It's curious that Ghostskeet hasn't been banned already.  That should seal it. ;-)

twooffour, your letting your own experience with sock accusations affect your assessment of the situation.  I'm willing to accept there's a reasonable chance you are not a sock.  But Ghostbusters is Janskeet.  There's no question about it.

*you're. Frink, watch your grammar, that's a pet peeve.

I'm not admitting to anything, I'm innocent until proven guilty. Before I am banned (if they care) I would like to ask an unrelated question. I am studying this cisco curriculum, (cisco.netacad.net)

http://itt.century.edu/Cisco/CCNA/en_ERouting_v40_Linux/index.html

I am currently on CCNA II Routing protocols and concepts. I try to study, it's just this Cisco curriculum I am required to read right now is so damn boring. I'll sit and read it for 2 hours and then go take the quiz/Packet Tracer and realize I haven't learned anything. I can't print it out, I went to a bookstore to see if I could buy it in paper copy so I could highlight it and write on it etc., but it is not the same and it would be better for me to just read the online version. Has anyone else taken this program by chance? Do you have any suggestions for studying tactics/strategies of this boring piece of crap?

You just can't help yourself, can you?

This is quite the guilty statement.

Um, didn't I just say I'd "bow out" as far as "this sock business goes", because I didn't know enough?

As for myself, I'd add to that that there also ain't any reasonable reason to believe I am ;)

Seriously, since this thread is all about forum drama anyway, can I ask you a question? I've been reading through some of VINH's posts lately, and I've noticed two things:

1) He didn't act like a troll anywhere I've seen. Could sometimes get too pedantic and arrogant about his "opinions", but seemed pretty straightforward.

2) His posts aren't all grey and bleak, so I assume he wasn't banned.

 

So... why should a guy who's never been banned create a new account and start trolling all of a sudden? Trolling complete with disingenuous self-disagreements and self-condemnation, I might add?

 

@Ghostbusters

Yea, have studying work to do myself. Break it up into segments, highlight or type in the important parts into a Word file (or a graphical system of some kind, because your brain can relate to tangible images more easily), and do a short break all 30 minutes or so. You could even come to this forum for like 5 minutes, and then you go back to work ;)

Oh and yea, if you can't print it out, and it's a pdf or something, COPY AND PASTE THE TEXT INTO A WORD FILE, and there you can "highlight" all you want ;)

Going outside for a walk can do wonders for your brain capability, as well.

Whether or not you are VINH really doesn't concern me anymore.  I've let it go.

Maybe because you quickly understood how stupid you were being in the first place, for the reasons just named ;)

Then, I'm saying "were being", even though, apparently, you still have doubts about stuff ;)

Socks ("sock puppets") are technically (at least to my understanding) currently-active members who create another account to either agree with themselves, or play devil's advocate to stir something up. Or it could be someone who wants a clean start.

Ghoskeet is something different, then. He is a new account for a previously banned member. I'm not sure what to call it.

This is a major reason I suspect your VINH-ness (right or wrong), because like he was, you are so convinced you are right you won't even allow the possibility that you are wrong.  I know for a fact that Ghost = Jans, and if I am able to post the proof, you will sure look silly, don't you think?

In all probability he has a 'normal' account at home (where he hangs around pretty much uniquely in the Off Topic section) and one maybe more bizarre accounts on the move which he reanimates every so often when he is bored or thinks nobody cares because he can't get his head around humans without penises.

Either way for me personally I don't have a problem with this madness it's a bit like bird watching spotting the Zigfried Sparrow or the Ghostskeet Tit.

Once in a while he/they start something going of genuine interest, like the thread about Star Wars languages or stuff which is genuinely funny like the final milf (minus the swears).

By way of an example the Ziggy thread where he pretended not to be able to compose a DVD cover in MS Paint or know the difference between an oval and a circle.

That would make a genuinely amusing off topic thread (Ziggy as Frank Spencer).

I've said elsewhere that his/their attention seeking exercise regime is pointless he/they has/have my attention anyway he/they might as well do something constructive with it.

I hope they don't get banned because I like reading their nonsense (minus the OTT swears and the personal attacks) and when they get banned this big black marker thing splodges the fun out but we all know they will be back under another name.

Yeah, I don't want Ghostskeet banned either, it's too much fun watching him constantly wreck his train.  I would have PM'd Moth3r by now if I did want him banned.

Yeah...no.

VINH could spell 'yeah' correctly.  So I know 2/4 is not VINH.  Unless he knew that I would know and so he changed his tells.

This is a major reason I suspect your VINH-ness (right or wrong), because like he was, you are so convinced you are right you won't even allow the possibility that you are wrong.  you think?

So you've never talked to another arrogant person on the intternet? A bit strange, because I've met a lot of them.

And hey, you know, I explained to you at least twice why your "suspicions" are stupid and make little sense, and you're still stubbornly insisting on the reasonable probability of your accusations, so in that case, ANYONE would be convinced they're right ;)

Again, VINH could get arrogant about his opinions, but was he a deceptive TROLL? Because changing his opinions around by 180%, and starting the new track record by rebuking one's own earlier post, would be definitely a case of blatant trolling, and thus out-of-character, right?

But, hey, you know... if you think that far, you're only left with "Ghostskeet" or whatever, and where would be the fun in that...

Hard to read text* aside, I'm just irritated at myself for letting you draw me back into this discussion about VINH.  All I was trying to say was that I don't know for a fact that you are VINH.

Ghost = Jan.  I know it for a fact, I have zero doubt.  You can believe whatever you want.

Well, hey, you know... how about getting irritated at yourself for posting crazy, wild-eyed accusations for no reason, while you're at it?

All I was trying to say was that I don't know for a fact that you are VINH.

 

Yea, you know, there's quite a difference between "I don't know for certain if X, but the wording of this phrase implies that X likely is" and "there is a vanishingly improbable possibility that X, and I don't know for certain it's not X".

You're letting yourself "draw into" this discussion, yet you apparently still don't get it ;(

 

Ghost = Jan.  I know it for a fact, I have zero doubt.  You can believe whatever you want.

So you still believe I'm still trying to argue against that (i.e., after my first post on this thread)? Clearly, reading comprehension ain't your strength...

This has gotten pretty boring so I think I am going to retire from this forum until the blu-rays come out. I have hardly been doing any homework this semester and I have been cheating on this one test. But I even admitted to the teacher that I am cheating and he said he didn't care because I am only cheating myself. I just have one more question for TV's Frink:

If you are married, have kids and employed, how have you found so much time to be on this forum?

Well you know, you can always do homework like for 30 minutes, then go on the forum for 10, then get back to homework.., if you're this addicted to online entertainment, you'll quickly find yourself hanging around Youtube as a replacement, if the self-control ain't there. Or, you know... maybe not.
