I am sorry to read your post Jon, and do hope you'll reconsider. I honestly feel that 95% of my postings during 2001 have been flame free, and the other 5% involved the user Camera Guy inciting the inevitable responses, often resorting to outright lies to do it. It always takes at least TWO to tango. What went on in latter 2000 is history. No it was not nice, and yes, it often was involving me, but everything moves on, and many, myself included, learned from it, and no-one wanted to see it re-occur in 2001.

A wide array of FlyerTalkers used fake IDs latter 2000, myself included, and many admitted to it, myself included, and many prominent FT'ers did NOT admit to doing it, and are still anonymous among us. So be it. Raking over those coals serves little purplse as what's done is done. Turning on the IP Logging has kept fake users down to 2 or 3 instances I have seen during all of 2001 .... and all were quickly detected and disicplined by FlyerTalk staff. And none were me, or had anything whatever to do with me.

Camera Guy has a stalking obsession for any post I make. If that keeps him amused in his spare time, rather than talking flying and points and positive advice, so be it, it is a free country. Basic checking by anyone here will show Camera Guy more than I has been the main toxic force on FlyerTalk in 2001 by using this tactic, as it often incites others. If anyone cares to check his posts over the past 2 months this will be shown as correct and may surprise many. His posts are mostly attacking me, and serve no positive purpose whatever for FT or other FT'ers except to start and keep afire flame wars. And then make the above sanctimonious posting. Go look - it is very disturbing behaviour for a man to say this below on a thread today, when his own "contributions" re points or tips or flying advice to any others here on FT are self evident:

Well Camera Guy .... you stalk pretty well every post I make, so I'll let others search my last 100 or whatever posts and look at your last 100 and make their own judgement as to who is the bigger problem to FT.
