The internet wont forget....

[Petrus Vorster]

Wow. The internet can be a mean place.

Just shows you how anything you say online can still come and haunt you years later.
Someday, someone will find my stupid questions here and think "what a moron!"

I was looking up on Josè's work and Theo's forum and one link lead to another and another....

Ended up on some godforsaken website forum where poor Josè and late Bob Zale got all torn apart by a man called Mike T*****. Damn. I knew Bob was difficult, but this guy was at it like crazy.

That was back in 2009 and its still there, for everyone to read.

This site surely has some of the biggest gentlemen on the web. !
Thanks for being nice. I appreciate it.

Lol, nothing is private anymore in today's society. I deleted FaceBook going on almost 2 years now. Best decision I've made in a long time. Sadly, Google pretty much owns everything about me because I am so tied to their services like gmail, sheets, drive, etc.

You don't need to hide his name with T*****. Mike Trader was a fake name and my "crime" was asking him to comply with the rules of my forum and use his real name.

BTW I don't have an account in any of the social media sites. Like Paul, I'm also tied to Google because I need some of its servcies. My old email server closed because of lack of customers (most of them had migtrated to gmail).

I remember Mike Trader and the drama. I think Wayne Diamond also had a spat with Bob Zale about not using real name on forum. Not 100% sure about that though....

I didnt mean to upset Josè. Its just weird how long these things hangs around on the web.
Its so strange how I stumbled upon it, and how some random weird bloke goes rogue and still fights alone on some website.
So many years. Still!

I also have left all social media. Just have whatsapp to chat with the kids.

Thanks for the work you two put into these software.
Without you i would be working an abbacus.

I see it the same way.
Anyone who is on the move in social media today without an account is usually looked at strangely, at least by the younger generation.
Maybe it's because my generation still knew life before these platforms and doesn't need this kind of bubble to live.
Free from the addiction to "likes", trolls and whatever else is floating around.
Please do not misunderstand. I am not fundamentally against these platforms. But the influence on and knowledge about the users of these media is now so great that even C*A and so on look pale.
I simply see this critically.
Those who think they can't live without it should continue to undress there.
I prefer to meet and talk with real friends and be real on the road.

So, that was my word for Wednesday....
