    Why would anyone send rewired an abusive message? (S)he doesn't even post anything!
    well that's what mewbie did - called him a to$$er apparently.

    there's posts from mewbie and his other aliases around to say this.

    here's what he says on the "other side" about what he's been up to on here...

    Sorry it took so long to 'come over'. I knew this board would be a smaller, friendlier board than the MSE House Price thing, and making friends, sharing confidences is not really my internet, or possibly, real-life persona. I got hooked into the thanking, ego, funny, flaming posting on MSE by accident really.

    So firstly an apology if anyone thought I was 'ignoring' this board.

    Secondly - what happened to me on MSE? As if anyone would care - but I'll tell you anyway. I took it too far, thought I was invincible, after all those jokes about mods editing my posts, etc. First thing that happened was I received a PM warning. So I published it in a thread. Swiftly after that I received another warning. And almost immediately I was unable to log into the House price board. I could log in, but couldn't Reply to anything, or access my PM's. So I set up some AI's to hassle who I viewed as the culprit, the source of my anger and annoyance. It's a single poster who uses a multitude of ID's - if you don't know who then I am not going to bother pointing it out.

    Anyway, after using my AI's - MissDBoat, PoorYoric, Mrs.Sippi - (oh yes I was having 'fun'), all of a sudden IP address blocked. At home and at work. Threw me until the evening when I discovered proxy servers.
    the poster with the multitude of aliases is me apparently - he even went out of his way to set up multiple user id's just to 'hassle' me.

    it happens now and will continue to go on.

    i'm cool with it but it's all a bit pathetic and sad that a grown man has to go to these lengths over a stranger on the internet.

    I've given up reading all the "fiddling with figures" thats been going on for some time - that all starts getting a bit "technical" to me...(putting it politely).

    Gut reaction - exacto. Its a Depression.

    What? "Are you coming to bed". No wonder they asked you politely to move on...
