Earlier, someone posted the IP numbers for the phony. From today's posts, I collected the following IP numbers from the Phony's posts, and at least some of them seem to be new:
200.41.41.122
148.74.252.6
193.85.170.41
217.8.20.145 (not sure about this one, please forgive and correct me if this is a real clusterhead)
Anyone else have other IP numbers belonging to the troll? We can avoid a lot of confusion and unnecessary conflict if we check IP numbers before responding, and then not responding to the troll, no matter how much you are tempted to give him what he deserves.
My guess (based on years of participation in e-mail lists, web boards and usenet) is this is a teenage boy, and he's getting a kick out of his power to disrupt the board. Insults, threats, reasoned argumants - none of these will get him to stop, because this is what he wants. Ignoring him is what he doesn't want. I don't even like the fact that I had to acknowledge his existance in this post!
By the way, I post from two different computers. My IP numbers:
64.91.155.49 and
63.173.216.58
