I have made the following complaint to the folks at TR. I see he has again sullied the waters here with his presence. I personally have had enough. It was bad enough, to put up with his silly, childish behavior, but now he is demeaning the person of one of valued members, and a staff member. Because of that I will here post the complaint I had sent to the TR. (normally I wouldn'd do that but I now see this individual is attempting to subvert new members in his little games. as in: [ https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=101&threadID=209711&messageID=2160477 ]) This must stop.
Hallo TR folks....

Thank-You. dawgit in Stuttgart, Germany.

The reference number for your question is '070128-000238'
The reference number for your question is '070128-000248'

Attacks such as this are uncalled for here. Even if any of this were to be factual (which I sincerly doubt) This is the improper forum.
IMHO -dawgit.....
any questions?

I think that all should stand up and say ENOUGH!

The oft times silly banter and jabs by the regular folks is all in good fun but what kev07 is doing is beyond ugly, it is just wrong.

by tig2

This is, of course, outrageous. I do not personally care for George's blogs but do not feel that he should be subjected to this crap. I think that all of us feel that way.

Rather than inundating the PTB with a rash of email on the subject, I am choosing to add my voice to yours here. I strongly feel that this person, Kev07, should be invited to see the error of his ways. I think that George was singled out because of his fervor for all things Microsoft and this yoda claims to have an Apple fixation.

Incidentally, his whole story reads rather similar to the Congressional Page thing here in the US a few months past. A bit of originality would have possibly given this ludicrous story some credibility.

Remember your blood pressure, Dawgit!

His behavior just doesn't make any sense unless he's 12 years old. That would make sense because 12 year olds often think that acting hateful is funny.

by jdclyde

and all trolls must be stepped on, hard.

I am surprised after his attacks on George, that he has an active account. It would be nice if someone would fix that.

Thanks for your attention to this matter, and thanks to dawgit for being a voice of reason the whole time he is organizing this complaint. He easily could and allowed himself to be dragged down to the trollers level, but didn't.

And then to have this twit insult Neils Mother?

by Member 25348569

I only have his word for it that it was insulting my mother. It was in a foreign language - I guess Irish Gaelic - and I really couldn't be bothered to translate it. given this guy's proven ability to post garbage, it could well have been a recipe for soda bread.

I DO hope he translated the Welsh, though. The only Welsh my father ever taught me was insults.

Neil :D

by dawgit

You made him proud, I'm sure. (but I haven't got a clue what it was you said there, it looked good though :D ) -d

edited, I'm doing that a lot today ?:| hummmm.

by sleepin'dawg

down his fathers leg when his parents tried the traditional Irish method of birth control. The Kev07s of this world blow all the arguments of the right to lifers all to hell; don't they???

BTW I tried to check out the company he claims to be with and while there are one or two with the name Renton in their name, there were none that were listed as being capable of producing any software; never mind a functioning OS.

So it appears Kev07 is not only a filthy little racist, he is an all around low down filthy lying little pervert or should that be a perverted little liar.

One interesting point he made was that he was unlikely to be extradited to the US for defamation. What the loud mouthed little jerk doesn't realize is that he doesn't have to be extradited for a defamation suit. That type of suit is a civil matter and is non- extraditable but a civil suit could and can be launched against him in Ireland. Add to that the fact that George has easy access to his IP address and right now the lying little jerk should start praying that George isn't vengeful or vindictive.

I've seen some fairly odiforous and foul creatures pass through TR from time to time but Kev07 ranks right up there with the worst of them.

From babysitting my toddler nieces and nephews I learned a valuable lesson. Children want attention and when they cannot get positive attention they will seek negative attention. Trolls are children.

To resolve this issue, we as a community should ignore the trolls. Don't give them the attention they are seeking. Even flaming them give them the attention they desire.

by av .

No matter what he says, no one should respond. He likes it when he gets attention.

Hes just not worth anyone's time.

For TR to give some of the more active forum members some moderator rights.

Between this Kev/Mr. Alexander Crawford Taworth thing and the influx of script kiddies wanting to hack anything from a piggie bank to hotmail, things are getting somewhat out of control

by tig2

It would be difficult to set up a moderator system. Not impossible, just difficult.

An invisible moderator? Possible.

I think that the inability to reach the PTB on the Geekend is making things more difficult. We are seeing everything in real time. The PTB is depending on our feedback to keep this kind of thing in control.

I am here on record- I support George Ou and know that he did nothing inappropriate where this person is concerned. I am behind him on this 100%.

I hate that I even had to make that statement in support of a good man. I may rip him in MS discussions but that doesn't mean that he would stoop so low.

The whole thing just makes me sick. Kev better keep his tail in Ireland. Harder to kick from the US.

Edit- Knew that I would get something wrong while angry. Note to self: Don't get angry. Yeah, right...

require a complete shift in the way that TR has always treated members.

We are treated as adults, and have proven to be self moderating because of it. By giving some people moderator controls then they destroy that.

