in the Problems and Bug Reports. The thread is called Participant Profiles. The jerk that called me a TROLL is some new moderator by the name of Gary Roberts. This guy is a total a$$hole! How the hell did he become a moderator? If I am a Troll, then you guys tell me and I'll just quit it all and go away. Dominique ID: 173619 ·  |

Wow. I very very seriously doubt your a troll. Maybe its just that he is on some sort of Power Trip and feels he can just label whoever he wants whatever he wants. I wouldn't worry about it. I enjoy reading your posts, no reason for you to leave in my eyes. Take care. Jeremy

I also saw that while reading the boards last night and to say the least I was floored. Although I don't talk in the cafe much and so don't know you very well, there is NO way that you could be seen as trolling. People are just so touchy some times =-( ID: 173630 · |

Please stop your trolling - it's quite pathetic. Please take up your "complaint" with Bruce. My Responce posted at E@H.... Gary I find it hard to believe that you are a Project Developer, Let alone a forum Moderator. 1. If your a Project Developer than you should already know about your new policies. And Believe me Mr & Mrs Anons Profile pic was not obscene nor offensive. When you looked at her profile and saw nothing wrong with it, and there was no picture further investigation directed at the person doing the censoring to see if Mrs. Anons picture was indeed obscene. 2. A forum moderator should know the difference between someone just upset about something and a troll. Your credentials are a fraud sir and you should crawl back under the rock you came out of.

Thats a sneaky way of scoring reject votes. Effective though :-) Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

Oh Mrs Anon, please calm down, it's ok. Make yourself a cup of tea and have a sit down (better still, get Mr Anon to make you one). You mustn't let people like that get to you. Gary Roberts seems perfectly OK and helpful most of the time, but he clearly prefers women to be vunerable and helpless and obviously can't handle an independent assertive woman like yourself. I'm sure if he thinks about it he'll realise he may have over reacted and said things in the heat of the moment that really shouldn't have been said. and no, I wouldn't have thought of you as a troll. [Edit] ooh, he's really getting a bollocking over there. It's like the seti@home mafia taking care of business. :-) Reality Internet Personality ID: 173658 · |

Sheesh... I followed your link because I thought it would point to a message board thread or something like that. Instead you made me vote on your behalf. That's not nice. A little hint like "click here to vote" would have been more like it. Regards Hans ID: 173665 · |

Hans, Mousing over Fuzzy's link clearly shows where it will direct you to if you click it. Maybe you do not have your computer set up that way. I don't know. But if you do then there is no need to get uptight about it. ID: 173670 · |

Yes, -link scrubbed- seems to have problems with women! I hope you detached yourself from the project imidiately! I would! Yikes! That'll teach me to click what I believe to be simply a link to a profile without checking the URL first! :o Here I thought I was following a link to some guys profile that is demeaning women. Low and behold, I found I've just voted to reject Gary's profile which has no objectionable content! Not cool Fuzzy... I think Gary was out of line at E@H, (starting to get a little mod power trip?) and I even posted at E@H that I didn't believe Mrs. Anon was trolling and that there was some questionable moderating going on. But your posting links that someone clicking in good faith only find themselves voting to reject his profile is pretty low. :( Linking to a profile is fine to allow someone to make their own decision, but forcing your choice on them via a direct link is wrong and extremely underhanded. It's a bit like someone posting a link to the minus button in a message in some thread. Only worse... The minusers are bad enough, now it appears we have a different breed. Do you really want people running around rejecting profiles on a whim as well? Or even better, doing as you have done and cause others to inadvertantly reject profiles as well? This is akin to phishing or scamming! Sending someone someplace unawares to do something they didn't intend. :( Regardless of what they have done, the kneejerk reaction of rejecting someone's profile is not a good way to get back at them. At the very least you should have made a warning that clicking the link will make you vote to reject the profile. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this post, but that was a lame thing to do Fuzzy. I'm extremely pissed off that you decided it best to take away my choice to vote or not, but I guess I share blame for blindly clicking the link... I'll be wary of your links from now on. My opinion of you has been lowered. I know we haven't conversed much so I'm sure my opinion means nothing to you, but I've always thought you levelheaded and fair. ID: 173673 · |

Yes, this guy seems to have problems with women! I hope you detached yourself from the project imidiately! I would! Click here too! [/quote] Standard feminist tactics, lies and misdirection instead of discussion of the real issues. And while Mr and Mrs Anon are frequently rude and offensive I wouldn't call them trolls.

Yep, I usually do that, especially when I'm not feeling safe. Regards Hans P.S: I'd probably have minused that guy anyway, so no harm done here :o) ID: 173687 · |

Reading the jerks last couple of posts over there at Einstein I see he's still on his high horse and I doubt he would even bother to apologize for his totally uncalled for post calling me a troll. Even though Prof. Bruce Allen many times comments in the threads it looks like he's staying away from this one. I'm writing him an e-mail and I'll be telling him I'll be quitting processing for Einstein unless I get a sincere apology from that moderator/developer. I just somehow feel that just isn't going to happen. Thanks to all who tried to point out Mr. Roberts stupidity. Dominique ID: 174029 · |
