Ok, I hope I’m not overstepping a boundary, but I’m trying to find out if **Massive\_attack** was an aquaintance of mine… I’ve been telling all my friends about the SD, and one of them told me this morning that he finally posted… the tone of **Massive\_attack’s** anti-christian post was very much like what my friend and I have discussed before. He (MA) also stated in the thread that he had been banned for posting drivel once before. This is also something my friend would say, if only to confuse people. feel free to e-mail a response to this… what I’m looking for is confirmation that MA was a sock-puppet. That’s all. Thanks! ---

Tristan, you can always email one of the administrators in a situation like this especially if you think an email in response might, possibily be best suited for the potential answer…thereby also leaving suspicion and rumors away from the boards. Personally, that’s the best way to ask questions of this nature, but that’s just me. Just a thought. ---

Techchick’s 100% correct. Please send an e-mail to [Tubadiva@aol.com](mailto:Tubadiva@aol.com) and explain her what you know. We can then help you out by running IP checks and the like. I’ll close this thread. Both because I assume you have all the information you need, and because this sort of thread tends to bring out even _more_ unwanted critters sometimes.
