Looks like Bobby and Ferris got tagged!

Their posts are under the Guests group.

I would expect that the outing of posters was the straw that broke the Camel's back. And I applaud the management for doing so.

Personally, I don't mind much, but outting posters is Over the top.

It's nice to see some sort of law enforcement here. Even if I'm the next to get tossed.

I don't get this " guests " thing. Not going to spend a lot of time figuring it out.

This looks like liberal meddling. Mistakes have been made.

Had to save this one:

Guests

If there was a monitor here, I would have been tossed already.

This is a creepy and disappointing development.

Who was outed?

Aug 8, 2007 5:36 pm

They started off digging up information on Sexymadisoncetera and overall, people were relieved to be relieved of that posters posts.

But then they started looking into the names of other posters and using it to discourage their continued persence on the boards. They went after a couple of bank guys and Allreit and Devil's Advocate and who knows whom else?

The path to hell is paved with good intentions.

Ditto.  Glad to see at least some minimum standards enforced.  Please keep it up.

Still sore from the donuts comment?

Who are you, their lawyer?

Listen, they were big boys and they knew that what they were doing had a desired effect on the target and they pressed that advantage.

Jeff, sidebar comments if you will:

Have you seen much in terms of AGE brokers defecting for the indy channel?

Also, am certain you've read the Brookstreet cover story by now. Do you see any other small to medium firms in the same situation? Would guess if you do, the number of incoming "get me out of here" calls are increasing.

Apologies to anyone I may have offended in the past on this forum with snide remarks/sarcasm. See why I didn't want to post that MySpace.com link now?

Who am I? I'm the guy that is predicting that your identity will soon be revealed, that's who I am.

Oh I wouldn't stop being offensive, I couldn't if I wanted to (I do want to, but I know I can't so I gave up trying long ago).

Offensive is part of the game (and part of the fun, everybody laughs at Trimuph the Insult Comic Dog puppet even when we he's insulting someone from "our" side). But there is a self censoring line that we oughtn't cross.

This morning they were threatening to out Devil's Advocate(Putsy), and dropping hints about his identity.  I can only imagine what happened after that.

Why do they call him “Putsy”? What? Nobody knew how to spell Putz?
