Buying Cameras & a car (I say it's a Current Event)

Post by BrettA » Tue Mar 12, 2013 12:51 am

I rather hope someone will agree that this type of thing can be classified as news-worthy (and it's a short post)...

LOL... I dunno where that took you but it should't have been an mountain. The took me to the middle of a cartoon but was supposed to get you to a post on the same page as the cartoon and it explained this graphic: http://www.intersiteimaging.com/Kodachr ... &k=8PtWtnM

If it takes you to the same page as me, search for 'Superfun' to get to the intended post (though the graphics seem to have been deleted there). Here it is in line and if I'm interpreting it correctly "Superfun" should be read as 'Illegal Set-up / Frame'):

It'd be nice if various forums stopped deleting my posts in whole or in part... and stopped changing what I'm responding to as it takes my stuff out of context - so far always in a negative way for me. Stop the B.S., please! TIA. Or, the file's made to look like illegal shit - date changes and all - to allow a lawsuit...

Are you including Ratz in that?

I'm including anyone and everyone who deletes my posts in whole or in part, modifies posts to place what I write out of context or anything similar (the first bit seems clear to me in the text - sorry you missed that, 'Zilla... and I've now added more). Is Ratz included in any of that?

Sorry I can't be more specific 'Zilla but part of my problem is since I'm hacked, I really cannot tell the source even if it clearly looks like something / someone.

Interesting response but first I'd guess 'no' to both of those (well, a definite 'no' to the 'whole world'!).

My second guess is that the first bit could be right based on my experiences in communicating with them...

They sometimes answer with absolute accuracy but with a sarcastic tone like they're mocking the question or the asker, e.g.: "Oh, yeah… we try to do that (something dicey) all the time! It's what we're best at!". The asker will focus more on the belittling tone than on the words of complete and utter agreement. If in a forum, a thread with this may be locked down on the reason that we've come as far as we can on this one (like it's a waste of time rather than true agreement). This may have been used with my 'False Gates' experience on a forum. And now maybe... here.

So take screen shots of your posts as soon as they are posted. Keep the shots and compare them to what's visible when you see your posts again.

Great idea and I do things like that (though not specifically that, yet)... but things like screen shots look like they get deleted on my computer(s) super fast!

If this isn't a joke I suggest you talk to someone about this, soon.

Oh, not even remotely like a joke... and I have talked and more specifically to your point, hope to talk to others, soon. Thanks! You're confirming that I'm on the right track!

But I note you didn't answer my: "Is Ratz included in any of that?" Could you read where I asked that (above) so you have the right context... and answer, please?

Oh, Ratz... are you gone?

Inner sig.: "In my experience, the most common technique is to simply not respond to a question or suggestion hitting the mark. Especially with people close to each other, the tendency will be to drop it rather than push for what might be an uncomfortable answer (even if - especially if true)."
