In Reply to: What would you do if another Inmate posted TWICE using your Username ??? posted by MEP14 on September 10, 2002 at 11:04:41:
Such ranting and raving I haven't seen for ages. The most apparent factor is Mr. MEP is far more interested in receiving more of the attention we so graciously giving him than in having a stimulating audio dialog. He's probably angry that "his" thread was moved away from the "front pages."I am a former Psychiatric Technician who has seen this type of irrational beyhavior many times before - both on real psychiatric wards and here at the asylum. Usually, it took an injection of Thorazine to bring the inmate/patient back to the real world, but that is not possible here. Perhaps the Doc could prescribe a nice long listening session as therapy - works for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no clue what I will be accused of for not toeing the line Mr. MEP has drawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Dave van Harn
Follow Ups:
I wish I knew how many more to expect so I could plan accordingly. At least you apparently had the gonads to use your name unlike many of your compatriots.Listen Dave, if I wanted anttention I would not be posting on this deserted outpost. Nobody visits this place anyway probably because it is hidden. So, you can cross off the Attention disorder diagnosis.
Frankly I doubt you have any Psychological background unless it was as someone confined to an asylum, not this one :-) Technician? Did you administer Electro Shock or have it applied? Actually I have an undergrad degree in Developmental Psychology but then why would you care when you people judge and prosecute with no due process. You do what suits your fancy based on "attitude". Well, I won't win Miss Congeniality because I have dropped out of the contest. Unless a judge restores my title...
Hey, I have had my fill of this place but as long as you purveyors of uneven justice keep posting, I will stick around. Does that give you any bright ideas? Think about it and Happy Shocking.
I have only drawn a line in the sand, that doesn't really count.

Actually, to reply to your original question:What would you do if another Inmate posted TWICE using your Username ???
I would e-mail the webmaster off-line and try to figure out what was going on.
I wouldn't start a public whining thread.
Simple, plain answers.
And yes, Mr. MEP, I really was a trained Psychiatric Technician, and your style of interaction brings back some interesting memories. I'm not implying that you should be institutionalized, or even see a psychiatrist, just that your behavior is predictable after you first reveal yourself.
Rather amusing, me thinks.

Apparently you have not read this entire thread, and who could blame one for that, but I explained early on that I originally responded by using the "comment" feature along with the original posting under my name. This was sent on 8-14-02. I received no response from AA save for the "automatic" response. Btw, I would be glad to mail it to you for your perusal. I just reread it and it is about as polite and non-threatening as you can get.Now, does this meet your definition of "off-line" mailing? I'm not sure what you mean. Rod did say he had seen the recent "comment" and felt it unimportant, or words to that effect. Something like it was not important in the great scope of things..not an exact quote. So, since he did read it I am not sure what good some alternate type of mailing might have done.
If you would care to read all my postings and exchange thoughts via email, I don't think you would consider it whining. I also stated that I had let the matter rest after the first incident. Only after the second incident and again NO response did I write again and with more fervor. You could put yourself in my position and imagaine the frustration of reporting something for the second time and still getting no response. Then, after posting my message which I tried to word carefully, I receive nothing but abuse and condemnation. I also stated more than once that this was Not an attack on AA. As I said in one of my postings, I was actually trying to be disrete about the whole matter, thereby avoiding any adverse reaction. I thought it best for AA to deal with the matter rather than drag this thru the public domain. Again, if you read the comments of your brethren, they thought it not worthy, primarily because of my attitude and "tone".
I ask you, how would you have felt? I thought I was yielding to the discretion of the powers that be and acting in good faith. Instead I ended up being attacked.If even 1 person had taken less than 5 minutes to respond that the matter was being reviewed, that would have been satisfactory to me. As you can see, for my discretion I got nothing but abuse. So, again, I ask you what you would have done, not as a Bored member but as me? I felt strongly, and still do, that this was a clear and intentional violation of a major Posting Rule. I can see from what has been written that this is Not important to the Board. I feel this is wrong and I will always feel it is wrong. I also feel that it was Not a technical issue as some have suggested.You know so many are willing to give their 2 cents now but were unwilling to do so when it was requested and when this matter could have been kept totally private.
So Dave,as you can see I didn't "start with a public whining thread" and yes, all I wanted was "simple,plain answers". I hope this clarifies my position and helps you to better understand my actions and feelings in this matter. If you have any further questions please feel free to email me. I am done discussing this matter here. Thank you and I appreciate you civility. At least you seem to have some sense of compassion as opposed to... You fill in the blanks :-)

I'm curious about your reaction to Rod's noting that he gets hundreds of emails a day. Does that help any? It is a load, isn't it?
Yeah, and I forgot to mention that I do have a software company to run. The Asylum is only a part time deal and all of the mods are volunteers. It's not like there's some big paid staff here to provide support.
Rod, are you the only person designated to respond to "comments"? Boared Members Never respond to inquiries on their own? You can see the lengths some of these Board members went to in order to research my postings which in total, would be a considerable amount of time. If only 1 of them had taken a few minutes to respond, even telling me there was no validity, my inquiry would have been satisfied. Not to mention the amount of time they spent here trying to discredit me and bolster their own position. There is no logic to any of it.I am sure you are very busy and as I said earlier, I never even considered any of this to be your responsibility. As the flaming posts containing personal insults, accusations, admonishments for not being a Contributor, etc. unfolded it was clear what the real problem was.
If you send an email to any business or organization, you naturally expect some type of response besides an "automatic" one. If you don't receive one it is bound to affect your opinion and patronization of that organization. It is bad business not to respond. If they don't have the funds or inclination to respond then just drop the ability to respond, "comments" section that is. The way it is now it is just a popularity or financial contest as to whether you receive a response.
