Ok - I remember that guy also. When I started reading here sometime last
year, I think RPB was in a cycle of posts from him. Followed by a round from the other guy. I stopped reading for a while until it died down - I also had paddling to do, so it was not all their fault ; Thanks for the reply, I liked your page too, it was very informative. Ken "Wilko" wrote in message ... No Spam wrote: Ok, now I'm curious. I've been reading here (RBP, not this thread - or maybe it is this thread) for quite some time and the name is familiar - was he the sponson guy? Nope, he is a non-paddler land owner who got really angry when paddlers used "his" part of a little stream in Colorado (Was it Boulder Creek?). In one such event he described the paddlers calling him (and his mother?) names. At first he would lure (new to this forum) paddlers into "discussions" with carefully worded messages, then he'd verbally kick the **** out of them. Most of the regular visitors knew to ignore him. Lately, he got into a sad shadow of his former eloquent self, becoming verbally abusive and badly worded in his responses. I think he lost his riverside land not so long ago when his mother died. The spamson guy was just a completely different pest: he'd post the same posts hundreds of times, hijacking every thread, attacking people blindly and using disgusting arguments (the deaths of children on a paddling trip and such) to try to force paddlers (including white water paddlers!) and the Coast Guard to sell his floatation devices... Where Scott used to be pretty bright, spamson guy Timmy was a clear case of someone with at least one screw loose... It was because of the latter that I put up the trolling page. http://wilko.webzone.ru/troll.html Wilko -- Wilko van den Bergh wilko(a t)dse(d o t)nl Eindhoven The Netherlands Europe ---Look at the possibilities, don't worry about the limitations.--- http://wilko.webzone.ru/ |
Is there such a thing as a 'foreigner' on the internet?
Linux and Apple users maybe? Sorry, when I'm not on the water, I sideline as a techie nerd. I couldn't help myself. - I will also plead insanity as I have not been able to get out on the water for about 2 months and my brain is beginning to rot. Ken "Dave Van" wrote in message link.net...

I took rivermans recommendation, and did some research on some of my apparent antagonist, and found that you are a well document foreigner. OMG ROFLMAO!!!

Hey Wilko,
I'm glad to hear from you again, and I am glad that my last post brought you so much laughter. Laughter is good for the heart, so you should be in good shape, at least for awhile. Let me know when you need some more, and I'll see what I can come up with. When you are ROTFLMAO, be sure and wear your elbow pads. I would hate to be the cause of you incurring a carreer ending injury! I did do some googling on Weiser also, and found that usenet has a killfile on him, so it appears that he has gone other places, since he can't get thru here so easily. Also I heard that he no longer has the ranch, but that could just be one of the urban legends. He worked in Boulder for the Boulder Camera, and I found some interviews. I'll let you check them out if your interested, no point jambing things up here. But I found that he is still posting on some of the other systems, and hasn't changed his tune. Before, I came here to the RBP, I had run into Timmy's Sponsons on some of the other boards, but haven't seem him around recently at all. Checked them out because I was not really familiar with their strategy, and some one thought I may be one or the other. Glad to say I am not, but now Dave Van is comparing me to Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery,and I am not him either. As far as you being a foreigner, no offense met! To me in USA, you are from another country, hense a foreigner. Now if I had said, that you are strange, I may or may not be right, for there definitly are some strange ones on the net. I am sure Dave is right though, there are no foreigners on the internet. and now just for Dave, .....Life,.... Live it! Yeah ....Baaby! TnT |
Only in America could getting accurate confirmation of intelligence before
starting a war be of greater importance than telling the truth about who you had oral sex with. Keenan, I think you meant ....Lesser importance .... in order to maintain the sarcasm. We may not have our facts straight, but at least you could keep your sarcasm straight!! TnT |
Bill, we have a good friend here in town who is a world famous doctor,
and Half of what he makes is paid out for mal-practice insurance. What is desparately needed is tort-reform. He is a specialist, and the procedures run over $50,000/ procedure. You can imagine the cost of the insurance. He could not work the way your dentist did if he wanted too. Almost 200 employees in his practice, and your right, a large accounting office to handle the medical claims insurance. Highly trained people who can handle all the different types of insurance issues. Like they say, there ain't no free lunch! But then think of all the jobs that are created. Somebody has to count all that money down at the insurance company, and the Lawyers are sure happy! all the way to their bank. He gets sued at least 10 times a year, by some malcontent gold digger! And another one for Dave, ..... Yeah, Baaby..!! Live.., Live it! TnT Thanks Dave, I like that, I'll use it some more! |

the Democrats should be able to run yet another dud next time around and manage a win. That is my biggest fear, that they will not even try to find the right person for the job, just somebody that can win and that may very well be anyone. As a disclaimer I will state that I am a Republican, but I vote for every office based on merit not affiliation. I have never voted straight party and probably never will. I would love to have 2 worthy candidates to choose from next time but I will not hold my breath. There are a few very worthy democrats out there, I hope that one of them makes it to the front-runner this time. I'm sorry but Kerry was not a choice I could make. Of the Dems in the running this time I kind of liked Lieberman, but since he did not make it to the front, I am sorry to say I don't know enough about him to say for sure if I would have voted for him, but from what I do know, I believe I would have. The primary system just does not seem to be bringing the best forward and I don't know what might change that, but I'm hoping someone in the right places knows how and does it. I would love to have the problem of deciding between 2 candidates that I like next time, instead of figuring out who I think is the lesser evil Ken. Ken, not No Spam? See we're getting on speaking terms, and you were an R all the time. Like Eddy Murphy said, "You Devil, you" Threw that in for Dave! You are right, US politics is based on who can get nearest the center of the merry-go-round, and the others will get spun off. There is less and less difference between candidates from a true issue basis. But that does not mean the candidate wants to be known as a moderate, since that has come to mean you don't believe in anything. So there is this turf war going on for a 1% advantage at the center. So usually it breaks down to who combs his hair a certain way, and catch phrases, and Madison AVE. marketing. Why would the best come and want to be put forward, for a not-so-free ride in the washing machine, we call American poitics, where the wash cycle never ends, escept with a spin cycle, and then another wash! So we have to either choose the lesser of two evils, or the better known, and that means the incumbemt has an advantage, which means He is the lesser at stake choice for most voters! Its been fun, outa here for now, Life, Live it! Tinkerntom |
Bill here is an example of our tax dollars at work, solving pertinent
health care issues, http://9news.com/acm_news.aspx?OSGNA...7-c589c01ca7bf We here in Colorado are going to be so much healthier, at least from the rampant plague hitting the central high plains, Broken Toe Syndrome! TnT |

I'm not being sarcastic. It's true. I can't think of any other country where the sexual habits of the president would be more important than the waging of war. |
