Public wifi, spoofed mac, bounced thru a hijacked PC or 2 along the way to either a tor or i2p outport.. Tracking wont be too useful in that situation. ( tho i agree, its a bit on the extreme side )
Just ignore it.. it's the internet and people will disagree. It does sound like you need a little break maybe, get your bearings straight and come back when things won't bother you so much. I know it's hard to read political spam and hate posts/threads but they really aren't all that bad either.. most of the internet, especially other forums, are much much worse in those regards than PFF will ever be.

??? Being able to let off steam here is a "distraction?" Whatever you have to do for Ellie, you must do. But understand reality. Whatever discussions we have here, no matter how heated they might become, are discussions. (We are all just people behind keyboards.) They shouldn't be emotional attachments. They are not your children. Save your energy for what's important, which is Ellie.

Didn't you quit smoking? (However many times?) If you cannot leave and not come back, then it's a pretty easy guess that this forum fulfills an emotional need that not even Ellie can. Can you identify it?
You have three choices: (1) You can walk away, cold turkey; (2) . . . four, you have four choices: (1) You can walk away, cold turkey; (2) you can troll, but not post; (3) you can explain to Ellie the emotional needs you have that she's not fulfilling . . .(ok, that's not really a choice, is it? . . .)

Sure it is. If you really want to leave, just go away. Quietly. We don't even need to know that you're gone. Who would notice, anyway??

We'll see. Last person to post in this thread wins a prize. Probably a frozen smoked chicken. Maybe a fresh smoked chicken, depends on how benevolent I'm feeling, just then, and probably quite a lot on the outdoor temperature. Either way, you haven't really been given the bird, until you've been given the bird by me.

Sorry, I have not had enough time to follow the thread. By you/anyone asking that a separate section be made for discussion not cared for, is censorship.

Of COURSE I can I spend the greater part of my waking hours (12-14) completely alone. Therefore, PFF became a friendly 'companion'. But when that 'companion' develops uncouth and rude behaviour, you sack it. Or try to ignore the unpleasant parts. Sadly, the unpleasant aspects seem to dominate a LOT more of the T/OT part of the Forum, and to bang that old drum, too many people don't give a flying sh!t , and insert unwanted Political rubbish, rhetoric and, to be blunt, immature sarcasm into a thread that neither asks for, NOR requires it.
I would just like to point out to all the Political 'cowboys' who ride in unannounced and uninvited,and start waving their parroted rhetoric around ON BOTH SIDES There is ONE person, and seemingly one person alone on this Forum, who has the integrity, commonsense, breeding and respect for others and their opinions. ONE person, as far as I can see, on the whole Forum, whose comments, opinions and debating style shines out like a bright beacon. Maybe a few of you should study Frontal Lobe's beautiful and eloquent way of posting and discussing. The Forum would be a WHOLE lot more pleasant if the 'Posse' chose to appreciate and LEARN how to communicate strong beliefs without appearing to be supercillious, deprecating and downright rude. There are others who come very close , but Frontal Lobe wins the Oscar fro ME, anyway.

Again, I thought that you left. Do you want to give a time frame on how long you will milk this farewell?

But Nick, haven't you heard?!
When someone at a table beside you is being rude & disruptive in a restaurant, the PROPER thing to do (according to here) is to get up and move & just stay away from that table. If they follow you to every table you go to, then the next solution is to either put up with it or just stay out of the restaurant alltogether.
Because you see, the problem is YOURS, not thiers.
That's the logic being used here by suppossed "smart" people at "Cliffs Restaurant".

