Did no one else notice this? > [@](#): > > Originally posted by **OgreFade** : > > I have actually posted twice in the GQ to genuine answers that I would like answered. That is why I’m here. The other threads are simply because I was being ‘mundane and pointless’ and the other because I was just going to let everyone flame me so we could work it out. > > **The Urge** Name of **OgreFade** , signed **The Urge**. Proof enough? Besides, in the Pit thread he also blatantly threatened to flood the board with spam. If certain others get banned for even breathing the word “lawyer,” I think cyber piracy is reason enough to get you banned, n’est pas? Another question for **everyone else** : What _is_ the term for someone if they’re not a troll and not a sock puppet? Certainly there has to be something more creative than “moron?” Maybe I’ll post this elsewhere.

You can post that wherever you want. It was an intentional post. I was thinking of changing the profile on ogrefade… however. I just decided I’d let you know. I’d much rather be known as The Urge anyway. Also. I think tuba would notice an influx of the same IP address … She should have if she watches the server logs at all. If not. She can ban me if she likes. Its always been her perogative. If a double screen name is my only offence. I think I have a little slack coming. She can ban me whenever she wants… I just will think less of her character if she does it without a good reason. How about you call me The Urge… and stop all this crap so I can post? That was the whole point of this exercise… I wanted to post. I was just saying hi, I got jumped on. I asked for a link. I got jumped on. I asked the rules… I’m beginning to think you just don’t like me. I can deal with that. Treated unfairly. I don’t like dealing with that. Twice as a newbie… twice… I was ragged. Now think about this… ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by **The Urge** : > > Twice as a newbie… twice… I was ragged. Now think about this… Obviously you haven’t. If you want us to learn not to jump all over newbies, then tell us you’ve learned not to post in such an arrogant, self-serving fashion. We’ll call it even, and you can get back to posting. Nobody hates _you_; everybody here hates _idiots_. Let’s assume you’re not one, so stop acting like one. And that is meant in all seriousness, although rather inappropriately in ATMB. Apologies to the moderators if you want it elsewhere.

> [@](#): > > You can post that wherever you want. It was an intentional post. I was thinking of changing the profile on ogrefade… however. I just decided I’d let you know. I’d much rather be known as The Urge anyway. Also. What part of only having one user name don’t you understand? It’s grounds for banning. It’s that simple. > [@](#): > > I think tuba would notice an influx of the same IP address … She should have if she watches the server logs at all. If not. She can ban me if she likes. Its always been her perogative. If a double screen name is my only offence. I think I have a little slack coming. You don’t. The rules are clear. Plus you make a point to mention that you have the capability of harming the SDMB. That sort of statement has only one purpose in conversation, which is to intimidate those with whom you disagree. Many people would consider that being a jerk. > [@](#): > > She can ban me whenever she wants… Unfortunately, it’s slightly more difficult than just wishing you away. I believe her record is eight minutes, however. > [@](#): > > I just will think less of her character if she does it without a good reason. You broke a rule that specifically says that being banned is the punishment. That’s a _good reason_. Plus I’m getting down on my knees begging her. > [@](#): > > How about you call me The Urge… and stop all this crap so I can post? That was the whole point of this exercise… Some of us are mature enough to post without starting threads to antagonize anyone who disagrees with us. Either way, I have no interest in letting this moronic “exercise” end so you can post. I’m asking the administrators to ban you so I never have to stumble across your particular brand of whiney ignorance again on the pages. > [@](#): > > I wanted to post. I was just saying hi, I got jumped on. I asked for a link. I got jumped on. I asked the rules… And each time you got jumped on, somebody apologized to you, but you had already over-reacted and pissed others off by then. There’s probably around 500 regular posters here. If you can’t handle a handful of them jumping on you from time to time without going out of your way to antagonize as many people as possible you really shouldn’t be here. > [@](#): > > I’m beginning to think you just don’t like me. I can deal with that. Treated unfairly. I don’t like dealing with that. > > Twice as a newbie… twice… I was ragged. Now think about this… I don’t like you. I didn’t mind you at first, then you made an ass of yourself repeatedly. You were ragged twice, and both times your response was to insult the entire board to the point where you pissed more people off. Go away. ---

Okay, I was wrong, I admit it. He IS **OgreFade.** He’s gone right back to the whining, “why is everybody pickin’ on me?” mode. He had me fooled for a few posts, there. But the dead giveaway is that he’s ALSO gone back to the overuse of pointless ellipses, which are these dot thingies … and these … and these … ## Sorry to have wasted the board’s time in attempting to refute what turn out to be well-grounded conspiracy theories. **TubaDiva,** can I have first whack with the stick? “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!” - the White Queen ---

Hopefully without being too nosy, **TubaDiva** , you said in your post here that _both_ screen names were banned, but obviously only one was. Why is that? I’m not trolling to get him banned by any means, but I am curious if it was a typo or you had a change of heart.
