You're welcome to pretend a threat was made. Or block me, little fella. I don't care either way. In any case, since Senator Douchebag has left the forum there is no issue. Thankfully, no one will receive endless unwanted PM's or have him mercilessly harass their sales threads. Still, I owe him and if I find a way to pay him back, I will. And since he's hiding (none of his contact information is valid anymore) perhaps one of his fans here can pass that on to him. Cheers!

I think we're going down a road we don't want to go if we start emulating "Senator." His reputation for harassing others here is quite legendary. And, no, he doesn't have a good reputation as a mixer. He was FIRED from the teaching job he had. He serially harassed every sales post I made or a period of time, so that I had to take them all down. I'm waiting in the tall grass for that worthless POS.

Thankfully, that POS Senator is no longer here.

Anyone in Birmingham, AL available for a shoot Thursday?

I have several IDX NP-L7S batteries that are a few years old. What is their life expectancy?

Ha, "retired."

Unless Mirror (whom I warned against dissent!) posted something I can't see he doesn't seem to be confusing anything. That said, I wasn't around to witness any sustained criticism of Derwood, just occasional complaints. So from what I saw it's hard to imagine that he'd feel unwanted. It strikes me he never seemed to be fully relating to anything here either intellectually or emotionally - there appeared to be little empathy and there was an OCD quality to his posting in general. His "feeling" anything at all here seems an unlikely hypothesis and I sensed even then he was held to a lower standard of behavior because folks knew he wasn't fully in control, perhaps.

In part because I knew he did whatever he wanted here not only without consequence, but with active approval from membership and tacit approval from admin, I didn't come much. Therefore I was not around enough to have an opinion about why he left. Normally, it would make me very sad to hear someone felt unwanted, particularly someone who so obviously needed attention. But I'm afraid I can't be sad in this case after the very special attention he paid to me. Moreover, if someone can confirm he's unhappy please do.

Jose, I take you're word that he hasn't been problem for you. That's great! I'm not crazy about his posts and I was less crazy about his bizarre PM's (which he continued even after I asked him to stop), it was his deliberate, targeted harassment that was the real problem. Actually, to be accurate, it was only a problem for me. No one else had a problem with his harassing me. I can understand that - none of us can see every other post - he did it in a way no one else could easily see unless they spent the day looking (like he did). To be honest, it's flattering in a way to be held responsible for my behavior in a way no will ever hold him responsible for his. They know better. I don't know who you are, Mirror, but I can't tell if you're brave or reckless. You don't want to be seen as being on my side here! I

Thanks for your input, Constantin and soundtrane! You didn't ask why he "doesn't like" me when he went out of his way and harassed every thread I posted in for literally months. Let it go maybe? Or not, I don't care. Please go to Atlanta, "Senator!"

He's going to Atlanta? He works as a sound mixer? How? He has no website, none of his phone numbers work and he doesn't answer emails. How (or, more importantly, why) would someone hire him with no way to contact him?

Plenty of loss already in knowing "Senator." Waiting to find a way to return the favor. Tall grass. Steven, I'll take your word for it. Your description is entirely different from my experiences with him, which have been terrible, and I'm not talking about his normal forum BS, which one easily ignore. Unfortunately (for me), it went WAY beyond that.

Unfortunately, it's unlikely I'll have the chance to try.

What a pity. No doubt harassing the crap out of people at LSC.

Goodness, not even close! You'd need to spend several years deliberately and mercilessly harassing others here on a daily basis to even come close.
