That would make you a whore. If you were a slut I'd know about it by now.

TMI!  Forget TV-G; I think we're well into TV-14 territory now.

I'm sorry that Chuck G. got banned(though it wasn't my decision), and that people who didn't want their name brought up were brought up by me, even if it wasn't meant to offend anyone. Chuck G. was a part of this community, even if he didn't post until these past couple of times. This kinds of reminds me of that "mystery poster" we dealt with on Usenet in 2000 and 2001 that came there to talk about a time the person met me in 1999 in a chat room and supposedly in person, and this "mystery poster" person NEVER posted anything else other than bashing myself and a few others. That having been said, it is nice not to see all the bashing that was done to people on Usenet who often didn't deserve it(of which I and some others here were guilty)

My thoughts on the Gibson matter:

I found ATGS via Google in August of 2002.  One of the primary reasons I never posted there was Chuck Gibson and his constant, pointless bashing of other posters, not to mention the general blood-on-the-floor atmosphere that was ATGS at that time.

I, for one, am glad that his act was silenced here.  Kudos to the mods for having the courage to tell the bully to take his flamethrower and go home.  Hats off to ya!  :-)




As for GSN, I hardly watch the channel anymore.  And I can't say that I miss it.

[quote name=\'clemon79\' date=\'Feb 14 2004, 01:50 PM\'] I checked back once, at the old ATGS, and I remember finding a string of three months where he posted almost daily, and NOT ONE POST was topical, they were all "STFU" or "go away"-type flames.

 Not that it really matters, but how much of that was really him?  There's enough bogus addresses flying around Usenet (not to mention how easy it is to imitate the tone of a Blitzkrieg post) that leads me to wonder whether it might've actually been Harvey or Grant doing all of the posting (G-d knows they certainly have enough time on their hands to pull it off ;-D).

It's all water under the bridge anyway, but just some food for thought nonetheless.

 That's a good point.  I'd hate to think that people looked at the various "matt _ottinger" Yahoo or Hotmail accounts and actually thought any of that was me!

 The ATGS posts from Blitz, Zinkin, Ottinger, and a couple others since December 2002 were from people posing as them(and they didn't do a good job impersonating them).

 Point taken, but I'm referring to those posts that were specifically Chuck Gibson's. As Zach said, the imitators were easy to discern.

That's Chuck Gibson.

Calling you a whore is like telling your girlfriend her butt is big.   You know it's true, it's just that you're afraid to say anything.  With that aside, YES, you ARE a whore. :-)
