Robin, I might as well be honest

[RobinFinderson]

I am the least of your worries. I give everyone a chance. In fact, I give them a lot of chances. I am glad you are here, and actually eager to see if you prove yourself to be a total nut job like everyone thinks you are (though I hoping for NOT total nut job). But I do believe you are worth a go here in this forum and I am looking forward to getting to know you and all the people I have had a chance to get familiar with on CG.

'Nut job' is a culturally relative term. I'm sure I won't disappoint. Thanks for the chance.

Hey Creekster, here is the information you requested.

Your presence here gives me the creeps.

This is undoubtedly true.

You joined CougarGuard on 1/15/06, and were suspended twice in your first two weeks for repeatedly divulging personal info about Mike, despite warnings.

The date sounds right. I don't remember what personal information I divulged about Mike, but I remember telling stories about stuff that happened with me and Mike. The stories were embarrassing, but they didn't reveal his true identity or address or anything like that.

Then you wanted into the Crypt, but the vote was 77% no. So on 2/1/06, you went into a tirade on several threads, left a farewell post, and deleted all 195 of your posts.

This is true. Oddly enough, a much greater deal was made out of my deleting all of the posts than I think should have been made. I actually got the idea to delete the posts from Mike, who mentioned that he had contemplated doing just that on CB. Maintaining a modicum of ownership over one's words is not such a novel idea.

On 2/21/06, after three weeks of playing the role of the martyr on CougarBoard, you received a 3-day suspension, then went back to CougarGuard and offered to rejoin, so long as you were let into the Crypt. Which was rejected.

This isn't how I would portray it, but I think it is true enough.

On 3/20/06 you began posting regularly again, but continued the frequent whining about the Crypt.

Yes, I did continue to think that a Crypt was harmful to the social fabric of the community. It certainly mattered more to me then than it does now.

On 4/10/06 you were banned. You sent the same whiny email to everyone, again playing the role of the innocent victim.

True enough.

On 5/25/06 your ban was lifted after you kept pestering Mike to give you another chance. Your wife "Faith" also signed up.

That was nice of Mike.

On 6/16/06 you were banned for one week for lewdness, including remarks about your wife's discharge.

Indeed, in a post that would make wuap proud, I described some of the dangers of a healthy, normal sex life. It was gross, but not particularly lewd. Stylistically, it is not something I would write about at present. People change.

On 8/27/06, Mike accidentally left the Crypt open. You stated that you "downloaded" all 2,280 threads within. (And earlier today, you left a post here quoting a post from Mike on 1/28/06).

This is a half truth. I didn't state that I downloaded all 2280 threads. I did a quick search for threads containing a few variations of my user name, then copied and pasted the content of those threads into a Word document.

On 8/28/06 you were banned for good. You asked Fusnik to post another victim martyr farewell.

True enough.

In 12/06 you asked Mike to lift the ban, and he refused. Around this same time you commenced posting gay pornographic images in the comments section of his personal blog.

This is a flat out fabrication. I never posted gay pornographic images in the comments section of his personal blog.

On 5/10/07 you returned as DarkBritches. Once it was discovered to be you, the account was disabled.

True.

On 10/17/07 you returned as Rogan. The account was disabled.

Probably true (I don't recall).

On 11/20/07 you returned as Stumpy. Once it was discovered to be you, the account was disabled.

True.

On 12/6/07 you resumed pestering Mike to reinstate your original Robin account, which he declined.

Probably true. I should note here that I was still holding out hopes that my best friend, the best man at my wedding, and the godfather to Little Robin would find it in his heart to create a situation where we could begin to reestablish normal, friendly dialogue. I hadn't realized the depths to which our relationship had been destroyed, because Mike wasn't talking. But I had hopes. I suppose I still do. I'm just that sort of a romantic, you know, believing that friendship and brotherly love can eventually surmount the obstacles of petty fighting.

On 5/7/08 you returned as Kite Rider. Once it was discovered to be you, the account was disabled.

True.

Now what I find disturbing is that today, only two hours after Jeff Lebowski left a post in Chit Chat announcing this site, you signed up and posted. 29 months after being banned as Robin, and 6 months after been banned as Kite Rider, you were still there, frequenting everything.

This is true. I still peek at CG from time to time, though not so often. Mike is entertaining.

Anyhow, that is the breakdown of Fiyero's points. They are a mix of truths, misrepresentations (regarding my intentions) and one big whopper about gay porn.

Thanks. cela va de soit, as the french say.

... I never posted gay pornographic images in the comments section of his personal blog.

This is what's known as a negative pregnant as it raises the suspicion you've posted such images in other sections or sites. You could help yourself by stating (assuming this is true) that "I have never posted gay pornographic images on Mike Waters' blog or anywhere else." Just trying to help the witness, your honor.

What? the subject was pregnant too? How is that even possible?

Appreciated. I have never posted any sort of gay pornographic images on MikeWaters' blog or anywhere else. Indeed, Mike's blog doesn't even have the capacity to have images posted in the comments section, or anywhere else, except by the domain owner (Mike).

I find the drama on this site hysterical.

I can't decide if it's the intelligence many members of the board that brings the drama or whether it's the exorbitant amount of metrosexuals who frequent this board that cause the drama.

Sometimes I feel like I'm at girls camp when I read some of this stuff.

Either way, it is very entertaining.

Hey, I really like GIrls camp.

Hey, I really like GIrls camp.

I never said I didn't enjoy it. I have to be there for two days this summer. This is actually good preparation for me.

Hopefully you get to go to the Heber Valley Hilton like I did.

I engage the drama for its entertainment value.

Bingo. Second year in a row.

I like Robin. I think the hatchet job is making those wielding the hatchet look worse than him. This is silly.

Babs, you may not know this, but everyone of us who has spent any time in SLC knew exactly where Fiyero lived once he posted the photo from his apartment. Not tough to figure out. And Fiyero knows it. I'm torn here because I like Fiyero and Babs but I think both are being really unfair here.

[Fiyero]

FWIW I had two mods PM me and ask whether I wanted them to delete Robin's Google Earth image, but declined because as you said, it's obvious where I live and that thought crossed my mind while posting my balcony view but decided I didn't care. I don't picture Robin or any lurker showing up and, like Bob Wiley looking for his shrink at Lake Winnepesaukee, shouting over and over "Fiyero! Fiyero! Which of these 150 units belongs to Fiyero?" Although admittedly I would like to film such a scene and YouTube it.

Maybe the porn was pictures of that "man" from Bend, OR that is prego with his second child.
