I feel a bit uncomfortable discussing a member's access patterns when he himself not raised the issue with us,
Horse shit. I have raised and re-raised it with you, just not in YOUR chosen medium.
but it appears that several members are becoming concerned, based on a misleading impression, and the staff feels that by remaining silent, we are assenting to a falsehood that defames our due diligence or intentions.
Your due diligence has now turned to outright lies, demonstration of said lies to follow...
I feel I can provide enough information, without unduly violating HF's privacy, to indicate to HeroicFool, whoever made the post at TK,
One and the same nimrod. If you won't believe me then believe the friends that I have on your staff. You are being deliberately obtuse to return to a slogan I used so long ago on the slipstream... Intentionally ignoring what is directly in front of you. You are only doing this in order to force me to YOUR will. Fuck off and die.
and concerned Ex Islers that this can be resolved through facts at hand, which I feel should be good news at all
Er... to all maybe? This might resolve things for the feebleminded among the EI members, but then you already have those ass kissers firmly in your camp anyway.
Short form: as covered in my original report to the staff, there was NO indication of an attempt to log into the HeroicFool account in May or June, prior to the Duncan application. Only after.
That is an outright lie. No getting around it. I tried several times to login Heroicfool the VERY first time I went to Ex Isle. And no, that was NOT before I started posting again here at TK. TK was my first stop on the net and Cait caught me within minutes of my return.
Based on his ISP and method of access, I also checked a range of well over 100,000 IPs that were even *close* to his pattern of IP usage in the 100+ posts he made since his return.
Well.. That sure narrows it down doesn't it... Anything even close must be me. Fucktard.
Due to the nature of his access, Our server has rarely ever had a hit from those IPs.
Indeed, no one has ever used a cell connection before or after I have. All those fucking cards and modem phones that the various cell phone providers sell sit gathering dust on the shelves, except for the ONE I bought. Orpheus is planting all this sort of traffic at my doorstep apparently... How empirical and stuff.
There was exactly *one* visit in May/June prior to the attempt to register Duncan -- the result of a Google search at 15
35 EDT, June 11 on an unrelated topic which is not relevant there. The logs say he "left" (either closed that window or jumped directly to a bookmarked/typed URL) without clicking any link or doing anything else on EI during that visit, so I cannot definitively say that that one single page visit was HF, though the circumstantial evidence is strongly suggestive.
Also utterly impossible. I did not own this computer or the cell connection that I do now at that point. I bought this laptop computer less than a week before I re-entered cyberspace. That week was spent getting my new modem capable cell phone and getting them properly configured. If you want copies of the receipt, I'm sure it can be arranged... Before that I had NO computer at all. None. Not for two years.
It would certainly explain what reminded him of "forgotten" Ex Isle, as he is alleged to have stated.
WTF does that even mean? Do you have anything approaching a point here?
On the next access, and all subsequent sessions, he performed at least one action (e.g. a linkclick), which was enough for the server to definitively tie the accesses to HF/"Duncan".
I find this highly doubtfull since I come in from a different cell tower every day. That changes the IP quite alot, especially when those cell towers are hundreds of miles apart. I drive a truck remember asshole? I cover 5 or 600 miles a day on a good day. So the range he is searching for must be quite large indeed.
In that next session (beginning 23
59 EDT, June 19), he arrived at the front page as a guest, spent 1 min 18 sec reading it, then performed a search (completely unrelated to his own account), and then clicked the link to begin the process of registering Duncan at 23
16.
Indeed? So that search took from 23
17 until 23
16? Two minutes give or take a second. Hmm... Slow shit you have there Orph. It doesn't take that long to search Caitriona to see what she's been up to over there recently. Whether your due diligence shows it or not I had no intention of trying to view threads as a guest. I absolutely abhorr your white color scheme and I tried to log on almost immediately upon being blinded by that ugly shit. The storm theme is slightly better, but it's still no SS. You are now deliberately misleading people or you are incompetent. I doubt it's the latter. BTW on that date I was in Lodi California, for future reference... The good thing about being a truck driver is that I keep better records than even your little snoop programs Orph.
He did not first attempt to log into his account,
Patently untrue.
but the topics of the search he performed just before registering as Duncan and other searches he conducted over the next few days, suggest a motive for his not wanting to use the HeroicFool account.
