Mr. Wilson, I know who you are, and where you work, as I work with you. Please send me an interoffice email immediately, as you are putting your life in danger.

Anyone and everyone who had contact with FORMERAGENT, please list whatever he said, by person, neatly and orderly, as I need to know what was said.

Hey, **Ed** , can we ban this yutz’ whole ISP, or would that be too disruptive to others?

To c&p my post from the “You’re not as smart” thread:

Jesus Mary Joseph…

Why do I suddenly feel like I’m in a bad Arnold Schwartenegger movie??

And Finder:

Well, I would hope you work in the same building as yourself. Be kinda hard to do the double personality thread thingy otherwise. (Yes folks…let’s all guess who I think Finder REALLY is!) Anyway…I’m tired of playing. Go away now, please.

And FTR, I live in DC…so I know government types. (Government contractor, in fact.) Most couldn’t hide a secret if you handed them a safe.

And gaudere? Wanna start a betting pool? I say…6 hours before he gets banned. Any other takers?

Please refrain from any further derogatory comments in my direction, sir/ma’m, as I have no knowledge of the events of this day, but rather have been asked by superiors to look into matters regarding a fellow employee.

Your comments are neither welcomed, or warranted. Assist me in this matter, or remain silent.

Uh…Finder, that’s pretty easy. You go to your profile - I mean, HIS profile, of course- and click on ‘find all posts by this member’.

Tracer- you’re a government contractor? In Washington, DC? Gee, now, that’s hard to believe.

I say two hours, but…howzabout Coventry? (I know, we’re all sick of that word now) I know it’d be tough, though, this is _such_ fun, but I am tired of all these little trolls. Coventry until he decides to talk like a more or less normal person, not a SuperDuperCoolG-Man.

Hey, Falcon. Can I get in on the pool? If so, I say that he’ll never be banned. Hell, FA wouldn’t wanna piss off anyone enough to get a **second** screen name banned, or would he?

Oh, and Finder? You are a liar when you pretend to be a concerned co-worker. So stop it already.

I know, Felice…amazing, ain’t it! 😉 Sorry…was trying to forestall the argument of “you live in DC, but don’t know government people” from Finder/FormerAgent/whatever. Alas, it only made me state the obvious.

And look…at least he got the ma’am right this time! I’m impressed. Gaudere…I think I might have to revise my bet here. I say 4 hours now.

May I ask why you all are acting in sarcasm and disrespect? As I have seen on many of your boards in my search, you are all quite rude. From whom, or where did you all decide that you could in fact be so blatantly discourteous to those around you all?

And in reply to the snide remark above, I am nto a concerned co-worker, I am a person whose job it is to monitor the traffic of information correct or not from this building, and by whom.

So would it be better to state in fact ,that this is a semi-manhunt on the internet. As the person speaking to you, has done so from 7 different locations in the last 30 minutes, and seems to be drawing the interest of certain officials, as his rhetoric may be dangerous.

I am? Wow! I’ve only had my resume out there for a couple of hours, and already I’m getting hired by the government on the other side of the country!

Hey, wait a minute … I don’t remember interviewin’ for that job!
