I have a serious question about Andy Ray

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Andy Ray was once on the list of banned trolls. Why is he no longer there? just curious.

Butt, Did he become a doomer? Fondly,

Because he kept complaining about being on the list, to the MIT President, et. al., including Philip Greenspun, and Philip asked me to take him off the list with the proviso that AndyRay would NEVER again contact him, or the others at MIT, or post here, again, otherwise Philip would block his ISP.

That's why.

It's very simple, for the other four, to get off that list. Quit posting here. Duh.

It's a big, big net out there. They all engaged in repeat spamming and DOS attacks on this forum. That childish, disruptive action will get someone banned. They all crossed the line in netiquette behavior.

Great, does that mean we can now block posters by their ISP?? That would be a great help.

Brett,

Philip can, if the need arises. We try not to bother him, unless it does. Recently, I have asked that of him. He may be on vacation before the new MIT school term starts in Feb. Will talk with him directly soon.

Well, isn't that Speeeeeeeeeecial! Andy Ray gets his name off the hit list. Greenspun must think you are all nuts!! I'm sure if you all keep contributing to his cause, he'll keep the lights on.

Mr/s Sausage Head (Polska@Kielbasa.com),

Actually, I think Mr. Greenspun thought Andy Ray was nuts. For the record, Mr. Greenspun was quite right about that, too. Smart man, Mr. Greenspun. With the Debonkers continuing their SPAM MIT campaign, Mr. Greenspun probably thinks a certain forum should change its name to "The Nut Factory" or "Chock Fulla' Nuts"...Hint: It's not this forum.

In answer to the original subject: I think several people have had serious questions about Andy Ray. (Must've been a MEME. A TEAL-COLORED MEME. A BIG OL' HONKING TEAL-COLORED MEME!!! Yeah, that's the ticket!)