I searched posts by and about myself, Cait, and Pippa aka Lady Midnight, aka Arwen. What was my motive asshole? You're the fucking mind reader.. please TELL ME. One of them was to find out what went down after the SSU debacle. That's where I found that nifty G8767 quote for my signature BTW...
However, information he gained in a later search would have voided this motive, and it may be more than coincidence that he then logged in as "himself".
LOL, you are so talking out of your ass...
You are assigning motives based on searches that have meaning to only myself. That you think you're that clever or prescient is a prime example of why you should not be in charge of anyone. Tell me... How many times did I try to log in Heroicfool before I finally got the right password? or does that not fit into your little diatribe?
Certain key points in his browsing activity *after* logging in as himself offers data to reinforce this hypothesis.
Oh do tell...
If you have evidence then bare it for ALL or shut the fuck up. Giving us your conclusions based on evidence you can't or won't reveal to the public does not bolster your arguement, instead it builds a foundation on shifting sands. It's already been shown that you're steering this in a direction that your own biases have piloted. You were and are looking for a pre-determined conclusion and you're molding the "facts" garnered from your spy software to bolster your POV, not to objectively find out what was going on.
If this was indeed his motive, it is unfortunate that he did not contact us first, because I, for one, would definitely have sympathized with his concerns, and could easily see the staff accomodating him.
Oh really? How would you have helped me fuckstick?
Would you have asked a few questions that only heroicfool could know the answer to? What questions would those be? Because you see, with a defunct e-mail account attached to my EI account and a forgotten password I could have been ANYONE trying to get access to HF's account. How exactly would you have verifiied it was me? You sure as hell won't accept the mountain of evidence that it's me posting at TK right the fuck now will you?
Suck my balls.
However, the Guidelines (which he browsed) are very clear, in multiple places, that *attempting* to create a dual will not be tolerated; the "Guest" front page says this in bold above the forums, along with instructions; and it is near the top of the Terms of Registration as well.
Don't give a shit. This is a dead horse, stop beating it. I have already acknowledged that I broke your precious rule. Whether I had knowledge of that beforehand is completely irrelevent. I DID IT ASSHOLE!!!!
That does not merit a ban.
As I have said in this thread, and in similar threads in the past, our respect for the privacy of each member --a discretion that protects all of us-- often puts us as a disadvantage in publicly defending our decisions.
You can post the entire log on the front page of EI for all I give a shit, in fact I invite you to do just that. Then maybe we can ALL see the damning evidence you hint at repeatedly. If there is such evidence I can explain it in a realistic manner instead of with a slant that makes me look like I showed up one day after two years and my only thought was to register a dual to TERRORIZE you all with.
Fuck off...
Like I don't have other concerns in my life than thinking about getting my revenge on EI for two years. Dude, you really need some perspective, your paranoia is completely out of control.
We have a substantial body of data which we do not feel at liberty to post publicly.
Once again hinting at evidence that either does not exist or can be adequately explained if it was revealed. Yet you won't reveal it because of MY privacy concerns.
I'll tell you what I WILL e-mail you if you publish that horse shit in its entirety so I can show you for the fuckwit you so obviously are.
The one person with a direct interest in this matter has, unfortunately, not chosen to contact us, and that is the only person with whom we can deal.
Yeah baby, and you WILL deal with me. One way or another.
Since I am informed that HeroicFool was an Admin at Slipstream Underground, he must have some idea of the detailed analysis that can be gleaned from server logs. Therefore, I hope he will feel assured that we would quickly be able to verify any justification, and reinstate his account if warranted.
Utter horse shit too. You can verify or you can manufacture more stories about how you see my mind working on any particular date.
I would like to personally assure him that it would not become a "He said, we said" subjective debate of his credibility, but a simple matter of reviewing logged data. If we have overlooked or misinterpreted anything --not impossible, when analyzing gigabytes of logs-- a few key bits of trivial information from him might resolve the confusion, and he would have my apologies.
That's the first sensible thing you have said.
Now if only you had done that BEFORE unceremoniously banning me from EI we'd actually be communicating directly right now.
Fucking idiot.
