Did you even read the post, Joshu? Yes. I specifically stated that it might BE an Imm who posted it (I don't know, truthfully). And then I said "so what?" I'll tell you so what. The original poster, let's call him "Douglas", didn't post because he was curious why people still post on the forum, but as an entry into the continual debate about "rampant Immortal cheating and conspiracies", and for him to hide behind an alias doesn't help his credibility in this discussion. Not one bit. As a friend told me in private communication, "posting anonymous flames directed at players as a senior immortal and then lying about it is just a sign of questionable character". The Arcane decided to dodge the issue (and it would seem you are dodging it too...you're reading the thread, but have no good answer for the poster...another politician?) You'll excuse me if I didn't respond the original poster, though I read it. I do try to keep my Zepachu-ishness in check. I don't respond to EVERY single thread I read. Especially obvious trolls. As for "my word" not meaning much to you, what exactly in my post are you doubting? I don't make any claims in there at all, I state two opinions: 1. I lost respect for The Arcane due to his dodging the issue. No doubt. He does seem to have been correct in this instance. I can tell you that in my eyes your credibility and Guerric's has dropped, from this thread. Not Arcane's Well that's your opinion I suppose. Seeing two imms come out in his defense, and nobody else doesn't seal the deal for me. But I could be wrong.
2. I don't believe the original poster was Sebeok, and see The Arcane's "proof" of it as being a bunch of crap.
