A minor correction, Uncle Beer- Anomaly claimed to work at the same place as Mark Serlin, not Nitwatch2.

Wait. Nitwatch2 **is** Mark Serlin.

Objection withdrawn.

P.S.- Credit also missdavis102 for noticing the Mark Serlin/Anomaly… anomaly, I guess.

May I also present evidence to show that on two separate occasion I witnessed the perfectly timed log on/log off/log on sequence between AOL screen names MarkSerlin and NitWatch with the assistance of my Buddy List.

Perhaps there has never been an object so erroneously named as in this case.

UncleBeer, Your Honor Sir,

May I say I am proud to know you.

I would like to add kudos to Diane, and John for their excellent observational powers.

It truly warms my heart to witness all of us pulling together.

These kinds of trolls are much harder to identify than Loverock or Kliroy et all, and it takes a good eye, and a keen mind to do so. My hats are off to you all. 🙂

Kelli, UncleBeer is the prosecutor.  
I’m the judge.  
Court finds the defendants guilty of all charges and hereby directs that Coventry be imposed.

Court is adjourned.

Do you people have NOTHING better to do than to suspiciously prowl about the board, lurking in the background like common thugs, trying to get ANYTHING on anyone who defends someone you don’t like? Have you EVER considered – not that it applies in this case – that MORE than ONE person can use the same computer under a different name in the same house? Have you also EVER considered that two or more posters – again not applicable in this case – just MIGHT know each other and communicate thru AOL IM to back each other up on this misanthropic, belligerent board. (Though, from what I can tell, it only seems to actually concern something like 5 or 6 posters who consider this public board as their own.) By they way, to comment on someone who stated that AOL is not all that well used, the last information I had is that AOL stock is rising rapidly and AOL is one of the top 4 ISPs in the business. In conclusion, when I post here, if you choose not to respond, by all means, please do not. Your opinions are not vital to my well being.

I am somewhat stunned by the simple fact that you all run checks on people. I never consider posters important enough to do that, but then, I guess my value system is better based than yours. I post to have some fun, and, if you note, I haven’t ripped anyone a new asshole, tracked them down through the net, insulted their intelligence or opinions nor made fun of their physical attributes.

So, please, refrain from responding to my posts. Only those less suspicious and much less bitter need respond.

You may not have done any of those things in this persona, but there are plenty of times where your special friends have done it.

Well, that’s obviously a lie.

I just read the OP.

… and …

If you take out all the defensiveness and yelling …

Well, let me put it this way. A therapist I used to go to once told me that the best way for you and your partner to enjoy each other in bed is to go after what gives **you** the most pleasure. Not to exclude your partner’s pleasure, mind you – by no means! But by each partner pursuing what is the most enjoyable and satisfying for him/herself, rather than worrying about what turns on his/her partner, each partner will let the other know what his/her most enjoyable activities are.

Of course, Mark’s phrasing in the OP sounded more like an article you might read in _Cosmopolitan_, punctuated by rantings about how you’re all out to get him.  
Oh, and lest I miss out on the fun, Diane wrote:

Diane! That is **totally** unfair to skanks!
