Wibble said:We all say things more freely on an internet forum partly because of the anonymous nature of the exchange. That is partly what makes forums such interesting places. In real life we often hold back for a variety of reasons - mostly valid.
I don't like internet bullying any more than any other type. But you don't seem to be in need of protection.
BTW do you thump or threaten to thump people who piss you off in real life.
Or perhaps you behave a bit differently when not on the internet.
Or perhaps not.
Mr. Wood said:On a similar note, I PM'd Red Sea (before I realized he was a loon) and asked how to check an IP. He gave me a vague answer, then said he'd get back to me in a few weeks.
Mr. Wood said:You already accused me of having numerous login names, now you're retracting it.
You're clearly full of shite. You're willing to accuse two posters of being the same person (and they combined would probably equal Davo's post count...) but you won't simply tell me where I live.
You said earlier that it was quite easy to check an IP, why don't you do it?
Sure I was ...Red Sea said:You were pleading with me.
Wibble said:BTW Red Sea there are very few people with multiple logins anymore. I deleted all login names that hadn't been used for ages and now you have to go through the newbie to get a second identity. I checked AEBM and he has just the one identity.
Muliple logins were common in the early days of the forum, mostly just for having a laugh in the general forum but now I can only think of Kemo/CITR. And Rod/Nate sometimes posts under each others login which is hardly suprising since they are going out with each other. Most/all of the posters Giggsy listed no longer have multiple personalities. What makes you so convinced that there are more?
Red Sea said:No I find people tend to be less hostile in real life. I cannot think of the last real fight i had. although I do box, if you ever want to check me out try Phil Martin gym moss side and ask for Brodie, its my middle name. But then they cannot login and log a different person on.
You find internet debates more interesting than real life, you must have a sad life, in real life people argue and argue without abusing people.
Although I have to say I've spent too much time in this place with childish arguments. Ironically most American's don't abuse but argue and debate without abuse.
Red Sea said:Thats a lie I said it was time consuming but easy when you asked. Hell you don't believe iit, no problem, but where did I say you dont have numerous logins?
Red Sea said:I have no idea I've never checked you out, but I'd be surprised if like most on here youve got numerous login names!
Wibble said:I don't find internet debates more interesting than in real life but an interesting addition to real life. People are less hostile/argumentative in real life (although my wife would dispute this about me, particularly when it comes to biology and religion) but that is often just because we aqre foten less than totally honest in real life (and a damn good thing to most of the time).
And it is twenty years since I was last in Moss Side so we will have to make do with here. But you not having real fights proves my point (and your to some degree) in that the internet is different. We argue and respond with less restraint. It doesn't mean anything in particular.
Mr. Wood said:While this sentence is completely incoherent, you do state that you've never checked me out ... after you'd already said that I have numerous logins.
Red Sea said:I am a 100 per cent sure of some of Giggzy's but I know how close you two are!
Wibble said:Not at all close. I have "known" him on here for years but we don't interact in any other way. I don't think we are mates in any real sense of the word. Let me know what you suspect by pm and I'll look into it as best I can.
And I'd rather not delete your account TBH. I assume that you are a fervent Red and therefore I don't want you to leave.
Mr. Wood said:Now you really fit the profile of a cyber hard man - you're doing your drama queen routine
Red Sea said:Just delete it the only thing that bothers me is that it is used by someone else.
Delete it!!
Red Sea said:No not at all but I see now that I should have just been talking to one of you. Jeeps I didn't realise how many login names you mods had!!!
Wibble said:Ah! So you were someone he suspected of having multiple aliases.
Well I can confirm that wanColos does not share an ip with any other poster.
Of course he could be an IT bod who masks his true ip address for some reason.
And AEBM also has a series of unique ips
Red Sea said:So let me get this right do you think we should still use words like Nigger, coon...etc? Firstly, we don’t have freedom of speech, and we never had since the law was created. Would you find it acceptable for someone to go around shouting that child abuse or rape were good, no it would create violence. And no one would dare to say the things I hear on hear to my face because they know they would get their arse licked.
laws and rules can make people think and judge things on a rational basis. If I go to a football match and hear racist calls I pull people up. I never go to the games with my wife because occasionally we hear racist chat and it upsets both of us. I go with a group of mates, but why should I have to feel awkward? If people want to be racist that’s there choice but I do not want it to spoil my entertainment
On the evolution front you know damn well that the truth about evolution is different from how racists use it. If you don’t you should!
BTW have you started a thread that united fans should not get upset over Munich jibes and not be bothered? Just wondered!
Plech, did I tell you that I'm also you?Plechazunga said:Who comes in with two identities and argues witht hemselves Wibs?
I did once, but that was when one of me was pretending to be Redeus, in order to get him banned - which, somewhat triumphantly if only temporarily, I succeeded in doing...
Right, Boring and Red Sea, what form's this duel gonna take then? Are you just gonna carry on bickering like elderly tennis partners, or are you going to get stuck in?
I suggest you bury yourselves up to the neck in lumber, and try to gnaw each others' heads off
Davo said:What's going on?
I'm not reading through all this jazz? Red Sea's always seemed okish to me in matters of football....
and wanting to punch out Boring isn't exactly doing him any harm in my eyes..
