Am I the only one who thought EP's " . . . opening a restaurant in Minnesota . . . " bit was a highly-skilled jab at Angelo bullshitting about moving to Minnesota to work at his cousin's restaurant? Or have I once again out-witted myself due to my obsession with bone-dry sarcasm and irony? I thought it was a jab at me. And I wasn't bullshitting, he just won't pay enough for what's open at the moment to keep a roof over my head so I have to find roommates. If he goes and opens another one, I can get the manager job and that'll cover it.

If all this is true. It would suck if this place got closed down cause IP addresses are getting handed out. This place is fine. IP addresses are not private information and as far as I'm aware there is no sanction against using them to locate someone. Based on the PM he just sent me, it sounds like Toft is also dealing with some shit. If he's being honest in the PM, then we can and should move forward and put the crap from the old board behind us. So let me start: Toft, I'm sorry that you're dealing with that. It's terrible, painful shit that (even you) don't deserve to be dealing with. I will not divulge your situation, and have no interest in trying to use at as a means to cause you any annoyance or harm. If you stop talkin about my father and his illness, then I'll stop calling you a variety of unfriendly names. I'm not here to fight or e-beef with anyone. If you're not an asshole, I won't be one either. And I wish you the best of luck in dealing with your stuff. Can we be done now?

So that was super weird. I just posted as a guest on accident. I thought I was signed in.
What's up with that? A guest can just make up a name and chuck a post down range?

You're not an idiot. I'm just highly trained in these matters. EP has a highly refined sense of sarcasm. Like a needle that is so sharp you don't feel it go in. I am the Anti-Toehold. I am the Sarcasm Hunter. They called me Sarcasmatron back at the Academy. Sometimes Sarcasmo.

And? It is 400 something miles away. I'd have to move there, which is fine, but where would I move to? I'd be earning min. wage if I left to there today , I have nobody to live with there. That isn't enough to afford a place.

If he opens another place as planned, I can take that manager position (or at another location if he moves managers) and that'll pay more than enough to be able to move there. I have a friend who said they'll hire me next year for a job in DC, pay is crap but it a good job and I can live with my brother.

I've tried to hold my opinions because its really none of my business...but man...I refusee to believe there is no work near you Angelo. And I find it insulting that you lie and claim there isn't any work, yet have the nerve to post about time wasting video games that you are putting your time into.
There is work all over the fucking place where I am at. And I still know fuckers like you that say there is no work.
I replaced a roof yesterday. Why? Because the work was there, I'm saving for a purchase and I'm not afraid to get dirty.
I'm exhausted today, up early and in the gym.
Lack of motivation is a pet peeve of mine. You want it, reach out and fucking grab it.
Unless they are boobies and your name is Conk.

Google Kill Your Culture clothing and see if you think you could get down with that style. My buddy that owns it is always looking for new artists. And that's just a start...I'll keep my ear out.

Unless someone is doxing another user, I am pretty much in favor of never banning anyone, for anything. It's a message board for cryin' out loud. Grow some thicker skin or use the ignore button. Let's hope Bobo doesn't grow a vagina. Because it would be too hard to James Bond him?

