<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>It's ironic that by sharing this you have made yourself one of the members you are attempting to critisize. I think most people aren't phased by the topic founders motives...
Tom, I bet you think your response was clever and are probably patting yourself on the back, but you don't see what a fool you have made of yourself, something that is clear to some others. I know you are young and naive so I understand you have difficulty seeing the world for what it is; 27_2007 is Pinky and posted an absurd post considering its timing. That was the point of Rog & Pete, that is to expose the thread for the ........ it is and continues to be, enable by people like you. You failed to separate the need for me to post on this thread with its meaning, just like you fail to heed the many corrections to your naive ways.
I have never put somebody on my "Ignore Button" list nor have called on the mods to snitch on a member...no need to when they expose themselves anyway. The reason for this is because the idea is that the forum members should police themselves. Have you ever heard of somebody say "don't feed the troll?" Its a good idea, but only if you don't have members such as yourself giving importance to such an absurd thread and feeding trolls. You naively rationalize that you can separate intentions and therefore give yourself the green light to feed the troll. You fail at both, you have no idea what are people's intentions, and you're enabling on this thread (as others) only served to invite Pinky's aliases to chime in. Ah, but you are such a good mind reader of motives right?
Here is an exchange I had today with Pinky: (First, let me give you some background, take a look at my signature, I changed it today to let unsuspecting members know Pinky's aliases. I changed it about 10am). Just a short time after I got this PM.

To which I said:
Hahaha, hello PINKY.
This was his next PM:
To which I replied:
You are very sick.
This was his next PM:

To which I replied:
Pinky, I can't really have a normal conversation with you because you change your name so much and all you do is hate. Get help, call a doctor, you need one before you so something crazy.
This was his next PM:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>ofcourse you cant have conversation with me coz youre not capable for that. yourre half educated man whos spending his life on internet discuse sport which he doent understand. im racer, youre armchair expert - difference.
My last reply to him was:
Get help Pinky. You may suffer from Schizophrenia. Tamada6, #27, AP67, 27_2007 and now Putin. What next? Call a doctor.
He of course had a few more choice replies.
Tom, (and anybody else who wishes to think they can legitimize a conversation with Pinky) this is what you are dealing with. A person who has no grip on the real world and lives in a fantasy. Imagine that, a person who like a child puts his hands over his eyes and thinks you can no longer see him. Its a fair warning on this thread by a few members like Rog & Pete, but you think what do us "old timers" know, right? Well sometimes the old guys have little insight and experience about the world we live in and to who might be on the other end of an internet connection.
There's a few other members I have refrained from replying to also because they seem very angry. In one such occasion, Rog said something very wise to me, he said in a PM to me, 'don't debate this guy (another member that will remain nameless, but I bet you can figure out who) because he may take it out on his wife or kids'. I thought about that and realized he is right. There are alot of unstable people in this world and are capable of anything. One tell tale sign is a person who spews unfettered anger and changes his name thinking unrealistically that people don't notice. Its a fantasy world he lives in and you are feeding this fantasy. We may be shielded by anonymity, but somebody on his end has to deal with him, and that might be dangerous. I didn't really go into analyzing his PM exchanges above, but I think there is no need really, it speaks volumes for itself. This post should give you a clue as to what is Pinky the next time you decide to grace his fantasy with your attempt to legitimize and rationalize an exchange with such a person.