Actually, you were banned for spamming through PM's. You were actively recruiting members for realtechfieros of whatever it is called (just after it was renamed from "pennocksucks").
And why the Hell he was ever allowed back in is beyond me.
Nick, as hard as it is to not respond to the dumba$$ bothering you, just.....don't...do...it! So many things you could say, yet not worth the effort, trust me.
Nick, I love ya man, you were there when it counted!
But in the 80's we had an expression, "take a Stress Tab!" We all get overwhelmed at times but conflict is life, there is no escaping it! Just step back, watch a sunrise, contemplate the insignificance in the big picture of an internet discussion and come back smiling....and vote GOP
Suspicions confirmed! Your solution to everything is "vote GOP". I always suspected that. Everything you post is anti-Dem, pro-GOP. Go ahead and accuse me of being a liberal again.
Suspicions confirmed! Your solution to everything is "vote GOP". I always suspected that. Everything you post is anti-Dem, pro-GOP. Go ahead and accuse me of being a liberal again.
I would say THIS to you, Nick; Look at it in perspective.
Do you like you, your life, and those in it? Is the World you see around you, although not perfect, a pretty good place, with mostly good & kind people? Do you prefer feelings of hope & prosperity in the future for us as a speices?
If so, then you have to limit what and how much you read here. Because a lot of ugly gets spewed forth here. It is some peoples bread & butter. It's what they live & breathe.
And then their are the Vampires. They suck your soul, because of the absense of their own. They are the ones that pick, pick, pick at you. Every little thing you say, every expression, they have to twist it untill it is ugly, just like their insides. Then they feed, off of their own words. You never have to look for them, because they are ALWAYS looking for you.
Because, you see, O/T is no longer the place you come if you want to be UPLIFTED, to laugh, to share. To fellowship with others who share (or once did) a common thread. Now it is mostly about EGO and/or POLITICAL MASTERBATION.
Even in a simple explanation, I see snyde littlte jabs. Like "I marked it as Politics because that is where it will end up. Just for the whiners." I get the first sentence, but why was the second nessisary? Why? Because that is how you degrade. Degrading requires no reason.
In short, if you want to feel good about YOUR world, don't come to THIS world. I read most things here now like I would read stories from both sides of the argument on the reasons for the continued retalitory drive-bys of the The Crypts & The Bloods. That's how deep I find the reasoning here is from "The Usual Suspects".
Nick, stay here, write what you write, try to stay out of others silly degridation games while here, and continue your search for the "TicTac in the turd". Because, it IS there. I just wouldn't count too much on it's breath-freshening properties any longer.
Sorry, I have not had enough time to follow the thread. By you/anyone asking that a separate section be made for discussion not cared for, is censorship.
So, (again not arguing, just trying to get it) I looked up the definition of censored. It doesn't say anything about it just being in a different section. Only that it is when something is basically governed by a person who can remove or add what he or she wishes. I didn't ask anyone to remove anything. Only that a separate section be made for that. If anything, it would qualify for segregation I would think! But not censorship. I would still have a choice as to whether or not I want to read the political threads!
Edit; for spelling. Stupid auto correct!

When you're weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side When times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I'll take your part When darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl, Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine If you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
--------------------------------------------------------------------- She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilin' They spoke about the red man's way, and how they loved the land And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide
Down in the crowded bars, out for a good time, Can't wait to tell you all, what it's like up there And they called it paradise I don't know why Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high
Then the chilly winds blew down Across the desert through the canyons of the coast, to the Malibu Where the pretty people play, hungry for power to light their neon way and give them things to do
Some rich men came and raped the land, Nobody caught 'em Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus, people bought 'em And they called it paradise The place to be They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina just like the missionaries did, so many years ago They even brought a neon sign: "Jesus is coming" Brought the white man's burden down Brought the white man's reign
Who will provide the grand design? What is yours and what is mine? 'Cause there is no more new frontier We have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds, in the name of destiny and the name of God
And you can see them there, On Sunday morning They stand up and sing about what it's like up there They call it paradise I don't know why You call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye

The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go His welfare is of my concern No burden is he to bear We'll get there For I know He would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart Isn't filled with the gladness Of love for one another
It's a long, long road From which there is no return While we're on the way to there Why not share And the load Doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He's my brother He ain't heavy, he's my brother...

