Prof. Len van der Walt comes semi-clean at DI

[ham]

Hope you all had a very Happy Christmas, and all the best of the New Year to you.

Happy holiday season everybody.

Yes, I realize that's not very poetic, and not very mathematical. It's not at all eloquent. But sometimes a big load of steaming crap is just a big load of steaming crap.

On another forum two slimebag 'super moderators' deleted 1500 (yes 1500 ) posts and threads that didn't suit them in a matter of hours. All the 'management' did was to take away their moderator status, so they left pissed off among the cheers of their supporters.
Another jackass lobbied to be appointed moderator to 'settle the score' with his e-foes (=anybody who stepped on his feet...and he got VERY BIG feet )...weeks later he was downgraded and has since dropped the 'attitude'.
Another scumbag (who claimed to be a 'robotics & nuclear engineer') literally stalked me for years around various sites, forging multiple aliases, having his strings pulled by used car salesmen from another site...
Well...one of his many (admitted) aliases pointed to a community college bum and -oh, poetic justice!- his pretty face is on proud display in a thread devoted to losers & misfits on the very site he had so valiantly championed...and it was one of the 'inner circle' guys who posted him...
Another site I joined upon request of its owner used to be the best and biggest in the niche, even got featured on TV and the owner co-hosted a TV program for a while.
When the owner had bigger fishes to fry, the site fell under the spell of a clique of 'super moderators' and their henchmen who found sexual innuendo and dirty jokes more appealing than the topic at hand, assassinating characters and so forth.
The membership started to disband.
When the owner came back & cleaned the house, his once sworn pals with whom he had attended 'site meetings' and drunk beer turned against him with some of the vilest exchanges ever: the membership disbanded completely...what was once a top niche site is now a dead relic.
The internet is a joke.
