What, exactly, is a "phony" nickname? :>)
Foggy, there have been folks who were registered on bo and not only didn't berate or swear at other members (even in reply when those tactics were used AT them), but were very straightforward about stating when what they stated were opinions as opposed to facts.
'Offers, otoh....especially beebad.....constantly attempt (poorly, I might add) to present opinions as facts and when those opinions were refuted with facts the repliers were attacked personally and eventually banned for "just causing trouble".
Beebad's "member of other boards in good standing" nonsense is just that.....nonsense. What that translates to is "members of other boards who already have said they are ready for a coaching change".
I see there are several bo'ers who still are posting here (some under same handle....some different) who continue to berate CG and call for his ouster, yet they're still allowed to post.....because they don't make personal and foul-mouthed attacks against other posters like bb and his band of hypocrites. Beebad and his "open forum" is total crap and you know it. If anything, he is by far a bigger censor/banner than either of the 2 major GT boards (Hive and ST). He cried about censorship, then proceded to eventually become, by far, the biggest advocate of it, himself. He's a sad, sad little boy who is nothing more than an insignificant self-coronated king of fools wallowing in his (and their) self-exile and anonymity.
Like I said before, he (and BO) are like the Carlin "newsflash" joke about the guy who's barricaded himself in his house. He's unarmed, has taken no hostages....and nobody is really paying much attention.
