Yes I did edit my previous post after you had posted yours, and if that was wrong for that I apologise, however I had told you that I had edited it and had not changed the information that you had quoted me on your post, and certainly I had not stated or edited that I was leaving the forum.

Yes, in my opening post I stated.. 'it's me I've arrived''... If I had previous accounts I would have stated '' it's me I'm back''.

But if you think I would lie then, why ask a question to a lair when the answer can not be verified?
I'm not being evasive, simply stating the obvious.
Why would anyone think that I have other SZ accounts, to me it's just a from of teasing or harassment.

I truly am sorry you feel that way, Frothy. For my part, if I've done anything other than try and welcome you here and be as friendly as possible, I apologise.

The point may be raised however, that if that is truly how you feel about the place, you do continue to log in and make posts. Which could be perceived as your actually enjoying the confrontation and may lend credence to some people's suspicions that you have, in fact, been here before.

Just sayin'. If I found a place that 'orrible, I probably would have sauntered orf by now. Gawd knows, many a valued contributor before you have done just that.

It should also be noted though, that many more valued contributors have not. In fact, new people do join all the time and seemingly do stick around.

Well said Ab. I refrained from answering this thread for about 12 hours until I kept seeing my name being dragged up as a reason why people are asking frothy about his previous accounts here. I am not really interested in this back an forth.

Well I enjoy discussing the topics listed on the forum index, so that's why I'm here....
You appear to be suggesting that if I continue to post here I enjoy the confrontation, but it's not me making the confrontation, it's not me looking for answers from others about their motives to post here....
Now as you appear to be suggesting that as I have continued to post here that I enjoy confrontation...

So is this how the forum goes,....
Someone registers an account.
They then start to post posts and create or join in with threads on the said subjects, then they start to be ridiculed ''you're this or that''
and if they don't stop posting they like the confrontation?

What I'm saying is why are we having all this confrontation to begin with, I don't mind to debate a point or to have a bit of banter, I have no way of verifying to anyone whether I have posted here before, why does anyone think that I have done so..... and then you say by not leaving I have given credence to their suspicions, so basically as soon as a poster is labelled 'sock' whether it is true or not if they stick around and defend themselves then they are giving evidence of being a sock. . . hahahaha come on it's ridiculous

Each to their own. I was merely pointing out the bleedin' obvious, tbh.

I have no interest in who you were or if you were, either. It does however strike me as peculiar that you stick around to take yet more shit, which you insist you do not enjoy. I also felt the need to post as you were making assertions about this place and it's posters after not really having been here that long, apparently. Again...peculiar.

It's just a forum on the interwebs.

For a newcomer, Frothy does seem very familiar with folks here. Or at least he feels familiar enough to post his opinion of them.

I guess that leaves either duplicitous or presumptuous.

Ab Origine wrote:
But it seems like some posts, such as your most previous one to me is leaning towards ''he's a sock'.
I make my assertions based on the reactions that I have had from a few posters since my arrival.
I can put up with their childish remarks and unfounded suspicions, thought I'd rather be debating the points of the day than to have to be constantly defending myself from speculative allegations.
I can only think that I have done something in particular to warrant such suspicions and they seemed to have been triggered by my debate with Mikey Mikey on the Brand thread.
(sorry to bring it up again Mikey)
I'm just wondering what happened in particular to make anyone then think that I'm previous poster?

And your chronology is way out.

are we on a witch hunt? his only crime really is being smug. im trying not to pay attention though.

Are you now suggesting that I'm a new poster pretending to be an old poster in order to create a debate about whether or not I'm a new or old poster?

jeeesh Mikey it all seems as bit paraniod

I haven't been paying too much attention to be fair. As I said, I really only posted because you seemed to be slating the place and yet still sticking around; something we've all witnessed here before and something I still can't get my head around.

Perhaps that's it? Dunno and don't particularly care.

Ab Origine wrote: Why would you join a forum, instantly start complaining about it, and then claim that you've been subject to some form of discrimination?

Doesn't really make much sense, does it?

It's boring, it's tiresome, it's puerile, we've all seen it a thousand times before, other Internet forums have seen it millions of times before. There is absolutely no point in doing it on a small forum because it's absolutely obvious what you're doing. I can just about see the point of behaving this way on a big forum, although it's still a monumental waste of time, but doing it on a small forum really is the height of pointlessness.

Look, Frothy, as much you emphasise you've not verified you're a sock, it's the the unavoidable fact that you continue to stalwartly refuse to deny it that makes me think you're a game-playing sock. You know that because it's already been pointed out.

Enough already, as Wub said, we've all seen it many times before and it's fucking dull.

Ok Frothy, suppose we take you at your word and you are not a sock/previous forum member, doesn't the fact that most of the regular posters here having an issue with you and your 'style' suggest that either you have approached the forum in the wrong manner or you have approached the wrong forum?! For a tiny little space of the internet we attract more than our fair share of people wishing to rock the boat and have lost some members as a result, some would say that was the point, we just get a bit protective when someone joins and is immediately hostile.

If you can take this post and this place in the spirit intended you may well enjoy yourself here, if you are here to rock the boat you may well enjoy yourself here but you can be sure it'll be a much briefer experience for all involved.

Your contention that you were using the word to say I was slowing the thread down is many things. Lame, desperate, sad, pathetic.....
We all know what meaning of the word you employ and the fact you find that acceptable says an awful lot about the contents of your brainbox. It is also unacceptable in this forum under the community guidelines you agreed to.

There are good reasons to ask you if you are a previous poster. For one, you have singled out certain members of the forum in no time at all, saying things like "as always" about them. There is strong implication there that you have history with some of the posters here.
You say that you had the same frothy ID at the DIF. I read here that that account lasted four months, till your arrival here. The posters you seem to have history with were all banned from the DIF a year before you joined it....Go figure. No doubt your DIF account is a sock too eh.
There are other reasons to question your sockness, have a think about that one for a bit though.

Ab Origine wrote: Ok I'll try and help you to get your head around it.
I like the topics on the forum index but before I can continue posting on them I need to sort out all these childish moronic comments about me being a 'sock'.
It's not that I don't like the place, it's that the place is host to some dumb arse speculative thinkers.

that's all.
why all the drama ?

Don't be so moronic.
I have said who I am and how I came to be here on my opening post.
all these unfounded speculative allegations are either paranoid bullshit or childish harassment.
grow up !
