The Monkier Protection was turned on as I have stated several times here. I could have "flamed" the guy on the spot and raised a stink at the time. I did Not do this as I thoght I would let You handle this indiscretion. Out of respect for AA I thought it could be better handled discretely and with a minimum of uproar. Obviously, it does not seem to matter here what people do. It looks like "fend for yourself". If someone obviously hacks into someone else's info that should be cause for action. If you don't care and won't do anything about that then so be it.What is the purpose of having that rule listed under Posting Rules if you are not going to do anything when someone purposely posts under another's Username? Do you think I am posting as Big Dave and MEP14 while using different IP addresses ??? I assure you I am not.
If your Posting Rules at the Asylum and violations of them are "not that big a deal" then so be it. My participation in this forum is no longer a bid deal then either.
Personally Rod, you seem to do a good job of dealing with "technical problems or concerns" which is what your job seems to consist of so no disrespect to you. However, from the posts I have seen from Bored Members today regarding this topic, it is obvious to me that they don't really care what the average member does, just don't complain about anything. If you don't complain, then all is well. This seems like AA's version of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". Well, it doesn't work well in the Military, and it is a poor position for you to take here.If you want to let people get away with murder and turn a blind eye, so be it. You have lost another passionate member and potential contributor, but then is "it a big deal in the whole scope of things" ? I doubt that is is.

"My participation in this forum is no longer a bid deal then either".
Quite right, nobody's is. This is a forum to discuss what must be considered a pretty self-indulgent hobby, nothing more. Not worth raising the blood pressure over.
What's the real story, "MEP14"? Maybe you think the world revolves around you?.....I again notified AA and strongly requested a response as to how this would be dealt with....
You did much more that "strongly request" a response. You threatened legal action!
Get bent.
I said I would find out who was in charge, thinking that my requests were just being put off by some underling, I didn't threaten "legal" action. You must be on some psychotropic drugs. Besides, who really knows what happens there. There is this aura of mystery about who really is in charge there. You have this mysterious "Bored" but who really knows what they do or how they operate. After today, it is clear how they operate. You don't seem accountable to anyone except yourselves which is a disservice to the members here. You comprise only a small segment of the membership here, remember that.
You want to print the letter, then print the fricking thing, I don't care.Print my original letters from a month ago too. You allow people to intentionally break the rules and do nothing, then you obsess over my "tone". Why didn't you have the guts to write to me and tell me to "get bent" rather than post such shameful and unprofessional language under the protection of the Forum?The truth is you or anyone there, wasn't about to do squat about the situation regardless of how diplomatically I worded my letter. Btw, I feel that I was diplomatic considering the circumstances. When I brought this to your attention after the first time, I was extremely polite and look where that got me.
You do whatever you like with no regard to its appropriateness and you have nobody to answer to because nobody really knows what the hell you do.
Go back to my original letter and original post here. I asked for a simple explaination about an obvious Rules Violation. That is about as simple and reasonable as you can get. What did you do? You did nothing.
Telling me to "get bent" is about as tacky as it gets. What is the criteria for Bored membership anyway? Do you need to pass a test for arrogance and pomposity first? If so you must have scored well.
The Audio Asylum is a great concept and could proliferate if it weren't for people such as yourself. Your language and behavior are totally Unprofessional.

If you want to go, then just go. No need to make a big statement as being terribly wronged and no one cared.
Now, there's something that I wouldn't mind 'ranking' according to quality.And the Ethiopian judge gives that dive a perfect '10,' how 'bought that?
