All,
I may have something of value to offer in re the blocked IP business.
Andy "Nine-Iron" Walker orchestrated the effort to drive me from the EF. And throughout, I was his willing accomplice. I set the trap, and the little nitwit walked right into it.
It began when he blocked my IP. Then, in response to a revelatory post I made via a friend's computer, he stated publicly that I had not been banned, that if there was an access problem it must be attributable to a failure of my computer, and that in any event I was lying.
So again I used that same friend's computer, accessed the site, and posted on a topic that now escapes me.
Here's how Nine-Iron gave away his game: The following week I once again tried to access the EF from the same friend's computer, and lo and behold ... its IP address also was blocked.
After a few months and without notice, I once again could access the EF. And no, I had not repaired my computer, which otherwise had worked perfectly throughout this charade.
Nine-Iron made the terrible mistake of attempting to engage me in a battle of wits. Against all rules of gentlemanly conduct, I chose to fire on an unarmed man. He was humiliated, and he quickly disappeared my posts.
He next challenged me to a debate (on God knows what!), understanding full well my position on debating long-settled issues. All the while, Burton and the multiple identities posing as "Colby" egged him on. "Drago is a coward!" they proclaimed.
Yawn.
Nine-Iron is, in my Constitutionally protected and well-informed opinion, a liar, an agent provocateur, and a sissy.
Okay, I'll withdraw the last characterization.
There isn't a sissy under God's stars who couldn't whip his pocked posterior.
Okay, I'll withdraw that comment, too.
Nine-Iron would enjoy the whipping.
As for John Simkin, a man for whom I once harbored respect and affection, all I can offer is this expression of disappointment in the distance he has fallen and all that he has become.
And for all who don't get the "Nine-Iron" bit: It's the club that golf enthusiast Walker has shoved up his arse.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
