Teribus is a member. He is as polite as anyone. He isn't abusive. He has strong opinions, and like all the Mudcat members who participate in BS threads, enjoys the debate.

So one really has to wonder, why (if this was just funnin') did Bobert decide to make the "funnin" at Teribus' expense?   How many of you would think it funny if another member started a thread for the express purpose of mocking you?

Teribus, I'm afraid you have fallen victim to the Mudcat obsession with poster's identities, even though you have played by all the Mudcat "rules" of acceptability, ie joining and using a pseudonym. Apparently you trip some trigger in Bobert, so he, in his usual passive aggressive way, decided to come after you.

Personally, I would never give my permission to this or any other site administrator to release any information about me, on principle. It is a very dangerous precedent to set, especially in the US Patriot Act era. Period.

There is no reason why anyone should allow the Mudcat lynch mob mentality (which is what Bobert is playing into) here to start witch hunts like this. People end up in court over site users' identities being exposed without their permission (and yes, I can cite the legal sources). It would be quite simple to shut Mudcat down in a NY minute, because Max doesn't have the money to defend a suit against him, or even an investigation.

So Teribus, my advice is ignore this sort of thing because it will only antagonize people to come after you.

Bobert - you really should get out more - you obviously have time on your hands.

As to your contention, which I note is partly retracted in your post of 3.02.03 - 08:35 PM, I would offer a simple solution that will that will blow your theory out of the water.

THE SOLUTION:

PM Max - he can, without compromising any ethical consideration relating to Mudcat membership, tell you whether or not Guest/Teribus are one in the same person. He will also be able to confirm the following:

Whether I have EVER posted as an anonymous GUEST - I will give you the answer - Yes I have, on the the rare occasions when I have accessed the forum on a computer that is not my own and have hit the "Submit Button" before adding suffix Teribus to the Guest label - You yourself have done this Bobert - so please do not take this admission on my part as corroborating your "Theory".

Having done that please revert with the outcome of that enquiry on this Thread - Hmmmmmmmmm?

I know that the forum administrators could track and trace me easily enough even if the new American Gestapo DIDN'T put thumbscrews on their asses (and if they have thumbs on their asses then they're concerned with a whole different set of issues), so secrecy isn't a big deal to me.

Heck with X-ray vision, GUEST, I got Z-vision and with my glasses on it's Double-Z!!! Ha, I knew that would impress you. But now I don't want to hurt your feelings but I think those "Find Waldo" books were pretty boring. Yeah, I reckon if I wanted to spend a few weeks bouncing between those two sites I could figure out who you think youn are but, like I said, I don't want to hurt your feelings so... forget it. Plus, I don't need to. When I say I know you, I don't have to go back and reread everything you've ever posted. I just recognize it. It's a lot like musicans. Like Mississippi Fred McDowell is Mississippi Fred McDowell. Once you know someone, you know them.

Okay, I was just messin' with you and T. Now I'm not a 100% that T ain't you but I'm 100% that you is you. Hey, that ain't all bad. Since you (and not some of the GUEST want-abees) and I kinda agree on lots of stuff, it ain't all that hard to keep you straight from the others. And some of the others dangle the partisipules, something that you would never do. That gives 'em away.

And lastly, I really don't care who you are as long as you are. Lots of folks here are threatened by "guests". I'm not. I'm also not afraid of the dark or walkin' under ladders...

Yeah, this may end this thread but I will go on record of saying that if you ain't Teribus, and only you (and perhaps T, should T exist) know that, well, it would be interesting for the two of you to go head to head.

But then again, maybe you are going head to head on a daily basis...

Thanks for the sites but all the characters looked like Bart Simpspn to me. Guess ya gotta develop a level of appreciation but should ya ever want to... PM me and I promise not to divulge any of it...

Nice try Bobert, but clearly the GUEST and Teribus are two different people. Please note the clear and perceptive analysis of Teribus concerning the Falklands War in the "Thatcher Day" thread. Teribus has had extensive experience in military and strategic studies, and my guess is that he is a former British military officer (or historian).

GUEST is a victim of Shared Delusional Disorder (though I believe the most current DSM-IV now calls it something else).

And by the way, if you meant "sniffed" as in detected, you used a poor, but none-the-less quasi-appropriate verb. If you meant that the conspiracy was exposed, and destroyed, then perhaps you meant "snuffed". While we are all victims of mis-typed or mispelled words from time to time, you might want to advise your intentions.

PS: You cannot have missed the time line in the Friday Washinton Post on page A10 which clearly laid out the North Koreans actions six years before Bush uttered the words, "Axis of Evil". The President, during this time, was called "Clinton".

How to End Racism
            Recent events remind us that racism remains rampant. Yet we can easily end racism through understanding and education.

Be careful of your duty to your Lord who created you from a single soul (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife (Eve); and from the two of them He spread abroad a multitude of men and women" (Qur'an 4:1).

haysoos, Jack...they just blew up a radioactive space craft over my very head. Damn right I'm frantic. The Air Cav is buzzing around a thousand square miles of my home state. And the sad thing is, the Bushes are so unimaginative, they're using a 41-year old Joint Chiefs plan to ram their agenda through. (See the Northwoods thread).

Bobert, From the posts I've read my gut tells me they are different people. While their writing is different their tactics, and thought processes seem to be quite different.

GUEST is alarmist and frantic, Teribus cool and dismissive, GUEST starts threads, Teribus reacts. GUEST is a GUEST, Teribus has a name.

They do however, seem to share the tendancy to react without examining their sources.

Bobert, grand idea starting this thread! Just what Mudcat needs, ANOTHER thread obsessing on guest identities, to add to the 3 billion already in the archive.

Cabin fever getting to you, is it?

Yeah. Little Hawk, that's what I mean. Like what if GUEST and Teribus are like two identities that live in the same body and every day they fight it out here in the Catbox, but have a deal with each other to no post on the same thread for that would bring them in *direct*conflict with one another and well, that would not be good. So one T-Bord stakes out one end of the spectrum of ideas and thoughts and G-ster (GUEST) the other and then at the end of the day they tally up the score and one of the two egos goes to bed happy. And then, the next day, they start fresh.

Hey, I don't know. Stranger things have happened and there are some rather strange rules that seem to apply to these two, 'er one, 'er anywhere between 1 and 2 depending on the alignment of the planets and the positions of the moon.

So, here's what I'd like to see. I'd like to see them go at it in a thread. I would be willing to not post one danged thing if that were to occur and I thing it would be interesting if no one else did either. The only scarey part that I can think of is that if that were to occur, we might never hear from either one of them again. And that would be most unfortunate.

Hmmmmm...

Aren't they often on opposite sides of certain issues though?

It'd be interesting to know the day jobs of some of these people, wunnit?

And you're right, Bobert. There is an intriguing similarity in their sentence construction, not to mention their view of world events ...

Hey, anyone ever figured out why Teribus and GUEST (don't play coy, you know who I'm talking about) rarely, if ever, post on the same thread????

Anyone notice the similarity of sentence and paragraph structure or the average length of the posts??? Anyone wonder why neither of them are into blue-clicky stuff???? And both consistently spell words correctly (I think...)!!!

Now there's a big ol' *Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm*, fir ya to ponder.
