Guess who HornsManiacFan is!

WSUCougar · 04-29-2003, 07:52 PM

Yup! Step right up and guess who our Mystery Guest might be! Take us back to the Golden Age of FOFC by unmasking this clandestine hero!

Defender of the defenseless!

Paragon of FOFC virtues!

The last bastion of Cocky and Funny (tm)!

Who can it be now?

MrIllini · 04-29-2003, 07:54 PM

Shall the mods check IPs to unmask this mysterious fellow?

korme · 04-29-2003, 08:29 PM

No one else shares his IP.

BFleming · 04-29-2003, 08:38 PM

IIRC, IP addresses change if using dial-up or a networking device-- that being said, I think I have an idea....Some people have a habit of using patterns in their work, whether it be in a post, or in a signature or whatever...That style is evident, even if you were to frequent other boards...just a thought..

Yup. Which made it even easier to ban. No one even shared the first two sections of the IP.

SD, good decision to lock up the thread.

mckerney · 04-29-2003, 08:53 PM

in dial up only the last 2 numbers change, the first 2 numbers stay the same.

Brillig · 04-29-2003, 08:54 PM

For example - we have a number of clues:

1) One of the first 200 FOFC members (might have lied about this, but unlikely - also, almost certainly one of the 101st-200th members, as otherwise he would have said "One of the first 100 FOFC members").

2) Almost certainly was online earlier today with his other login.

3) Tends to leave small words out

"Almost like you secretly enjoyed it a very sickening way."

"I would not want to be in a world like, would you?"

"I don't think that is going to happen so I comfortable speaking under condition of anonymity."

4) Comma phobic

"Explain the logic behind that please."

Probably enough to figure out who it is, if you really wanted too...

John Galt · 04-29-2003, 08:55 PM

HMF,

Frankly I think it is ridiculous that you don't reveal your identity. The internet is already a place to be anonymous. To use a new ID to escape your already anonymous ID just seems nuts. If what you believe in what you say, then say it from the voice we know. This board can be pretty harsh sometimes, but as someone who has felt a lot of that criticism and ire, I can say there is no good reason to hide.

And I am sympathetic to HM's plight. He was regularly baited and picked on. I do, however, think that he continually overreacted and initiated a lot of destruction on his own. On the scale of HM's abuses, the one that got him banned was pretty minor, but when added onto everything else, it just was too much.

Anyway, reveal yourself and have pride or go away. There is no middle ground.

Bee · 04-29-2003, 08:56 PM

Ouch! This may be the worst thing ever said about me.

Even though I have been biting my lip and have resisted posting in HM's last 100 or so "Look At Me!" threads, I am solidly not in his corner. If I were, I would like to think I have big enough stones to speak on his behalf, without hiding behind a fake nickname.

I will not speak for him, but I am fairly certain Bucc/Ary would not need to hide behind a fake nickname, either.

This place has more drama than backstage at a Miss America pageant. Good grief. I go out of town for two days and all hell breaks loose.

BTW, I am not HMF, so don't even go there.

Most split personalities are unaware of each other. So if you were HMF, would you even know?

JeeberD · 04-29-2003, 11:23 PM

I hope to be up-to-speed from now on. With that in mind, I guess I must sign-up for Hattrick, as well. The Dark Gods awaken. Woe be unto me.

Damn you VPI!! I was perfectly happy singing Jethro Tull's Aqualung

Quote:

Sitting on a park bench --
eyeing ittle girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose --
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun --
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck --
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Sun streaking cold --
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end --
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.

Feeling alone --
the army's up the rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend --
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze --
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

and now you've got me singing MEN AT WORK!!! Just great. Thanks a lot.

*Cue music*
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more.
