GUWonder, as I said in the other thread, you have me completely confused. ChaseTheMiles is referring to my having flamed her (and, yes, I have admitted to doing that).

In that same thread, I specifically cited you as a person who may be anti-Israel but is not anti-Semitic.

Unless you live a double life, changing your personality from GUWonder to ChaseTheMiles and vice-versa, I have no idea to what you are referring. (And, no, I do NOT believe that is the case.)

Actually I am referring not just that, but also other attacks including searching supposedly all my posts in OMNI, calculating the percentage or number of posts concerning Isareli-Palestinian topics, and based on your judgement, indict me further. This is not only unscientific (since we don't know whether you really were able to obtain all of OMNI's data, nor is OMNI defining the whole person that I am), the unusual behavior exhibited is akin to stalking. I shudder to think what you would have liked to access if you had my social securitiy number and birth date. I would recommend people not ever meet you in person or you may take down their names and conduct cyber searches.

By the way, you have obviously admitted to flaming and were just waiting to see if the moderator would do something about it. Remember, we are encouraged to take the high road in TOS, ignoring you is not agreeing with you nor letting you off. Moderators are people just like the rest of us; they don't get to read all the threads, unless you expect them to conduct detail searches as you did.

Debate me anytime, but don't resort to name calling and personal attacks when you run out of logic. It only debases yourself.


(Edited to add: I was travelling extensively in late December, barely had time for internet and OMNI, and did not have time to fully react to Dovster's offensive posts. Next time I will know to report to the moderators immediately.)

Unless ChaseTheMiles and I become an item (not likely) I think referring to us as vice-versa is going to be difficult. [Chase: Send me a photo. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif An FT dating service is not my style, but women with brains and beauty..., who knows? ]

I am not anti-Israeli, although I am strongly anti-Likud hardliners (in terms of approach, actions, maybe even ideology). I am not anti-Saudi, although I am anti-Saudi hardliner monarchists and fundamentalists (in terms of approach, actions and definitiely ideology).

Really? Such as what?

Interesting. On this very thread, on of the moderators noted that I had posted 145 in Omni in the past three months. I can only presume he got that figure by doing a search. Are you trying to tell me that he was stalking me? Somehow, I very much doubt that he was.

You can stop shuddering. I would not do a single thing if I had access to your social security number, birth date or any other information about you. I don't want to disappoint you, but you are not very high up in my list of priorities.

Do you mean that I should avoid personal attacks like accusing someone of being a stalker?

There you go again, Dovster. I can't agree with arguing for arguing's sake. I said your bahavior was akin to stalking; whether you are actuallly a stalker in reality life, I don't know yet. If an OMNI moderator conducts a search, I consider it part of their job. Another odd aspect to your behavior is that most people would respect a moderator's decision to delete a post or lock a thread, albeit with a few questions. But you, you have continued to argue and expand the argument in Randy's forum. It's not a total waste of time, since I finally have the chance to tell about my experience from your attacks. On the other hand, enough is enough, I would suggest you accept the post's deletion and move on with your life.

Thanks for asking; if only I were 20 years younger! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

ChaseTheMiles, while I have admitted -- long before you got on this thread -- that I flamed you in December, I also said that I did not lie about you.

In other words, I believe that what I said was extremely negative but true.

To go into why I said what I did would involve re-opening the Omni argument, quoting from your posts in it, and giving all the specifics of your statements and my replies. As I have said that I do not wish to post on Omni any more, it would be self-defeating to have an Omni discussion here.

As for my having made other attacks on you, you know that is not true. I can not say that I would not have under similar circumstances, I can only say that those circumstances never arose again.

But you are right about one thing -- I should put the whole CTM-Dovster debate behind me and get on with my life. I suggest you do the same.

The first rule of OP-FOP is that you do not talk about OP-FOP.

parnel -- seems like he has taken the Fifth on your comments? What you outline is sadly just the tip of the iceberg I can assure you regarding certain OMNI Mods.

Oz Stamps....I guess that's the "silence is golden" rule now being practiced by Sean.

Put up or shut up, as you are fond of saying.

FewMiles..

No fifth, I'm just rapidly losing interest in this thread. There's nothing new. It seems that after 5 pages it boils down to: the TOS will be enforced, some can't and won't accept that FT is a moderated community, and many enjoy arguing for arguing's sake.

I did ask parnel to ignore another user and asked the other user to ignore parnel. parnel decided to give me the reasons why he didn't want to ignore the other user, and reiterated his dislike of moderation. I told him: "I'm not into taking sides. When you're on my turf (OMNI) I'm just asking you to ignore him, not to bait or be baited. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

Wow, wasn't that exciting?

Sean, you are doing the best job you can in a difficult environment. Even most critics, in their heart, know that.

Thanks GU.

Now, since I'm taken to task for not responding to parnel's comment, I wonder if ozstamps can back up his latest OMNI allegation with some fact? Just one name of an FTer that's been banned from OMNI for questioning a moderator's decision.

I think I'll give him an hour! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

He is doing an acceptable job...just a little too zealous I do think. And, we seem to get along pretty well on the AC board w/o moderation except when sh!t disturbers show up and we then pretty much moderate ourselves.
I think that bugs some people paricularly some moderators.
