FC: Board member MIA for 3 months....

I'm fine. This will be my last post here. My business was attacked via false (ridiculously false) reviews. We spent a lot of money to determine their origin and to get them removed. For a year old company doing great work, it was something we didn't deserve and didn't plan for. Our leads dropped, and our competitors seized their opportunities for sure.

All good now though. Back on track and still seeing the ocean when I glance up from my computer in the AM. Have done some killer putting greens at LaGorce on Miami Beach and at Weston Hills the past few weeks. Going into Ballen Isles next week.

The fake reviews of our business probably cost us around $100K in sales (one job for sure @$65K) and they originated not from a local competitor, but from a regular poster here who lives hundreds of miles away, and likes to play politics and race-baiting games.

I'm done playing games with you people. Frankly, only a very few of you are worth it. I'll leave you w/ one last GC song:


I am glad the rumors of your demise have been greatly exaggerated. I wish you and your business much success in the future

The way some people attack Mary is just horrible. It reminds me of how some posters used to attack Carol. Just horrible and boorish behavior.
Never the first to attack, but sometimes when you dance to the music, you gotta pay to the piper. Sanctimony and condescension will precipitate that every now and then.

P.S. You may want to check out one of her posts in the Jarvis Miller transfer thread.

I'm sorry to read about what you had to go through.

That's some serious $$, and I don't blame you for having resentment toward that poster.

I hope that in time, you'll find your way back to this board. I've enjoyed your posts over the years, and hope to read them again in the future.

Agree, but it was a very very very rare event for TJ to make a post that wasn't at least partially politically driven -- Even if you didn't realize it. If you weren't very familiar with him and his political posts on The Test Board -- as most here on the McA board -- he was very good at trying to make a political point without it reading like a political post.

He lived and breathed to constantly refine/tweak his political spin for the sake of debating politics on message boards. He may have just gotten overwhelmed trying to defend the words and actions of a particular new political leader (I won't name names since this isn't the test board {grin}), and had a break down.

Either that, or his mom finally kicked him out and he no longer has an internet connection.
Hilarious. That was one of my favorite posts, or at least one of my favorite replies, in a long time. Don’t know if you’re right in your take but I guess I’m among the least likely to have been offended by nuance and angles below the surface. And I’ve only stepped into the test board political morass once or twice and left immediately never to return.

Oh shit. Assuming true (and no reason to doubt you), that's beyond F'd up. Glad to hear you were able to (mostly) recover.

I find it incredible that due to a message board animosity a poster would attempt to destroy the livelihood of another. Well, on 2nd thought, I began posting on this site or whatever it was when I discovered it in the 1997-98 era. Lived through the dark ages of 2000 - 2004 and the more "recent unpleasantness". In that time I believe there has been a slide to a less civil back and forth. It has happened elsewhere so it is no surprise for it to happen here. Sad commentary on the overall state of affairs here and elsewhere.

Therefore, I sadly can believe a poster would, anonymously attack another's business thinking they would not be discovered or wanting to be discovered, who knows. If you decide to fall those depths of cruelty, animosity or anger over a message board, you have larger issues.

I'd love an undefeated season and playoff championship to observe the board dynamics when football dominates the discussions.
 
Ok so who was this jerk?
I think he or she should be “outed”.
Who knows, but if MtNitt wanted them outed, he would have IMO. Other members on this site have stalked people, were reported, and they still post here. Yahoo owns Rivals now, so maybe we need to bypass Rivals and the mods here for these people.

LOL someone literally vowed to ruin my life for . . . calling BS on his BS to PS4RS which . . . I dunno, ruined his rep in that group as a complete a$$hole??

So now he stalks me, trolls my social media, mocks my weight, calls my fiancee fat . . . sorry if I have little sympathy for others here . . .

Yeah, there's absolutely no excuse or reason for taking anything on said these boards beyond the forums. Trying to harm someone personally or financially is hitting way below the belt, especially since the desire to do harm is driven from something as trivial as political disagreement. I went through some of the last few threads he participated in (and they were all TB threads) and couldn't believe some of the vitriol (on behalf of nearly everyone participating). There is/was a small group of extremely intense posters who take discourse to an unpleasant level. I have no idea who would want to take their 'beef' to the point where you are harming someone personally and financially, but it's beyond childish and almost criminal. I certainly got into disagreements with folks (including MtNittany) on the McAndrew Board but never followed the threads once they were moved to the TB (where he and others here are a lot more active). I also took many posters advice about using 'ignore' so there was less temptation to engage in counter-productive rhetoric.

I did check out his Friday Night Jukebox threads on this board and that is what made me ask if anyone knew of his whereabouts (I noticed he stopped posting them sometime ago, and I'm pretty sure he was the guy who started the relatively recent, and well received tradition). I am happy to hear his company has recovered and always thought his line of work was the kind you would never consider 'work' if you were good/lucky enough to do it.

That’s crazy man. I think we’ve had some minor spats - think you’re a Steelers fan who likes to be mean to my beloved, forlorn Iggles. That said, it’s a message board so I understand the trash talking. Hope you come back in time and contribute to the board

Yeah, Test Board. It's where some go to *really* hash out political differences (not really - mostly name calling, trolling, etc. - it's less politics and more tribalism). IMO, it should be shut down. It's clear that stuff there bleeds into the BWI Board and there are probably more than a few folks who *only* post there. I also agree Tom and Hotshoe need more help moderating the board.

They long ago should have immediately moved all the Sandusky stuff to the Test Board. I argued that in vain. Fortunately, those threads are few and far between now

Oh ok thanks.
I've ventured over there once or twice but its not for me.
Tribalism is a good description.
I agree it should be shut down because it does bleed into this board.

I think it is nuts that anyone would take anything so seriously on a football message board that they would track a person down in "real life" and do damage to them. If it is really true that this happened and you can trace economic damage back to this person, there could be cause for legal action. Did this person say things about the poster knowing those things to be untrue? Personally, I would pursue that, if only to make the point that they need to never do such a thing again. If it causes them stress, so much the better.

This is so bizarre that I have a hard time believing someone would seek to harm anyone in such a way. It is really messed up.

I totally believe it. There are plenty of sociopaths and bad people in plain sight. They can hide it to varying degrees, but the mask always slips.

There was a guy who used to post here who had a few “fans” - mainly people who egged him on because he wasn’t picking on their favorite teams, etc. I and a few other people who called him out for his clear-cut racism and assholish crap got challenged to fight on our profile page by this jag off. Finally saw a picture of him. Seeing his cruel face on his twitter feed, it didn’t surprise me that he was a nasty piece of work.
