Oh come on.

Read the post you linked.


Gee. I posted them. Grumbled about them even. You figure I didn't bother to read them? Think again.

...he starts a site.....and posts on it under his usual alias while chatting with a bunch of friends....as the site begins to grow and think more seriously about going commercial he stops using his usual alias and posts only under the Ihub Admin Matt alias..... the third alias is just his real name, which he reserves so no one else can have it....but never uses.

OK. You have just provided an explanation for why the fearless leader of that site feels the need to have three aliases.

No problem, except he also claimed that a poster was terminated for having "multiple aliases." The poster in question -- I think, from reading the posts -- started a second alias because they terminated the first.

By the way, you're wrong about the "never uses" bit. He used all three regularly, at various times. But, that's just an aside.

What you have failed to do is offer an explanation for why he is allowed to have multiple accounts, but others are not.

The poster may have been terminated for just cause, but "multiple aliases" is not a just cause, given that FatMatt, Matt Brown and IH Admin (Matt) are one and the same.

I don't mind sites having rules, as long as the rules are the same for all.

I have no idea if the site will be good or if the backers are on the up and up, but what you have cited is evidence of nothing.

And precisely where did I cite anything as evidence? I said I was not liking what I was seeing. What I was seeing was a double standard.

I'm still seeing it.

As for the backers or the players at that site --- I personally don't care who they are.

Regards,

Will
