Global warming, etc

So how come fat boy no longer visits? Did any of you do him in? There is no longer seems to be any point in having a soapbox if all we post is jokes. Have all of you defected to some other site?

After the complete collapse of the Global Warming scam due to those emails being released I no longer felt the need to point out the blatantly obvious to everyone; that it is a scam. :) Oh, and the fat_boy account got deleted for telling TrollSlayer not to let the door hit her in the arse as she left (she got pissy after receiving some abuse, despite being able to dish it out quite liberally). My second account, Erudite_Eric, got deleted after calling the UK Queen a rancid bitch, and so far, under this account, I really cant be bothered to post here that much since it only takes 5 abuse posts to get your account deleted, and has thus sterilised CP to the point on inanity. And if you can't piss 5 people off a day then you havent got much to say in my opinion. :)

No he's still here, he just doesn't post that crap anymore. It wasn't really interesting anymore anyway.
Only some of it was crap. To be fair, DD posts far more drivel (I'm not complaining, merely pointing out the fact. His non-drivel posts make up for it anyway)

You are answering his posts more often than you think.

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Do not feed the troll ! - Common proverb
Lies! All lies, your honor! I never answered his posts! Anyway I only mentioned him as an example, a lot of people have stopped discussing anything worthwhile here, leaving only the jokes.

You bastard, it was you all along! :) (but I'm a bit suspicious, is it really the same person? or one of fat_boy's stalkers? ;) ) At least you're still here. Quick, create a new account and post as much inflammatory stuff as possible, now that ratings are off. The tigress didn't really abuse anyone, did she? Got any examples? She's another one who made things interesting around here.

That makes no sense, there was no reason to disable his account. Nothing abusive there, or in any recent posts that I recall. How did it get linked to fat_boy anyway? I know, I should ask the big M, but I'm not going to bug him right now, what with the issues with voting and site load and the hamster apocalypse and god knows what else.

BilliousBob, Eruldite Eric, and Fat_Boy are one and the same person. I'll not get into the politics of "The CP Lounge", but there within that forum lives the answer. Our friend has demonstrated that he has outstayed his welcome with certain other members. However, as and when he re-applies to join CodeProject, I will authorise his membership of SoapBox 1.0 [^] where I would be happy also to authorise your membership there should you so apply via the above link.

What is it with this account deletion crap Richard? One joke post in the lounge and apparently the plebiscite has the right to delete you! Its actually really quite pathetic, the lack of manners here.

Clearly Code Project needs moderating administrators who can override the spitefulness of some of the Lounge members by having rights to undo a group action. Or if that is not appropriate, for the account to be flagged in such a way that an authorised and trusted Code Project employee has to become involved in the final decision making process as to if the account is to be confirmed as deleted, or suspended or to be operated as normal. Yet, I'll look forward to your participation in the forum next door that I am Admin for where you are not restricted in the subject matter you so wish to discuss.

Thanks, but I deliberately avoided joining the private soapbox. If I did, I would have even less of a life that now, and my better half may turn into my worse half, etc etc

I just think there a a few very nasty people who can't take any kind of humour at all. If you are going to reinstate an account, please reinstate my old fat_boy account, email is zzebowa@hotmail.com :) I have kind of approached Chris with this problem, of accounts being deleted. he wants this site to be a coders site. Yes, I do post a lot of stuff, on food, guitar, politics, and GW, but also I am one of the very few who as a windows kernel dev actually post technical stuff and help people on the hardware forum. What I said to Chris was that since my contribution in this area is rare and thus valuable the continuous deletion of my accounts is actually damaging to CP. It isnt as if I care that much, CP is (was) an amusing place to hang out and discuss all kinds of stuff with intelligent people the world over. If it is to remain what it is, a clique,, then I have little interest in it. (And SB1 1.0 is too much a US right wing forum to have any real interest for me)

Alas, I don't have that authority. I can only administer existing Soapbox 1.0 members. And can only edit/delete members postings in that forum and set a limited number of rules for that forum. I can't even enrol a CP member to SB1.0 without them first applying for membership.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if you felt like you were banging your head against a brick wall.

Well, if that is the case, he has failed as I know a number of members who either no longer work within the discipline of programming or have never worked within that discipline. IMO, CP has lost quite a few members over the last few months because CP no longer does what it originally set out to do - namely - to be a community. The politics (not party politics) of the Lounge have changed alienated many. BUT ... I would remove your email address from your posting - spam etc .... [added] Go re-sign up at SB.1.0 with your present account, I'll authorise your membership, just try not to upset the Lounge members by losing this current account, otherwise we can be doing this thing ad infinitum.

Better to change the lounge mentality then.

They are all adults there but sometimes it does make you wonder. I have no idea if the Lounge satisfies what Chris Maunder is trying to achieve with CodeProject. But I understand that Maunder has been developing something new for CP - no idea what though. Anyway, go next door and sign-up, I'll authorise your application ...