I'll just come out and say it, regardless of the ire it draws: with all of the shit Tony has spewed at various Weekly members over the years in countless e-beefs, it's pretty weak to track down a dude saying shit to you on the internet and try to get him fired for it. Straight up, that's weak and you should be ashamed. My grandmother died of Alzheimers, and if anyone feels the need to drag her through the mud, I'll remind myself that this is the internet. toftt is a huge douche, no doubt. You're probably a much better person than he is. But half the the shit you've said to people over the years could just as likely have been claimed to be serial harassment (especially due to the sheer volume of your verbal diarrhea). If this is the type of direction we're going to see from troll interaction on this board, I guess this isn't the place for me. What next, someone creates an alt account for a joke, says something that crosses a line (what the fuck even is the line? who sets it?) and suddenly we're saying it's ok to determine the guy's IP, find out where he works, and tell his boss? Suddenly our forum operates like a preschool? Spencer, Since this is a new day, and I do have an interest in getting along with the folks here, I'll give you a full explanation. Never, in all of the years I've been out here have I ever run into someone that was 100% a-ok with running down a family member who isn't dead, but is dying. And it isn't your grandmother, it's your father. And you have spent the last four years of your life watching your measure of a man slowly deteriorate from the smartest and most capable person you knew- into a husk that can't even talk, because he's also got PPA. You deal with it, but there's this piece of shit who basically at every turn mocks the dying man, and also consistently tells you that you also have Alzheimer's and a bunch of other ultra-unacceptable-shit. And you put up with that for YEARS. I never went after anyone in such a way. Never. That's over the line. While I don't decide where the line is, it's been pretty commonly accepted among this group that attacking people's family members is crossing the line. I would mock people. I was certainly a dickhead for many years. But I never crossed any lines regarding family. That's all Toft did. Every day. For years. Reality here is that Toft was operating when there were zero mods in the mix. If I said the things he said back when we still had moderators, there's absolutely no question that I'd have been banned for it. So we were left on our own. I put the clown on ignore for more than a year. First day I took him off, I see that the fucktard is STILL talking about my father and me, despite not hearing from me for more than a year. That was quite frustrating. It was about that time that I resolved that this piece of shit was going to pay for the annoyance and disrespect he cast onto me and my family. I think one reason we've said that going after family is crossing a line is because something changes in a man when he's defending his family. Unless you saw every exchange between us, I'm sure this probably seems like going overboard. But to me, it feels like justice. I wouldn't do this to any of the regulars that I know as actual people and not just as faceless assholes looking to cause harm to anyone they can. That's what Toft was. Besides, we have mods here who can take out the trash. There's no need for me to ever have to take matters into my own hands again, and I can promise that I won't because I know Bobo and LA and Chopper are appropriate defenders of this space. In a place with no law, no rules, one is left to defend and take care of themselves. When you can't call the authorities to come remove a problem, because there are no authorities, the world becomes a place where you either get shit on, or do the shitting. I spent three years getting shit on in the most unacceptable way. I'd say I paid my karmic price for whatever verbal monkey shines I unleashed on people over the years during that time. I only stuck around because I liked enough people there that the good outweighed the bad. I swore to Toft that if I ever got the chance to completely fuck his life up, I'd take it. He laughed at me when I said that and then made another Alzheimer's comment. The opportunity presented itself yesterday. I took it. I feel completely ok about it. If I had an employee that I was paying to work and they were spending the whole day online transmitting offensive messages from one of my machines, I'd want to know too. Toft learned a valuable lesson. Don't go looking for snakes, you might find them. Don't act like you've got nothing to lose, when you have something to lose. Maybe other guys would have just let it slide, and maybe they'd be fine with it. I'm not one of those guys. Never was, never will be. And I would never in ten billion years cost any of you anything in the real world. In fact, if some of you ever needed help, I'd give it to you. You don't have to believe me, of course. But the guy who asked me for assistance yesterday got it, and I hope he's out spending that money right now. I'm taking the approach that I'm going to be nice to the people who are nice to me over here. I'm even going to stop yammering at Jonas provided he cuts the shit as well. I'm not interested in flame wars or anything of the sort. I come here to laugh. I'd just assume we keep things light and easy, as it makes this place better for everyone. However- Anyone who took Karate as a kid knows that the hand over the fist means that you keep your fists covered until they need to come out. I can still be a vicious asshole. I'd just rather not be. If people are cool to me, I'll be cool to them. If people are assholes who unrelentingly come after me for years and I'm left to solve the problem on my own, I tend to go big. This isn't a new development. But I think that's all I've got to say about it, and so hopefully this stupid thread can drop to obscurity now. Thanks for the well thought out response. You make some good points, although we'll just agree to disagree on your methods. It's your family, and obviously your call. Here's hoping everything works out with your father as well as anyone can hope in such a situation.

Hey Tony
Any chance you tell us what really happened with this Toft thing?
It's like whatever you did scared this guy shitless to never come back. If it was someone's alt account and you promised not to expose them, it's cool.

I assumed the latter, that Tony figured out who Tuft's alt was, and probably promised to keep it close to the vest as long as that person stopped using the account. Then Tony gets to look like he got this guy fired.
