Shades needs to comment here. The more I think about this the closer I am to being well and truly pissed, and I try not to get involved to that point on a board.
I agree that people are free to speculate about sock puppets but I'm personally against that as well. On this thread a previous handle was changed to honor a person's request and yet, he is left twisting. He too, speculated about a person's changed identity so where is the point at which admin edits a post from within for one person and leaves the other unaddressed?
Do you see what I'm saying, skippy?
I edited your quote.
Jersey Girl, who outed him? I am not following you? He just outed himself? How is he left twisting? He could edit his own post and not be "twisting" at all. He is the one that chose to bring this to the board. He chose to post a PM I sent him? I'm not following you.
Okay, tell me at what point you see that he outted himself. I'm not seeing it.
Well, you keep repeating his "name" on this thread tooo... I haven't in case he edits his OP and wants to remain anon.
He posted the PM I sent him... just a few hours ago... on this thread... on the board... Uh... What are you talking about?
I guess I was outed by some too... of course they kept that off the board. I've been outed on the board repeatedly and sent PMs to the people to ask them to remove it.

by the way, you continue to out him with every post you make....
I went back and read the OP more carefully and you're correct. He did confirm his identity. Glaring mistake on my part. Now let me ask you this. Did Liz confirm via IP to you who he was or not? I'm not asking if she shared the IP itself, I'm asking if she shared the confirmation with you.

I want to know what is going on with the above statement, Moniker. How did you edit my quote?

Jersey Girl, Liz told me who it was. I sent her a PM asking because I'd seen her say something on the board, "Welcome back..". Sort of the same thing I saw you do with another poster that you assumed was someone else. Liz confirmed that it was who I had suspected. She didn't say it was the same IP, but I knew that she would have checked that for confirmation. Because that's the only ways mods can confirm an identity. I won't post her PM on this board (or anyones for that matter) but she replied in the affirmative that it was definitely him.
