Who Wants To Be A Phaedrusaire?

Ayesha, Melin, anybody else who has adjured us against the practice, forgive me. I’m about to feed the troll. Again.

Manhattan, check out the fine print:

Keeping in mind that you are on this board, it appears you’re not going to be getting your mitts on the dough, either. So, where do you suppose the Phaedybucks are going to turn up?

KGB, for this post, I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume your existence as a separate entity from Phaedrus. With this in mind, I join the others who have addressed the issue in urging you to intervene for his safety with some insistence that he obtain professional help. He’s obviously delusional, and the quality of his recent posting suggests that his condition is deteriorating rapidly.

I have been kicking Mucus-Boy’s behind for many a moon.

All I want is the price of a bottle of Visene (sp?) eyedrops & a bottle of asprin. Looking at his posts have left me in severe need of these…

{{I have been requested by the administration of this board not to submit any evidence. I will comply with that request.}} Phaedrus

That’s odd. When something like that happens, we (the administration) generally write to all admins and mods, and let everyone know about it. Somehow my copy got lost in the mail, I guess.

Ed? Tuba? Did someone forget me?

I mean, you wouldn’t LIE to us now, would you, Phaedrus?

Does anyone else here smell sour grapes?

All I want is to keep kicking him.

After my first note to Phaedrus we exchanged a couple additional notes in which I asked him not to post his simulposting proof but to send it to me instead. I confess I didn’t CC all the mods on this, nor did I realize I was walking in on The $10,000 Challenge. In any case, I haven’t received the proof.

Huh.

Well, this does add a wrinkle.

I would say that clearly, in order to be fair to all concerned… Ed now owes Manhatten $10,000. Probably he should give Phaedrus $10K as well.

Don’t hold your breath, Ed.

What about Andros? Didn’t he say he got a harassing email from Phaedrus too?

“Who Wants to Be a Phaedrusaire?” What a boring show idea!

I mean, the questions are sometimes thought provoking, though often banal, and that entire run of self-referential ads for a third of the broadcast time right in the middle of the show gets to be a little much…but who wants to have the show sign off before they give any of the answers!

Not that it really matters in the grand scheme of the universe, but, Ed, why did you ask Phaedrus not to post his proof to the board?

I suggest that anyone claiming the prize has to simulpost to this thread at 4:30 EST.

Gaudere and Clark K- you’ll have to split your share, what with your being the same person.

Ed said:

I’m a little confused. I thought that the crux of Phaedrus’ assertion that Gaudere and Andros were one in the same was the evidence of a simultaneous posting would disprove him. Hence the 10K offer.

Is Phaedrus now saying that his evidence proving that Gaudere and Andros are the same is a simultaneous post?

Oh, my head.


Will work for sig line.

Felice, Ed is probably assuming Phaedy’s ‘evidence’ contains data of a personal nature which Gaudere, andros and Clark may not want released in so public a place. Sounds like a reasonable precaution to me, which I must admit I hadn’t really considered until you asked your question.

If that’s the case, good call, Mr. Zotti.

What sort of personal information could Phaedrus has gotten from the ‘net? If he has any personal information on me, he is obsessed (not that I don’t think so already)and has either hired a detective or is stalking me on his own. If he has done that I bloody well want to know! I would like to see Phaedrus’ evidence my own self, instead of having him email it to various and sundry total strangers. (Note: I do not want Phaedrus to email me. I would like to know what “evidence” he is currently raving about, so a fwd from Ed would be appreciated, should this “evidence” ever turn up. I think I have a right to know what information Phaedrus has dug up about me; this is getting very creepy)

Okay, that makes sense, Unc. But if Gaudere, Andros, Clark K et all maintain that they are NOT the same individual, and that therefore Phaedrus cannot have any evidence that they are, then they should, logically, not object to him posting that evidence publicly. Since he hasn’t got it, I mean.
Oh, dear. This whole thing is making my head hurt. I think I shall go lie down and have a cup of tea.

Just for the record, I’d like to point out that Gaudere and I just simulposted, so clearly I’m not her.


Felice

Now, I aready explained how you can simulpost. Therefore this clearly proves that you are me. Stop this sham, “Felice” and admit you are me!

(chuckle) No, if it’s all the same to you, I think I’d rather be Clark K. I always wanted to be a super hero. And since you are he (him?) then, logically, it IS all the same to you, right?
Is that okay with you, Clark? I mean andros?

Oh, and somebody else asked if Phaedrus and MikeylikesIT are the same. Since this is, after all, how the ‘psychosis’ thread got started, I don’t think so. Yes, Mikey was Finder and Formeragent, and GigoloMan. But Phaedrus (who is also KGB) has an entirely different set of psychoses.

In my opinion, for what that’s worth.
