BAN FACETIMER

Can we just get rid of this pansy in the e-lynah forum?
He brings nothing at all to the table except meaningless, senseless rants about Schaf.
What is his deal, did he get cut, no tryout, or just another hopless gym-jock that wants to tear a real sports acheiver down? Anyone know?
Or better yet FACETIMER tell us who you are pussyhole and we'll take out our frustrations of listening to your bitching in person.
However, we are not willing to make a special trip to find you at the common ground fag!

Not that there's anything wrong with...

oh never mind.

Harrier, you're just feeding his facetiming ways by calling him out like that. Just let him be.

just as an fyi ... look closely and you'll see the screen name was FACETIME II for the latest topic. good ol'facetimer hasn't been as annoying as say ... RichS
in fact, this past season FT has been pretty damn funny and on point about most things posted. that's just my opinion.

He was annoying at first when we thought he was serioous. Now it's obvious it's all a bit, so I dont think people mind him anymore.

Isn't pussyhole redundant?

In any event Facetimer is a registered user and shouldn't be confused with any copycat. I don't like Schafer, but I don't joke about his death. Phil Graham on the other hand ...

A lot of Forums requires users to register with a verifiable e-mail address to which a password gets mailed back. Perhaps a procedure like that would stop some of this nonsense.

It's really not that bad here. And it would be less of a problem if people didn't feed the trolls, but a lot of posters who actually contribute useful content prefer to remain anonymous. Unless it gets really out of hand, I don't anticipate changing anything.

Every once in a while the subject of this conversation says something so outrageous it's thought-provoking. Not the usual Schafer can't coach, O'Bryne can't stickhandle, Topher can't dunk, Underhill-then-LeNeveu-now-McKee can't make the big save, etcetera BS.

Such as, well, it's hard to remember, but twice in the past couple weeks something he posted was so far out in left field that it actually was breathtakingly lucid. Holmes praised Watson saying that while Watson was invariable wrong, his missteps illuminated the proper path. So too here. I think that's why our language has the phrase "idiot savant."

Also, is there ever an injustice so horrible it cannot be remedied with upper-lower case subject lines?

Maybe we should ban Billhoward

Oh, yeah, Harrier, you're definitely an improvement over Facetimer.

Beeeej

In response to Harrier's post about who facetimer really is,

facetimer submitted his posting from the IP: 205.232.75.---
elf.elynah.com IP address is: 64.246.60.117
Since E-Lynah doesn't disclose the last three digits of the user's IP address, this is a bit more tricky.
That 205.232.75.--- block of IP address has been assigned to Danica Computing, Incorporated. They're a local ISP and they have a switchboard in Ithaca.
It would be difficult to obtain information on the connections that ever happened between 64.246.60.117 and 205.232.75.--- by legal means.
Well we know that he posted on 4/1/05 at 12:45pm (as well as other specific dates and times).
I guess you could try calling the tech department of Danica, ask to speak with the switchboard technician or someone who can access the traffic log and ask for the last 3 digits of the IP address of the user in the 205.232.75.xxx block that connected to 64.246.60.117 on 4/1/05 at 12:45pm. Give him the specific time and date of other posts too. Tell him you've been trying to figure out an abusive, annoying user of Elynah forum. He'll understand that you've done some research, you have all these info and you're serious about this. You'll be talking to a technician dude who troubleshoot servers and machines all day. He's not customer service and he doesn't get to interact with customers much. So when a troubled customer requests to speak to him specifically on a bright sunny day, he might feel like being helpful. If the guy helps out in providing those last IP digits, then bingo. Note that this is not illegal because you'll only be using the information that is readily available to the public.

Once you have the IP address, you can use any of the online services to look up the location. All you have to do is google "IP location" and you'll find lots of websites that can help you look him up. You'd probably have to pay for these services.

If you cannot get the last part of his IP address from Danica tech person, then the brute force way to do it would be to punch in all the 255 possibilities of the last three digits:
205.232.75.1
205.232.75.2
205.232.75.3
...
Most of the 255 possibilities are not going to exist. I would say the hit percentage would be 10% max. If you have enough time, you can trace all the hits and look up all those locations (will cost lots of money!), then simply go door-to-door and figure out who facetimer is by process of elimination. You can ask people if they use Elynah and if they do, do they ever post under the name of "facetimer." If the guy has the "oh shit" look on his face, that's probably him. this is probably mildly illegal cause you're gonna cause disturbance to a lot of people.

In reality, who's really gonna put in the time and money to do that?

There might be another way to figure out his identity, but I'm not going to discuss because this post is already long enough. Also because on the scale of 1 to illegal, it would be very illegal.

Magically, the car accident thread vanished. Thanks Age.

Detective Oat:

Maybe an easier way to find out who I am would be to ask the people who know me. This would be much easier and would register a 1 on the "1 to illegal" scale. Or better yet, ask Age -- he knows me.

lol good point!!! forgot about that one!
