return to society and phuc someone else... Sometimes I think some of those Islamic laws aren't so bad.... you steal, you get your hand cut off... do you think that type of deterant works? Ask a Muslim that knows someone that had their hand hacked off.... no, I'm not advocating that we make drastic changes to our laws but punishments with a bit of a bite might be cool.... please, don't get me started on capital punishment...

oops... did I really type all of that... sorry.... No Leon, I don't think you need to hunt down Joey and shoot him... although I'll venture to guess that some people may disagree with that....
