FYI - last night was my 1st post on that thread & as I said I have not been responding to the other 2 for over 3 weeks now.
My last post on the matter was made 20/6 pg 12 of this thread.
Just to set the record straight

Please don't include my name with the other 2 again, Thanks

Sincere apologies, Smithy, for unwittingly misrepresenting you - it is true that you have exercised admirable restraint over that time... Embarrassed

I also checked for my older posts - and found some of them on this on this thread from 19/6...

Equally sincere apologies to Lisa, for singling her out last night - the reaction was understandable... Kiss

Lamenting the shift in the Australian psyche, away from the egalitarian ideal of the fair-go - and the rise of short-sighted pollies, who worship the 'Growth Fairy' and seek to divide and conquer!

I do not wish to say much more on this. However, since I have already beome involved, there are a few comments that I think ought to be made...

IM(not-so)HO, neither party can plead complete innocence in this unfortunate cybersaga. There has been extreme viciousness on all sides - and it has long gone past the stage, of me being able to objectively determine the chicken/s from the egg/s.

I personally believe that all 3 are decent people, deep down - each with differently quirky senses of humour - but there has been a series of heated misunderstandings, which have repeatedly-singed the increasingly-fragile egos of all concerned. Over time, subtle hints from myself and others, have gone unheeded - and the territory battles and inter-personal attacks and have continued unabated.

BTW, I do not believe that any one of them should be singled out for banning - it would need to be all 3 or none. It would also be a shame because each obviously has something valuable to offer on the political front.

I also believe that all 3 still deserve an equal and unfettered chance to make this right within this cyber community. So, I would hope that they could each find the courgage to call a public truce of sorts - and honour it wholeheartedly.

OK, that's my last 2c worth (hopefully). I'n not sure whether I should hold my breath, whilst I await restoration of my faith in humanity...

I dont know if you're including me in "the three" you speak of but if you do dont bother, Iamawhatever knows he cant do here what he has at yahoo as its against this forums rules to post personel details.
As for the rest of it, I was pointing out that I believed Lisa has a fair case in her accusations against Iamthe whatever, as he had also stalked me.
Iamwhatever does not bother me, I've dealt with much better stalkers than him.

Using your name which is freely available to EVERYONE is NOT stalking you simpleton. Wake up to yourself FFS.

Just as mine is given the constant accusations that NUTTER throws my way. She has serious issues and all you people are doing is feeding her sick addictions by siding with her. She needs HELP.

Ima if you really are concerned don't give her anything, ignore all posts, refrain from posting on threads she's active on, it's no loss seeing she stays away from serious political debate.
She'll move onto some other poor smuck soon enough.

I dont think Lisa is lying, now everyone who knows me will know I dont stand up for right wingers but in this case I do understand and agree with Lisa.Iamawoos has also stalked me, he was banned from Yahoo for stalking me and posting up my name, which he went to the trouble of finding out, just to stalk me,all of that happened the first day I ever posted there.

Iamawoos is a stalker and troll, just like Lisa says.

- skippy

Hey Skippy .. I had no idea the iamthetroll012 stalker had been harassing you also.

It's good to share this information ON HERE FOR ALL TO SEE so they can beware of this cyber scourge who insists on following targetted peeps into topics so as to flame/denigrate/harass/stalk.

HE is the reason Yahoo message boards shut down on weekends nowadays.

And Yahoo have seen fit to ban him hundreds of times .. and that alone says the sad and sorry story.

Regards to you Skippy and to any other sane and decent poster who posts in here.

You're not bad Skippy .. for a lefty that is lol

Lisa - don't feed the trolls.
I know I am guilty of it myself & it's difficult not to reply
when someone is writing abuse about you.
Just rest assured that "iamtheman" is an alcoholic who can't hold down a job.

Have you heard of the psychology theory called negative strokes?
From my understanding - when some people - read "iamtheman" -
don't get positive attention & positive strokes - they replace
it by receiving negative strokes.
In this way they still feel important & in some way admired
or at least noticed.
This is a sickness & people who suffer from this
can't help themselves.
The best defense is to re-inforce positive strokes
by only replying to positive comments.
I hope this will help you deal with some of the characters on these forums?

cheers
Bobby.
