Would either of you be so kind, as to give me the essence of Spencer's comments on the subject?

If only, to keep 'hip' on the subject!

A simple man... who hasn't the time to log on. *smile*

I'd be happy to... but I am trying to adhere to Patrick's request that things from other boards not be posted here.

Drop me an email, and I will send you Spencer's rather long and rather impressive letter which details the situation with clarity and which leaves little room for argument (which is why there was none)...

You really do need to get an account there, Burke... I'm sure you'll like it. (Many have departed here in favor of it...) The posters are more civil, no one gets away with "spin" and the information given seems to be a lot more useful... IMHO...

Stay over on that other board that you've grown so fond of.

Why are you here now? Recruiting?

Nope... not recruiting.

I didn't start the thread, Dan...

Merely setting the record straight when I saw "Spin and Slander" at work again.

Burke, out of respect of Patricks board I think dirty laundry from elsewhere should not clutter his public forum. I am writing a response to Spencer and will send you a copy of my reply to your e-mail.

Jack, I think you hit the nail on the head, the Spencer Russian Guide, very good Most the regular posters on 'SPG' know what's going on. It's the new posters and newby's who do not understand what is really happening. Whenever something negative is said of any of the paying sponsor's, the negative remarks are quickly removed. When Spencer is questioned about the removal it is because of a recent upgrade change or the original poster decided to delete it.

Mr. Robert,

I see you joined this fine forum in April 2003. So, obviously, you have been around so long that you know all about RWG, dont you?

Please, tell me what name you post under at RWG, and when exactly you joined. Was it, pray tell, in April of 2003???

It is this nonsense that is not allowed on RWG. Likely, you have never been there and thus do not know how much valuable informaation there is there.

You are right though. "Most the regular posters on 'RWG' do know what's going on." Unlike you.

Yes... thank God we have Landscaper -- er, I mean Jack -- to lead the way in showing us integrity and honesty!

The last true crusader left to protect us all from dishonest agencies!

What a guy!

The only time I ever see you post here now is to take a shot at Jack or someone else here and to say that this other board is so superior.  I am assuming that it is because of this Spencers heavy-handed censoring that you must come here to vent.  He rides that board like a dictator in my opinion.  If anyone so much as sneezes, they find that their privileges have disappeared along with every post they ever made!  There is rarely any rebuttal, argument or basis for explanation, they are just gone.

Patrick here uses much less censorship and the people here like it.  People can actually have conversations here and disagreement without waking up to find that they have been removed from the board for it!  

And I would have to agree with Dan, that since your departure, things have been about 98% more civil, calm and relaxed.  Why the need to come back here and start the garbage again?  If you are so happy in sugarland, why the continual need to keep coming back to ding people?  Why not just move on with your life and new board and be done with it?  
Personally, I have no problem if you want to post here, but not if it always have to be a negative WWF slam thing...

Later,
Oscar

Hmmm... why wouldn't I want to post good things... like stories of my wife, and our great life experiences here...

Wow... gee... I wonder...

After my wife was called a b**tch, wh**e, and even a c*nt... after we faced threats (real and imagined) and had men trying to find her email address so they could flood her with hate mail...

Wonder why I don't post "good" things any more?

The good things that happen in my life no one on here really wants to hear... and you know that. There are a lot of guys hoping that my wife leaves me, and takes me for everything. (Sorry, btw, things are better now than ever...)

As for the "constant negative" aspects of my posts... I really was just responding to what I saw as an unfair and untruthful shot at Spencer.

BTW, I would similarly defend Patrick if someone on RWG took a shot at him.

So... you see my defense as negative, but the accusation was...?

Also interesting that you complain about censorship on RWG... were *you* ever censored there? It seemed to me that everyone let you correct some slander aimed at you, and that you were always treated fairly...

Just from what I read...

Let's be just a little logical here- If I were on a board and my wife were called all these names (I sure didn't see any of the names you mention) I would have to ask myself, "is this the place I really want to spend my time"?  It doesn't matter if it is right or wrong, I just wouldn't want to be there.

If nobody wants to "hear the good things in your life", I guess you would have to ask yourself why?  I always see people here happy for others, congratulating others etc..  Why would they not be so quick to do so with you Mark?  You might want to ask yourself that question..

Regarding how I as treated-  I went there to defend myself from someone who claimed to be me.  I was banned by Spencer before I even got there because "he didn't want any trouble" LOL!  I finally got permission to post and then my thread was quickly put in some obscure area nobody visits in about one day!  And there have been many others here who have spoken of worse experiences there through the heavy handed censoring.  Do I care?  Not really, I just don't go there because I don't like it.  I don't like the censoring, I think the knowledge base here is superior and I like the format here, the way the continual thread works instead of posting topics etc.. I like to see all the responses at once.

Despite all, you just lost that one: 116 to 84.

Are you banned, Oscar?

Mark was, rather, fair on that issue; you, however, were not.

You 'crazy' guys...

Sorry Burke, but more than a few here have felt Mark comes here only to take shots at people.  That's what I feel as well so I said as much.  I came in on the middle of this debate but I don't see you dinging anyone else for the same comments...

No, I am not banned anywhere.  I changed my email so I thought I had to change handles as well..

Suggest you pull that log out of your own eye and start practicing what you claim to believe. Forgiveness as I recall is one of the central tenets of Christianity.

Since your wife is a recent arrival I'm sure you and she have many insights and experiences that you be helpful for other guys who will be going through the transition.

Let's keep it positive.

Haven't you got anything at all better to do than to visit here and try to cause rancor?

Mark, you are a talented guy - with far too much to offer to persist in this childish behavior.

Grow up.