Currently, when a TR staff member does remove or alter a discussion, unless they post about it there is no notice about what happened, so the invisible moderation is what we have, but TR may need to have a few staff members working over the weekends to be faster on responding to these issues.
[ which would be a better solution to try at first ]

I have been a moderator, of a very volatile subject forum and gallery, it's a lot of work. if TR [ CNET ] had a staff member working weekends to monitor the discussions it would settle the noise level on the weekends without having the complete change in paradigm in the way they treat us.

by jaqui

that while the content of his posts is offensive it isn't actually spam.

I myself don't agree with almost everything George writes, but he is willing to discuss differences of opinion on the subject(s) and doesn't deserve the post you are linking to.
I'm sure that some of the old timers could really rip the twerp apart in a flamewar if he deserved the attention, but I doubt that he is worth the energy it would take.

The best way to deal with people like him, do not reply to his posts at all. don't give him the satisfaction of creating any discussion.

by mjd420nova

I watched as this clown posted and checked the time, two minutes after post, and a minute later, ZAP Pretty quick I'd say. Weekends are overtime and we all need to rest. That would put a cork in it before it got out of control. I do not honor clowns, idiots, fools and flamers with any response. I know there will be those who will draw and quarter them and others who try to placate them. Some real interesting reading but if it gets wacko, it doesn't take long before it gets squelched. The spam button could come in handy, at least it would draw attention to a post. But over usage could lead to an overload of screeners and results in missing a few here and there.

by heml0ck

anytime I see something that is intentionally offensive, racist, etc... I flag it with the spam button... seems to work to draw attention to them from the PowersThatBe...

by nicknielsen

It doesn't matter if it's factual or not; isn't there an insult law in Ireland or the EU? Seems to me all TR needs to do to put kev07 out of our misery is shut him down on that basis...that is if this waste of space actually [u]is[/u] in Ireland and not trolling from his mama'a basement.

by charliespencer

Or at least that's where they claimed to be from.

I want our established Irish members to know I'm not lumping them in with these January 07 wannabees, and I do not consider their behavior to reflect that of other inhabitants of that lovely country.

by dmambo

I couldn't agree more. Seems this site needs to clean out several newly-registered losers.

BUT - and this is a big part of it - we need to do a better job of ignoring them. I'm sure they get off on the attention.

by jaqui

most scripts have an ignore user button, so you never see a post by them again.

It's easy to ignorethem with the button, but then there needs to be a user accessable un-ignore, just in case you hit the wrong person on ignore.
[ or you gotso disgusted with someone you didn't want to talk to them and ignored them, when you calmed down you decided you don't want them on ignore list ]

by charliespencer

I never thought my career would be anything anyone would want to emulate, but I seem to have become kev07's hero. Why else would he copy and paste my biography from my profile to his? Unless he's my old buddy graham6...

by charliespencer

" The best part of who or whatever that little bog trotter Kev07 is ran down his fathers leg ..."

We had a young soldier in my National Guard unit, nicknamed "Sponge" that we accused of having a similar origin. Unwanted by Dad, he was left on the sheets. Mom soaked him up with a foam square normally used to wipe the kitchen counter, and squeezed him in.

by jamesrl

...that this is all the work of one person.

Given the spelling mistakes and grammar are remarkably the same, I've suspected that Jamesatmaisonverre (glasshouse), Graham, Kev07 and I suspect even some of those they argued with who were newbies are in fact all the same person. Someone who is starved for attention and pretty pathetic.

Thats the theory anyway.

I would have kept very quiet except for the racist remarks. I've been taught that everyone has a responsibility to not let remarks like that stand even though they weren't directed at me or affect me personally.

Edited out typo.

by shellbot

ok, if you call some bogger form Cork who makes his money telling idiots like you how to spend thier money, then ya.

I can see how a knacker learing how to budget to buy both food and heroin might find him a bit of a hero.

Tip: If you buy his books & dvd's, he'll get richer and you'll get poorer. Alri?

by jdclyde

I think that was more a general comment, not an actual reply? Maybe she needs a spanking instead as a happy middle ground? :D

by charliespencer

I get the b!tch slaps and she gets the spanking? What's up with that?

Note: this is a reply to jdclyde and is not in response to any posting made earlier in this particular branch. You ain't gonna slap me on no technicality.

by w2ktechman

and still told him to go away in a post yesterday. Then I realized that Palmetto gets another hit

by dmambo

Rob, JD, Palmetto, Sandy and W2k, you are feeding the trolls. Will you ever learn? They love the attention.

by charliespencer

Where? When?

I confess to replying to one of what's-his-name's topics where it looked like he actually wanted to have a discussion. I'd like my trial postponed until he responds, since his intent isn't yet apparent.

by dmambo

You!

Don't get me started. I'm still mad at you for how you treated tootsy. She hasn't been back since. ( :^0 )

by jdclyde

So first, for the record, "I like girls". B-)

There, now that is all cleared up, we can address the topic at hand.

While I am sure your a nice enough chap and all, I can't bring myself to give you a spanking. Maybe a punch in the arm, but not a spanking. :D

by jdclyde

I did not talk TO the trolls, I talked ABOUT the trolls [i](for the most part)[/i].

Innocent! Innocent I say! No court in the land would convict! B-)

by w2ktechman

It has only happened once in the last week (that I am aware of). And I caught myself doing it too (after the fact).
