I’m not sure why proving that IP addresses are meaningless data points make it “not look good” for me.
So the guy who assures everyone that IP addresses are "meaningless data points," unless of course they are combined with other information, wants access, "for just 90 days!" to everyone's IP addresses.
Lem: you’re not equipped to have a conversation about IP addressing, clearly. Take a step back and stop being angry because I called you out one time.

To be clear, I’ve never said anything about “access” to anything. I want to be a mod because I’m a socialist and I like “the state” and I want to contribute to it.

Neither Shulem nor Sledge have ever sought to attack or censor me. They have behaved politely and responded courteously. Seems like admirable qualities in a pair of moderators. In many ways, it could be considered a melding of the Yin and Yang.

That's very kind of you to include me in high esteem. Thank you for the gesture.

And you are because you helped your daughter study for a routing and switching Cisco exam? That's hilarious. :lol:

You've used that technique of calling other people "angry" repeatedly, as a way to the to shift attention away from your nonsense.

So, since you brought it up again, you are the one who trolled me about the plagiarism thread that is well known and well attested to, and which you yourself know about, and you are the one who has repeatedly called me angry for no reason over this issue, other than to distract from your trolling of me over it.

You are the one who is a friend of Peterson, who is pretending to not know about the multiple instances of his plagiarism, fully documented on our site. Your game playing and trolling has fully disqualified you from being trusted in a moderator position.

If your work uses a static IP address, and you post from there, it wouldn’t be too hard to sleuth out your in real life and cause problems. Someone with mod powers could send a msg to your work, with whatever they deem problematic, attach your IP address, and then the rest is what it is. An unethical mod could use IP addresses harvested from this site, and then do whatever illegal crap they want online, and it’d be traced back here. Also, and I’m open to being corrected, but I think your port is associated with your IP address, and something something hacking potential.

The bottom line is Sledge stated his intention to Shades with a threat against the site, so I’d be surprised if he brings Sledge on board as a mod.

There is not way Shades is going to make Sledge a moderator. It won't happen. Everybody quit worrying about it.

The above represents a fundamental misunderstanding of how IP addressing, routing, and switching work. Pay it no mind.

Oh hell no. That is a blatant lie. What are you talking about? I’m only trying to assuage any fears that an IP address can be used to determine someone’s identity. (It can’t).

You know how to Google. Good job.

And yes, that qualifies me to talk about the basics of how IPs work.

Here you’ve made a claim. Can you back it up? Have I called anyone on this board angry except for you, and only in this one instance? Show us you aren’t just lying—post a link to me calling anyone else angry.
