If anyone had some new computer virus I think Biology Forums.com would be a nice spot to "test" it on.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
i suggest everybody just drop this and move on. flame wars and hacking are totally uneccesary. lets not give the asshole anymore publicity
The virus thing was just a joke!Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! What I do mean is that this biologyforums guy is bad news. From what I've seen I think he first came hear to get people on his Dictatorship like forum. Then to make sure people don't leave he threatens them by saying they shouldn't leave or else. And then he used spuriousmonkey as an example of what he could do if they don't obay him. Also there might be some sort of money incentive for having more people on a forum and this might partially explain why this biologyforums guy did this. Like I said this biologyforums guy is bad news!
You know - I'm the moderator at the www.biologyforums.com First off, apparently everyone is unaware of what spuriousmonkey did to get banned from our forums. He was warned 5 times for breaking our rules by calling me AND the admin names. Everytime he was warned he returned nothing but insults and name-calling. Then he attempted to E-mail who he thought as the bigger admin and lie and say that he was threatened with bodily harm. I guess that because everyone here "knows" Spurious of course they have no ability whatosever to realize that this is horribly immature behavior for a potential PhD. Also, Spurious is probably to embarassed to admit he did, today, send an apoligy for his actions said "it was probably a bad idea for me to even bring this up at sciforums". He knows what he did, and he knows he was given MANY chances to stop calling names. We had complaints from what was at the time literally half our members (about 9 people) for 4 of his posts. So it's pretty poor to see people not able to understand this and spout off with nonsense just because you think you knows this guy. He may not want to admit here that he was in the wrong, but he knows what he did. Our Admin is no dictator, she is a nice person who gave him plenty of chances in private - then he chose to bring it public here. And even now after the time having to be spent cleaning up the problems and responding to complaints from our members we have still offered him to return to our forums because we know that now that some understanding has taken place spurious could be an excellent contribution to our site. SpuriousMonkey - Because of your most recent E-mail, I have removed your IP ban and username ban, and you are welcome to come by today tommorrow or in 5 years.
He did, sounds likely but can you present evidence on this? we here at sciforums like proof and evidence.
I will let SpuriousMonkey respond first. I do not think he will claim otherwise, least I see no benefit not to, mistakes and problems arise but his understanding per his E-mail is enough to let things go and welcome him back...
I want to add something off-topic a bit. Spurious - Do you do those monkey drawings yourself? I like the style of them - if you do I have an idea I was wondering if you would be interests in. We had a member, I think it was LauTzu, suggest that we have our own set of biology related smilies and stuff. Would you be interested in making some? We can get a column going for ideas for smilies like a little happy, sad, mad, laughing etc.. monkey - perhaps some other things. Let me know - I would love to have those made by you! BTW, some people here refered to BF as a male (BF is female) and refered to me as a male too, sexists!
if anyone wants to continue discussions with biologyforums, i suggest their site would be a more appropiate venue stay with that thought CrystalBiology if you do not plan on being a contributor on sciforums but merely come here to recruit our members, please take a hike
Can you please explain more clearly why the hell you want to leave. I've read your posts, and don't quite unsderstand. Please be specific as to what exaclty happened that you want to leave us for the rest of your life. Thank you.
boohoo, you got called names. grow up. what is this kindergarten where you get to run and tell teacher? now you won't let monkey play with you and the other kids? give me a break. "I want to add something off-topic a bit." ooooh whoa whoa no i'm sorry that is not allowed. you will most likely be banned now. regardless of what he did, which doesn't sound like much, whoever contacted his university and gave out private personal information is entirely in the wrong. it was an irresponsible and abusive use of power.
Calling people names is not a valid form of argument and discussion, they have the right to defend them self’s against those that fail to act responsible and meaningful to the discussions and arguments on their forum. Though I did find banning spurious was a little harsh, its their forum and they can do what they want with it.
yes, with IT. not with spurious's personal information. if they want to ban him, fine. they'll have a terribly unsuccessful board but whatever. but they crossed the line.
