Hello to all - I nominate the Thread Moron 'lentils' - aka 'Bean Boy - the fool'

Has anyone else enjoyed having 'lentils' for company? A few weekends ago he sent me around 20 harassing PM's using five concurrent SI trail membership aliases. As it turned out SI Admin told me that he had NINE SI trail membership aliases (see below)!! Is that a record?

Anyhow - I complained - he got canned - but the fool signed up to SI as a paid member under the alias '1entil' (substituting the number '1' for the letter 'l') on 1 July. He then proceeded to made two posts on 5 July - I complained again - and he hasn't posted since to SI - not sure if he got canned yet again? Was the sign up fee still $125 on 1 July - or had it gone up to $200 by then? If he did get canned (again) and if he paid $125 then that's $62.50 per post :-(

Has anyone else here enjoyed having 'Bean Boy - the fool' aka 'lentils' pay them a visit? His favourite mode of posting is via PM's.

Respectfully,

David in Ontario

Dear Fool [ 'lentils' ]:

Ah - you're back again with you drivel - I've been waiting. So - you use NINE SI aliases - ignoring SI's offer to honest people to sign up for trial subscriptions - so you help yourself to NINE - using nine Yahoo and Hotmail e-mail addresses!!

You have said publicly in the past that you use multiple aliases here at SH - so do you have NINE aliases here at SH as you did at SI? Makes it very easy to get a 2,3,4,5,6,7,8+ way conversation going on any particular thread doesn't it! Great way to spin a line about an investment strategy. Problem is that decent and somewhat na‹ve people associated NINE SH aliases with nine people - not just one - that's you idiot.

So now you're back posting to SH's NIR forum. Why? You're a fraud. I'm now going to follow you around SH's threads again - you know how much I like doing that - thanks for giving me another opportunity to show everyone what a scam artist you are.

This e-mail serves as an FYI to everyone else at SH to be aware of twerps like you.

It took you just one day to get more Yahoo or Hotmail e-mail addresses and to sign up AGAIN to SI - and continue sending me Private Messages. Why send me almost 20 PM's last weekend - some of a disturbing nature? Don't you have anything else to do?

As a result of your blatant disregard for everyone else - SI is considering barring people with Yahoo or Hotmail e-mail's from signing up for trial subscriptions to SI.

You're a selfish twerp.

David in Ontario :-)

Ps. Here are two (of 4) recent e-mails between myself and SI's webmaster. The SH Administrator and I have also corresponded very recently about you :-)

To: SI Webmaster
From: SI alias: David in Ontario

27 June 1998

Dear SI Webmaster:

Q. Why do you allow people who have signed up for a trial membership to send Private Messages to paid up SI members?

In my opinion the privilege of sending a message - public or private - to an SI member should be afforded only to SI members.

Take my case for example. I have this guy who goes by alias of 'lentils' on the Canadian Stockhouse site - sending me an endless stream of PM's. Since I have been here at SI (17 May) he has signed up for FIVE SI trial memberships! It appears that his sole intention is to send PM's to people he disagrees with. Here are the aliases he has used to send PM's to me:

Alias - SI Visitor Since - Date of a PM to me

Lentils - 20 May - 11 June
lentils - 25 June - 26 June
lentil - 5 June - 12 June
- 21 June
- (signed up again) - 21 June
lentils2 - 27 June - 27 June

I would be grateful if you would consider barring him from repeatedly signing up (may use the same e-mail or have multiple e-mail addresses).

I would also be grateful of you would permit only paid-up SI members the privilege of sending either PM's or public messages to other SI members.

Yours sincerely,

David in Ontario

Personally, I'd prefer that non-members not be able to send private messages except to me. And I've made that preference known. We'll see if it changes.

Turns out that character had 9 accounts. All de-activated now.

Do you have any idea who it is? If I find that it's someone who also has a paying membership, their account will be terminated.

Regards,

SI Admin (Bob)
