**BIG OT**

Jimbo, was looking around, "worrying" about yousef and pAUL,
take a look at this:
reply #77953 AMD thread
Message 11736519
Message 11736519

Appears pAUL's initial rant is gone?

techfirm.com

If "I" disappear, I'll get in touch from the great beyond somehow.
:o)

I'll repost cirruslvr here which contained pAUL's rant which has disappeared.

Paul - RE: "SI and HOTMAIL have provided me with your IP addresses for all 3 aliases - confirming that you are the one that has been sending the harrassing private messages and e-mails.
I understand from SI administrators that you have been sending these to others as well.

Your bluffing is a little late !

Too bad it took you until the FIFTH mention of your OTHER PHONEY ALIASes to finesse the bluff - a little late wouldn't you say, eh Cringe - the Anonymous e-mailer COWARD ?"

First of all, I recieved a PM from this "hoping2" person on Oct. 25.

Here is the full text of his message, my reply, and his reply -

"Hoping2"'s original message to me:

To: Cirruslvr
From: Hoping2

Hi! You should ask Elmer if he has any thoughts on Ace's or Tom's Coppermine reviews where Coppermine tends to lose. Ask him about Tom's 3dmarkmax scores. Or perhaps he'd like to comment on Ace's stream scores or even ace's q3 scores. Actually, basically all of Tom's tests show Athlon winning so I'd like to hear Elmer's thoughts. But I'm not a paying member. :(
____________________________________________________________

MY reply:

____________________________________________________________

Hey,

I just read Tom's review, so I'll see. Elmer seems to ignore the benchamrks in which the AThlon blows away P-Anything.

If you could send me a private message, you should be able to post to the AMD thread...

"Hoping2"'s reply to that message

"I just read Tom's review, so I'll see. Elmer seems to ignore the benchamrks in which the AThlon blows away P-Anything."

Yes, he definitely does this. At this point he's just trying to irritate, IMO.

"If you could send me a private message, you should be able to post to the AMD thread..."

Seems as though private messages are "free." I've had other people tell me the same thing so perhaps this is a recent change that they made, or maybe I'm just lucky. :-)

After that reply, I didn't bother to reply because I sensed something weird. In the past, with the Old SI, NO ONE could access members's personal info (when you click on "Cirruslvr" for example) UNLESS they were a member. Because of what I thought was still true, I suspected this person was bogus because because they sent me a PM, but they claimed they couldn't post to the actual thread and that didn't jibe with I knew. Maybe the new SI allows others to access personal info. I don't know.

Paul, when did you recieve PMs from these names?

Who else has recieved PMs from these names?

If you have, would you mind posting here or PMing me what they wrote. Maybe we can compare writing styles.

I did a people search for "hoping2" and "nothing91" and nothing came up.

How can I get in contact with SI administrators?

You say the IP addresses match and that is completely MIND-BLOWING, and very scary.

Paul, I have NEVER written you a PM.

I hope the fact that this person wrote ME a PM shows I'm not this person.

Sorry for my thoughts being out of order, but this accusation is making my mind go all over the place.
