Glad you asked. I have absolutely no issue with having someone prove who they say they are...when there is probable cause to think otherwise. However, you have no cause. You said, "I have information leading me to believe we have a rat in the house with the whole SAM1952/JoeyF situation." No, you don't any information other than some other board member's suspicion. If I am wrong, lay out your information. I still stand behind my earlier statement: To accuse two people of being one in the same w/o any proof is pretty irresponsible.

We just see this differently so let's just agree to disagree. As Pete said, let's get back to the main issue which seems to have slipped through the cracks...

You would have been better off just shutting up after you said the above statement. Writing styles, other peoples thoughts, both SAM and Joey commenting on similar things...SAM not returning my emails in a timely manner etc etc....all give me enough cause to ask a harmless request. As for you David, as my father used to say "Son, you would argue with a billboard and give it a 30 minute headstart". You run your board your way I will do my best with this one. I will usually error on the side of caution, which is what I am doing with SAM....Again, I am sure you see it differently. My mind isn't changing so I suggest we move on from this. thanks again....

Leon, you forgot to mention that Sam and Joey were also reading the board coincidently at the same time.

Whether it's "fair" or not, I would just rather not have someone on this board who we have reason to suspect would screw you in a deal.

That being said, I appreciate the fairness Leon desires and how he isn't all about censoring and banning people for every little thing.

Leon has always been able to whip me into shape effectively, and that's quite a task.

I TOTALLY agree this!!! I have been on a ton of different message boards in my time on a variety of different topics and i have to say that Leon's style of moderating is one of the best (if not the best) ive seen. Far too many moderators are too quick to ban someone, lock up threads, censor threads, edit threads etc. and i believe all the things i mentioned are not done by Leon unless absolutely neccessary!

Thanks for the kind words guys. I try my best. That being said, the push back I am getting from Sam, on proving who he is, is very, very disconcerting. I have exchanged several emails today with him and he really doesn't want to take 2 minutes to prove who he is. This is NOT the way a person who is not guilty usually acts, in my experiences. IT's kind of like saying someone did something wrong and their defense is "you can't prove it". When someone says that they are almost always guilty. I am not saying Sam isn't Sam....but he is acting either very immature or guilty. One or the other. I even told him I would do the same for him and prove who I am. We shall see......

And too, nothing against David, above, for expressing his disapproval of the way this is being handled. I have no problem with folks disagreeing with me. It's America.

Thanks, Leon! Even though we may not agree on the issue, I concur with the statements made about you and the great job you do of moderating the board. I know it requires a lot of you, and can probably be very frustrating sometimes. Thank you for these boards and keep up the good work!
