Just trying to figure out what advice you're asking for?
"My imaginary internet friend won't play with me anymore, what should I do?"
:confused:

jezus, if he'd gone through what I went through on this board oh so many years ago, sounds like he'd go cry for a month in the closet.

Some people have their ego tied up in the online world. Some people can't laugh at themselves, only others. Some people need to rent some perspective.

The problem with internet forums is the low barriers to entry, so what starts out as a really good group of knowledgeable people tends to turn into a muck of 15-year-olds wasting time after a few years of popularity. The OT boards seem to be the worst (PP OT mostly excepted since there are thoughtful people on here). It'd tough to find marque-specific boards that aren't dominated by people asking about rimZzZ.

Anyway, you don't really know what else is going on with this guy. This may have been the last straw that sent him off the board, or he might just need time to cool down. He might have turned off all the notifier emails so he doesn't even know that you sent him a PM. If he was really that active on the board, I'd say wait and let him get back to you.

Thanks all for your kind words, and FU to the other jerks. I finally did get in contact and it was as I suspected. The last straw has been broken by people that prefer to $hit on things instead of just being humorous and creative. It got old quickly and to be honest, if I was him, I would've made the same move. Some people really $uck as you can tell from some of these posts in a simple opinion/advice request.
Makes you wonder what makes them tick...

When I was having trouble with Unclezak following through on his promised reimbursement for a car he sold me without having the title, he threatened to post that I had offered to accept some 'sexual services' instead of the $3000 he owed.

I guess it just wasn't intimidating enough, since I turned him in to eBay and published the story on the web and on Pelican.

Funny how people think a few words on a public forum can hold so much power.

You lucky lucky b*stard, what wouldn't I give for a threat like that from unclezak, I dream of being able to accept 'sexual services' from him, I mean they only hung me the right way up this morning...... etc etc etc from the L o B
