Care to share how you accomplished such a thing?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Were my new remarks posted, asking people to copy past Bill's response to this forum so I can read it?

Apart from your other points, I will note that the "invective filled hatchet job" comment was a joke because the review was written by Bob Crockett, who posts here. :pardon:

But I still stand by my points about "tone", even on the Bagley reviews.


Bill responds:

Ah, yes, tone. Now we move into the realm of the purely subjective. Which boils down to "My tone is purely reasonable, your tone is, well, ... you know."

That's weird. I posted my comment, only to find out that I was thread banned... but then noticed that it was still posted. So then I went back to the previous page, and posted again at the bottom quick post "reply to this topic" window.

It would have been a lot more fun if you had let them figure out how you were doing it. Sheesh!!

Mike, you shouldn't have told them how you did it. However, it may have been the wisest thing to do since the forces of MDD might have reached a toxic level, with their reasonable non-ad hominem attacks, figuring out how you did it.

Mike was smart to tell them. Had posters continued to post in threads after being thread banned, the response might have been board bannings.

eta: Would've been kinda funny though to see posters turning up all over threads where they'd been banned... Twilight music funny... and someone could have claimed Scratch's informant, a master email hacker, had moved on to message boards and was now taking control of MDDB. :lol: :lol:
