In line.
I've only recently started posting. And I'm not sorry to say I missed most of it. Google archives much of what's transpired here for the last few years though.
You expect them to investigate a complaint from someone outside of their jurisdiction?
Yeah, I know. And he's a "walking dead man" too. Some of the guys here are way over the top.
I notice he no longer provides monitoring services.
It gets a bit anal here at times.
An asshole will always be an asshole. There are two ways to respond to one. You can tolerate his antics and keep your opinions to yourself, or you can tell him flat out that he's an asshole. Kissing up to one however, is taking things just a bit too far.
Alright.
Not everything the asshole posts will become a target. Not everything he posts is bullshit either, but the ratio of bullshit to meaningful contribution is still about 8 or 9 to one.
I don't see Frank "hammering away" at Bass these days. Unless you want to call asking for proof "hammering".
Bass is an expert at manipulating facts and in the use of Italian suppositories. Even though individuals he's attacked can prove what he's said about them is utter fabrication, there will always be that element of doubt. If some guy emailed me and told me one of my employees was using "company resources" to perform illegal credit checks, it would be foolish of me not to investigate. It would be just as foolish for me not to change the passwords even if that investigation revealed the email to be an utter lie. What a waste of time and "company resources".
I don't see how reporting genuine illegal activity is a waste of time or even mean spirited. Bass left himself open to it, and even afterwards skirted around the issue for years until only recently. I don't see how informing a manufacturer about his copying software and offering it for download on his website is anything like what he's done. Christ, Frank sent me dozens of links that prove beyond a shadow of doubt the man's a liar and an asshole.
You can continue to "make nice" to each other all day long. Just take it to another forum if you can't bring yourselves to exchanging sloppy emails, will ya please?
