Nice try and valid for many other posters. **Sam Stone** is a great example of where reading other opinions is worthwhile. You, we just point and laugh at. You are pathetic. ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > I’ll give **Martin Hyde** this, he was a good troll and actually very knowledgeable in many areas and great at researching others. Despite his bluster about how clever he was in trolling us, it was clear that this place meant a lot to him. The guy averaged a thousand posts a year for 18 years, and many of those posts were factual and informative. All the talk about the declining entertainment value of the boards reads more like self-soothing rhetoric to make up for getting kicked out of a club he was glad to be a part of. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > There are things I could say that would doxx me, so I don’t say them. I noticed you saying something like this before recently. But I thought at the time you are always talking about your business and home life. I’m 99.99% sure that if someone wanted to identify you, they could do it by studying your posts. Doesn’t your username even reflect your business? ---

Nope. I keep the specifics of my business “secret” for several reasons. If I mention it, boom, I’m doxxed. Plus, I don’t want to talk about the specifics. If I mentioned that I ran a bakery, I’d end up talking about baking all the time. Bake for 30 some years and you’re gonna reach a point where you are sick and tired of flour. ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Doesn’t your username even reflect your business? I love boating. Spent hundreds of hours in kayaks, sailboats, runabouts, pontoons, etc. It’s what I like, not who I am. I drink more than most people and I burn a lot of weed. But that’s not who I am. I love the blues. I love my gf. My kids are my most precious part of my life. But I know plenty of people all of the above applies to. ---

Heh, nope. I have a friend who does that, and also happens to share two hobbies with my gf’s ex husband, opera and hockey! ---

We’re in the Pit you loser. As you well know you can get away with trolling here and I can get away with calling you a waste of carbon. But keep making BS accusations so we have more to laugh at. ---
