we does not include your multiple different login names either
It’s always interesting how one of the other logins chimes in with support. The effort to change the writing style isn’t fooling anyone.
Please enlighten us to the other logins.
Ya, if that were the case we would have tracked that with the IPs unless someone is literally using multiple internet connections and proxy servers in different regions just to do that on this forum. If they are going through that much trouble they can have at it.
RRM posts a thoughtful and non-combative post and asks agree or disagree and you guys then troll him. Model the behavior you expect and reward the behavior you see. Otherwise you're no better.
its very easy to use 2 or 3 different login from the same location.
RRM thoughtful and non-combative - good one.
You're not familiar with how networks function are you? All network traffic that is outbound from a location [not in all instances but in most] typically comes from a single IP address. For example say someone connects to the forum from the IP address 65.122.109.8 in a Starbucks in Richmond. Totally made up. But anyone sitting in that cafe looks like they're coming from the same IP. Even if you switch usernames the IP is the same. The only way around that is to proxy around the internet and look like you're coming from different places. I guess someone could buy or run vpn services in multiple locations and route themselves to those specific vpns or proxy servers for each username. So that means they would have to manage 2 or 3 of those and remember or keep track of which service they're using as they post under that name. Doable? Sure, but that's a lot of effort. You could also have multiple things at your house like use your isp, then bounce to your phone, then use a mifi or something. But the routers would still give away your general location.
What you might not have witnessed was my comments were to make a point. You can debate and attack an idea but when you attack a person you do your argument no justice. This goes for anyone. Saying someone is insane immediately weaponises your words and puts the recipient on the defensive. It devolves the discussion.
So I made my statement. Then rr claimed he expected my lack of clarification on the matter. But the next afternoon made a perfectly acceptable response [maybe it was in jest or spite as it was clear my point] but i quoted it and responded that he's probably right, despite my optimistic view.
But instead of acknowledging the thoughtful post the situation is trolled.
You model the behavior you expect from others and reward that behavior when you see it.
Anyway, that's the last I'll comment on this matter. If you get it you get it, you get it. If not keep bashing your faces against the keyboard expecting different results.
