The War on Democracy

There was a poster years ago who contacted me via private message and told me that most of the posters in “the kitchen” were coming from the same IP address.
I don’t know how he found out, and that poster quit the forum after that.
I thought it was interesting.

So as you believed him and won't mention his name we know he was a full blown nutter like you . . . and that most likely, one or both of you is lying.

I dont know why he would contact me out of the blue and lie about it.
He seemed genuine in his concern, and disgusted by what he termed, "someone who argues back and forth with himself".
A bag-o-rats maybe, or a seriously mentally ill whack job.
Maybe a prankster like Phil Hendry, or maybe like you said, he made it all up.

The way these forums work, only the administrator or owner (or a person trusted by them) would have access to the raw data that includes the IP addresses, unless they choose to make them public somehow. Maybe that is one of the powers that come with Premium Membership.

I was informed by a poster that many of the posters in the "kitchen" came from the same IP address.
Thats all I can tell you.

He probably knows if he did we would laugh at him . . . even more.

I honestly cant remember the handle of the poster.
I do know it wasn't rat patrol.
I usually remember everything but his name has just gone blank.

I'll work on it.
I do my best work when you people are laughing.

This is from a message to newsgroup rec.skiing.alpine, as presented by groups..com, which does a pretty good imitation of what newsgroups looked like when they were all text, before world wide web. It shows the message headers that are suppressed when the message is cleaned up for display --

What it looks like without the headers is here --

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/rec.skiing.alpine/CBu-jPRwYGE/hogFPiI1BwAJ

I don't know of any way to get similar data from what is presented on the public side of the forum, and I don't know what the message headers look like on their way into the forum, as could be seen, if he wishes to look, by the forum owner/admin.
