Tough situation with Fabian & Dom. I like both of them. Have empathy for Fabian as I'm a spoiler nit myself, but expecting an old like Dom to change his ways is going to be nothing more than an exercise in frustration. Confirmed lol @ Fabian for thinking he's going to get thru to Dom on that one, then deciding to call Dom the dumb one.

Dom consistently generates good discussion and original content. Fabian mostly just swoops down off his high horse to critique people. Both of them have value, but a survivor would be flat out suicide for Fabian.





p2 dog - yeah you're getting pretty screwed to pay that amount for that level of access. Go to google and search on "internet providers in my area" or similar where you put in your zip code and it displays your available options, then report back. Also consider calling Frontier's CS dept and asking them what your current options are, while explaining that you feel you are overpaying for what you have now. Tell them your friends are telling you that you are overpaying and are encouraging your to change services - that way the conversation will be collaborative rather than adversarial.

Is thremp banned from OOT officially? I know he thinks he is but I don't recall specifically.
05-21-2018 , 05:14 PM
Thremp seems to have special ways but I find it pretty hard to really dislike him.

Dom did have the best thing that shouldn't piss you off, but does:

Walking parallel with a car in a parking until they pass you so you can cross without breaking stride, only to have them stop and wave you across.

Still like me some Fabian though.

I thought he was permabanned from the site and then given a carve-out in H&F.

I think he's ban on sight, but, just like babs, some places don't pull the trigger as fast.

My friend from mid-western Ohio tells me his "only choice has always been Spectrum / Time Warner / Charter / whatever they call themselves this week. I wonder how "rural" he's talking. It may not be available for him." He pays $90/mo for download speed of 400Mbps.

Caught up on the straw talk. The correct play is to bite the ende off a twizzler. The turtles will thank you.

I think El'd is to blame for thremp still being around. That said I think thremp is banned from basically every place I have any inclination to post, so I am ok with him still on site.

I only remember he outed that one Business & Finance mod as a scammer circa ~2008 (search "Minimax Consulting" for more info). It was pretty fast IIRC; after Thremp outed him, that guy never posted again on 2+2.
Not cliffs, but here begins a nice exchange between him and Haralabos (coltranedog) in sports betting.

It's that last part, especially in combination with the first two parts, that tends to put people in the "bad poster" category for me. He's in the David Sklansky/nunnehi category of posters, albeit a lighter version for sure.

Bgp,

The spoiler itself wasn't a big deal at all, barely worth commenting on (and indeed I didn't the first time I read it). I was commenting on Dominic's way of responding to Rexx (and later me), which was really bad imo.
I didn't think his initial response to me was bad. He just indicated he didn't really care. Obviously in that kind of situation people are firmly in one camp or the other. I definitely wasn't calling for Survivor to be played out between you two lol. Now if H&F decided to do it with Loco and Thremp that would be another thing.

I blame El D for anything forum related that I don't blame Greg for. It works out quite well!

Another way in which you're missing out by being a n00b. Not too long ago you could blame everything on Dids. Much better.

I'm willing to keep him as backup!

Rexx,

Micro is talking about oldDids, not Dids who posts itt now.
05-21-2018 , 08:48 PM
El D,

I know but the two are interchangeable so I stand by my statement.
05-21-2018 , 09:58 PM
Rexx,


You have gone too far. TOO FAR I SAY!!!

Greg,

I kept waiting for babs to turn up in that thread.

Spoiler:
He didn't disappoint

That means current Dids is hot and spicy No wonder he's always ordering a glass of milk with his meals.

I always thought that if you measured the delta between what forum consensus thinks of a poster and what I think of a poster, Dominic would be top 3. After seeing yesterday's posts I guess I have to bump him up to the top spot!

Rexx,

His response to you was "I didn't give anything away", which is obviously wrong. Would have much preferred the "I don't care"!
05-22-2018 , 07:49 AM
Fabian,
Obviously we need to hear about the other members of the top three.
