Jab > [@](#): > > So either John John is lying, or he is deliberately copying another person’s style. Only his hair dresser knows for sure. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. On a serious note.

Junior G-men haven’t clue one, but it’s cute to see you comicly flounder. No decoder ring yet boys. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa * * * Pas grande chose. ---

> [@](#): > > what is so bad about what he posted **here**? (bolding mine) You are lying through misdirection, again, John. You lost your Cyberian54 AOL account through Terms of Service violations nine months before _this_ site was opened (as you well know). No one is claiming that you posted as Cyberian54, _here_. We would just prefer that when someone calls you Cyberian, you would either ignore it or admit it, but stop the lying denials. * * * Tom~ ---

Hijack - ## Where have all these old posters gone? Ian, Quarterat, Dick, Phil. . . You turn me on. But maybe it’s because I just spent 20 years in the jungle, getting it on with anything I could attract with a piece of fruit. ---

Quarterat, Dick, and Phil still post to the old board and to mfsd; I’ve seen posts from all three of 'em in the last week. Saw IAN around SDMB2 last week, too. -Melin * * * **Voted Best Moderator (Emeritus)** ---

Melin, sorry I can’t seem to type today. My fingers must know it’s Friday and they want a day off. Where are those places that you mentioned in your previous post? SDMB2? Forgive my ignorance, I’m relatively new also. ---

I don’t know what SDMB2 is, either, unless it’s [www.fathom.org/teemingmillions/bbs.html](http://www.fathom.org/teemingmillions/bbs.html) **Arnold** , it was easy. On the “Proof John = Cyberian” thread, **Gr8Kat** provided the link to this one and I merely clicked on it and read this one. As long as the thread is not closed, one may post on it, no matter how old it is. **John John** is now saying those pictures **Opal** provided are not of the same guy. Incredible! * * * When all else fails, ask Cecil. ---

**SDMB2** is one of the old AOL sites (along with the original **General Questions** Forum). **SDMB2** was set up as a refuge when the decision was made to sever the ties between the Straight Dope and AOL. It is in the ACLU Message Board section of AOL (which has relaxed TOS regarding language and content). Ironically, while **SDMB2** was set up as a haven in case this MB did not pan out, AOL has decided to cancel all the ACLU boards, as well. OTOH, in the last 12 months, AOL has forgotten to actually purge the MBs from the servers, so they both continue to chug along. There is no way to enter **GQ** from AOL if you do not have a link, and the ACLU boards do not get much traffic, so they suffer from a lack of new blood. Their links have been posted here once or twice, but you need AOL access to get in, so there has not been a lot of back-and-forth movement between this board and those. (I’m not on AOL at the moment, so I don’t have the links to post.) * * * Tom~ ---

Whoops! My comment to **Arnold** belongs on another thread! * * * When all else fails, ask Cecil. ---
