Yes, I do - in fact, I had two. I changed my handle (legitimately) and then due to the Summer of our Missed Content, it was changed back to my original handle. I actually can’t remember the second handle I had, but all the posts made with it are gone now anyway.
I’d post who I was, I have nothing to hide, but there was some speculation going on and I’m interested in seeing if anyone figures it out.
For one so well-informed about minute details about long-vanished posters, you seem strangely unaware of the long-established rule against having more than one user-name, which is in itself a potentially bannable offence. Ban ZG! Ban the witch!
I don’t ‘have’ the old username. I don’t even have a way of verifying my identity so I could reclaim it. Plenty of posters have returned with new usernames after losing old ones without being banned, as long as they are clear about the reasons for re-subscribing. If a mod emails me, I’ll gladly tell them what my old handle was.
You sure are obsessed with me getting banned, though. Did I hurt one of your felching partners?
That’s a reasonable response to my somewhat rudely made point, and doesn’t come off as crazy at all. Given the implications of your username, I feel you’re misrepresenting yourself and request that ask to be banned.
A strange accusation for one who began his recent illustrious run in the Pit by heading up a post “Why hasn’t Poster X been banned?” Let’s just say I don’t like tro…glodytes who come in here flinging mud at others and then disingenously denying it.
The thread title was ‘Is lying a banning offense?’.
My response was not ‘Why hasn’t Poster X been banned?’, but ‘Is Poster X banned yet?’, which was in a response to another post categorizing the kinds of lies people tell here, and was meant to highlight the fact that other posters have been caught in lies and were not banned.
I also stated I did not have any personal interest in getting Ilsa banned…I was merely pointing out that other posters have been caught, it’s been brought up before, and they were not banned…so the implied answer to the OP was ‘No’. Aside from the entertainment value of when they are caught, I couldn’t care less about people lying about themselves, and personally I think they should only be banned if they were lying about professional credentials that they used to back up their statements.
I understand that when someone hears something they don’t like about someone they care deeply about, they often interpret it as an attack on said person. Ilsa was an example, not a ‘victim’.
No, that’s not the way it works. You email an admin with your problem and get the OK to start posting under a new username FIRST. Since you have two active usersnames, AND you have already had your free trial period, I’m banning this name.
No worries - he’s not.
I even bought ‘Shadow of the Past’ (by Tolkien’s son) to check Qadgop’s claim that Aragorn was previously a hobbit named Trotter who wore wooden shoes.
He was that short.
That was the name before Strider. Clop!
And in one draft, Trotter had wooden feet! Sauron had chopped off his original feet.
Thanks for defending me, glee! Question my medical credentials? No sweat! My patients do that daily when I refuse to give them the pain pills they want. But question my JRRT uber-geekiness, and I will pout!