Actually, you were banned for spamming through PM's. You were actively recruiting members for realtechfieros of whatever it is called (just after it was renamed from "pennocksucks"). I don't mind you PM-ing contact information (like your email address, phonenumber and what not) to a few hundred members if that's what you want. I do mind when people use PM's to spam for an anti-PFF site.
No quick little "witty" response about this WhiteDevil88? Not like you at all..
This OT section has gone so bitter, so sour, so vindictive...so...NASTY, I can't bear to read it any more. And to be honest, I was going to just take a break until the Election was over...but in my heart of hearts, it won't stop then either...probably get worse. The absolute continual bombardment of rhetoric, of hate and bitterness is just too much. I used to love being here. I don't any more. I get no pleasure reading this vitriol, these cut and pastes of sheer virulence, sheer..HORROR..it is just too much. It depresses me so much. I get enough of it here in my REAL life..I don't need any more thanks.
It's like this on all message boards Nick, and it's not just because I'm on all of them.
Being totally... I mean TOTALLY unbiased here... the world's economy is in REALLY REALLY bad shape right now. The media tends to try to downplay some of it, but we're really in bad shape. There are many indications that we're really not far off from a world-wide financial depression.
So, with that said, people are VERY upset at the way the economy has gone. Regardless of how we got here, and how people think it should be fixed, or what "side" you're own... everyone is very concerned... so people have become VERY aggressive... obviously, myself included.
This is exactly how it was during the great depression, or at least the years leading up to it. I've read a lot of the news articles that preceeded the great depression... and then even the years following it, and it's almost like I'm reading news articles from present time.
History goes in cycles it seems...
Pretty sure any one of us would give their shirt off their back to help anyone else on here. I may ***** out people and call half the board stupid ****ing idiots, but I'd still bail them out of trouble ff they needed me. I've been doing this long enough that I know that most people on here have the ability to discuss topics very aggressively, and not take it personally.
Anyway, expect it only to get worse Nick.
I'm on several other boards... CrownVic.net, AtariAge.com, and a few others... and it's the same thing on all of them. Some of the boards have actually removed the O/T boards specifically for that reason.
fierofetish..this is a message board. Text on a screen. Is your psyche really that fragile?
I have no beef with you, and never have. I have no stake in either your decision to stay or to leave. But I do think it's kind of pathetic that you have spent three pages whining about what a victim you are.
6 posts in 3 pages, most of which were answers to other posts, and in a thread I started, and one of which was to post the lyrics of two songs is WHINING?? Wow!! I have no beef with you either, and as such I wouldn't post a reply like yours in a thread of yours either. Thanks...I think
I would just like to point out to all the Political 'cowboys' who ride in unannounced and uninvited,and start waving their parroted rhetoric around ON BOTH SIDES There is ONE person, and seemingly one person alone on this Forum, who has the integrity, commonsense, breeding and respect for others and their opinions.

really really,, I think you need to step off,, step back.. maybe everything is rubbing you the wrong way.. because your bent about your retirement issues.. and the family unit involved, and the home/land/govenor/mayor, issue and waiting on the other shoe to drop.. and are taking EVERYTHING PERSONALLY... could that have something to do with all this.. everyone including YOU.. post stuff thats ruff around the edges... and can be taken as rude.. but most let it roll off their sholders.... my words are blunt. and can be taken as rude.. I know it.. I don't try to hide the fact.. I can be an a hole like everyone else at times... again step back and reflect on what is REALLY bothering you.. cause frankly if your letting , post on a forum bother you THIS much... you need to address whatevers eating at you .. leaving here. won't fix it... even if you think it will good luck, and hope you stay.. political bickering.. may suck.. and for you suck even more as you don't live in the US of A... but at least.. people are talking about it, learning about whats going on.. and maybe not be so blind to what going on.. religion and politic's , I was always told that only fools ,talk about it.. well ,thats how the world.. got in this whole mess.. at least on the web people can talk about TABOO subjects and hear both sides and maybe make better choices.. than turning the blind eye.. cause frankly, we can't trust the media outlets to tell us the truth... we NEED to have debates/arguements/mud slinging.. as it opens the subject and forces most to research it more.. and thats NEVER EVER A BAD THING.. good day/night.. what ever it is on your side of the sun...

When you can do the same to him in a meer 20 words.
Look, one person may never really be able to understand what another person is feeling, or the reason why they feel that way, but what we can do is acknowlage that they do atleast feel it. When you really truely care, the why don't really matter. You just wanna' help.

So, now I have taken the dogs for a walk, and had time to think about your post, let us consider it in more depth. Hugh has had several threads whereby he was 'whining' (sorry Hugh, I understood ) about a certain member here...not a peep out of you then? Or how about your Father's distress caused by your sister? Whining? Don't think so, personally...but maybe you thought it so, but didn't post your thoughts there either? And then, the sweetest irony of all :

I have no problem with your thoughts, and will admit that 'Life' both now and in the past, has coloured my attitude. But doesn't it do that to us all?
Naw, I ain't nothin'. I'm probibly more screwed up then half the people here!
That's what makes you cool................. Both you and Nick are definitely on my would love to meet list. This forum needs both of you to help balance it out
