And I've got one. That means I gotta get an account that lets me not pay and give him my ISP or pay him money when I'd prefer to use that money for something more important, like for food or paying off my credit card.
I've seen the threads. I've read the posts with my own eyes. I'm not letting any one of those sick freaks get access to my personal information. That makes it a real life security issue.
I suppose if you're that worried about covering your tracks, it might be an issue.
Real life security is an issue, though pressing charges for tresspassing, harrasment, conspiracy to commit tresspassing, conspiracy to commit harrasment and getting a restraining order are potential methods.
And the fact that Mike can post here doesn't constitute a reason why he should.
And why wouldn't he stay inside his well structured perimeter, only to come out to other boards when he's got other people signing up, too, for board invasions. My personal opinion is that he's power hungry, so why would he want to give up his control of the button?
The fact remains that he has an established debate board which you choose not to use, yet you have the hypocrisy to complain that he won't come here to debate you.
This is a very Vympel-like attitude. You quote me saying something and what my reply to your response is what you actually quote later on in the same damn post. Check it:
'There could even be another board used for the discussion. Deviant art, for instance, held a trek-wars thread. I haven't checked it out for a few weeks, but there are more places willing to hold such a debate other than SB.com, SDN, AVSV or this one. There are many many choices for third party hosting of such a discussion, where neither side is at the admin/mod controls.'
I talked of third party boards, such as Deviant Art. If he had the guts to debate me, I'd have no problem at a third party board.
You need to read my posts more carefully next time, so you can stop this behavior. It's very unbecoming of you.
That is a fairly "kiddie" attitude.
If what I did was a kiddie attitude, Wong's multiboard invasions are what precisely? The height of
diplomacy?
Are you claiming that your arguments will be edited by the moderators there to make you look bad?
I'm not saying it'll happen for sure. There is a strong chance of it, though. However, he might ban me after I've replied only once or twice and a dozen of his followers have swarmed on me, saying the same thing, as if the number of people saying a view is more important than what is being said.
He might even make a poll out of it early on. 'Should I ban him before he infects the board too much and I have to make a major disinfection?'
What makes you think he would want to hide his identify? He already has a very public website that posts his position for the world to see, with his name firmly attached.
What the hell are you talking about? I'm not talking about him hiding his public identity. I'm referencing his 'hiding', the protectiong he gets by staying at SDN most of the time. Keeping himself from being out of the position of control that his board status gives him that he isn't getting elsewhere in his life.
He doesn't want to give up the control of being a site admin. The hiding is insulating himself in his title, having the secondary effect of the pay to prevent sock puppet accounts, the legions who flock to his every post.
So it boils down to your desperate need to preserve your anonymity, eh?
You really have a problem with understanding the extent of the security hazard many on SDN are.
Tell me, would you want strangers coming up to your home, taking pictures of your home, the people your with, your family? That is what many at SDN have openly conspired to do and you think my real life security concerns not as important as I'm making them out to be?

I don't have a problem with it.
