+lostinjersey Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I was reading the forums just skimming around when I said a thread whose latest post was by Brian Snot. I didnt even catch it till a few minutes later when my brain kicked in and said,"Hey that said Brian SNOT, not Brian SNAT". I read the logs by Brian Snot and all were deragatory put downs of Brian Snat. Ism this what the forums have come to? Creating faked names so you can snipe at someone with relatively safety? I have seen other message boards shirvel up and die as they broke out into pettiness. I know most of us would never do that, (I hope) but I felt the neat to expose this cockroach to the sunlight. I know how I felt when geobuddy was trashing me and my caches with his fake logs. The idea that anyone is following someones activity that closely & then slamming them is not only reprehensible and childlike, it's also downright creepy. If it's a non-local person then that's bizarre because there's no motiviation, and if it is a a local, well then that's just plain sad that they have to resort to such juvenile tactics. Hopefully whoever it is will get over it (whatever IT is that made them want to do this) and cut the nonsense. www.gpswnj.com [This message was edited by Gwho on May 03, 2003 at 03:58 AM.] Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I think I'll sit this topic out, but the topic's title has to be one of the funnier one's I've seen . "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues" -Abraham Lincoln Quote Link to comment
umc Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I like the title also umc is my socket puppet for bashing people along with everything else. It is also my true caching account for ummm well caching.. I guess what I'm trying to say is, whoever the imposter is grow some balls and say what you have to say. Oh, yeah and, just leave because we don't need your bull here. you get a frog ______________________________________________________________________________________ Caching without a clue....

+The Leprechauns Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 uhhh, it's Brain Snot, not Brian Snot. Which was actually incrementally funnier -- the first time. I even thought it may have been Brian's puppet (kind of a left Brian/right Brain thing). But now the puppet shows its true strings, and the puppetmaster is the lowest form of scum, the kind at the bottom of the ocean.

Abandoned Outpost Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 The Leprechauns, nicely pointed out. Brain over Brian, or Brian over Brain. I at first wondered if it was a possible alter-ego ( evil ) untill I read your post. Quote Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Heck, I dropped out for a spell and Mitsuko had come and gone and Sock Puppets were discussed like everyone knew. It took awhile. It's still a disturbing mental immage. ===================== Wherever you go there you are. Quote Link to comment
+oregone Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 While cleaning out the inbox last night, i found this interesting correspondence from a famous sock-puppet: quote:Subject: Mitsuko contacting you from Geocaching.com Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2002 14:24:11 -0700 THIS IS AN AUTOMATED EMAIL MESSAGE FROM GEOCACHING.COM If you wish to email this person, visit your "my cache page" link on Geocaching.com and use the Email a player link.

+ZingerHead Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 You don't suppose it's Mrs. Nazz masquerading as Brain Snot? It has that "let's stir the pot and see what happens" nazziness about it... There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary numbers, and those who don't. Quote Link to comment
