Stephen Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Dee AKA Mata hari I think this is the most traction a gimei blade has ever got, going for record? Wait you probably already have it. 1
Alex A Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Just to add, even online, folks like to know who they are talking to, dealing with. Dee, if your taking piss, you do yourself no favours, with future business. Being honest, i don't trust you. Something weird going on that not seen here for a while, all fake. 1 2
Stephen Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 OK I thought the picture was matahari I was wrong, when I did a Google image it's a Japanese actor. alphabet actor AI Overview The image is of Akihiro Miwa, a Japanese actor, singer, and author. Helpful information: Miwa was born in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1935. Miwa began his career as a cabaret singer in the 1950s. He is known for his flamboyant appearance and his advocacy for LGBT rights. Miwa has appeared in numerous films and television shows, including Princess Mononoke. He is still active in the entertainment industry today. I don't know does that explain anything
Alex A Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Cheers Stephen, whoever it is. All too weird for me lately. You know what they say about trusting your instincts. 1

Dee, if your taking piss, you do yourself no favours, with future business. Being honest, i don't trust you. Something weird going on that not seen here for a while, all fake. Curious, do you usually respond repeatedly and favorably towards those whom you do not trust? I fail to see the genesis for such ire towards another member. Last I checked, KungFooey, whomever that may be has done exactly what is normal and expected on an ONLINE forum. This somehow has generated a level of distrust, but why is that exactly? Is this member trying to solicit funds for a project? Is kungfooey trying to sell anything to anyone? Is there a representation of mastery of knowledge? Fact of the matter is this, so far as I can see, the only thing kungfooey is guilty of is the occasional provocative post or comment. There have been many like this in the past and likely no shortage in the future. You said, "folks like to know who they are talking to". This may be true, but they are NOT ENTITLED to know anything other than what is presented. Kungfooey may actually be a guy named Fred in his mother's basement, but the question remains, how does this matter? I dont have a clue as to the person behind kungfooeys keyboard because it DOESN'T matter, until such a time as it does. Should that day come, it is up to each of us to collect and examine information that allows for an informed decision and even then there is risk because THATS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. Shitting on people because your spidey senses are tingling only means something if your senses mean anything to anyone else, which is unlikely because you are not special. So how about you proceed as you have ALREADY and choose to participate with this member or not. Valueless posts about your "trust" are neither entertaining nor useful. 4 1 1
Alex A Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Forums are getting too weird for me these days. And actually, if it is a guy named “Fred” and calling himself “Dee” and going on about art with dicks, then it is dishonest. If you think thats ok, you can **** off too. 1

Was thinking about posting something similar myself, but don't know I would be able to put it any better. In general Dee's posts have been positive and contribute to the community. Could they be someone other then advertised? Sure. But as far things have gone I don't see any cause for the weird animosity. 2 1

I have to say, as far as forums getting weird, that might be one of the weirdest posts I've seen in a while! Art with dicks? That all seems a bit over the top.

If you don't know what the refers to then you're not up to date what's going on she's been contrary many of times you just don't know so as far as I'm concerned your opinion is not valid 1
Stephen Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 She him whatever was asked to show a picture of her hobby I ask because Brian outed the person because of IP so ask her to prove who she was and she sent me a picture of something she lifted off the internet so what am I supposed to think anymore do I even care no 1 1

That said, many members are contrary in posts, but the reaction seems somewhat singular. I also caveated that with "in general", indicating some posts may have been contrary. At any rate, as with many things to each their own. The reaction just seems somewhat singular and odd, often derailing otherwise productive threads. 2 1
Stephen Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Not just contrary but name calling, back biting, like I said you don't know so you don't know so you're and Hokey Pokey post really doesn't help you want to leave it lay leave it lay. 1
Stephen Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 If there's anything else needs to be added I would expect it from Dee and not anybody else.
George KN Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Sorry Stephen, but I am going to chip in here, because I think it is important other voices are heard on this topic. I agree with @Hokke and @Natichu. The internet (and wider world) is a rather different place than it was 20 years ago - does it even matter if someone uses a different name, gender, or profile picture? Suppose for a brief moment that Dee is indeed Dee, what on earth does this make us all look like? This thread seems to have strayed from the normally friendly and educational environment I really like about this forum (Not to say that fraudulent selling isn't a big problem - it is, but such scrutiny shouldn't apply to people just being regular members of this forum IMHO) 4 2

I don't know that I need to leave anything to lay. That said, you're entitled to your opinion and me being wrong wouldn't be the first time in any respect. So happy to simply say we disagree about the matter; I've more than said my piece. 1
Bugyotsuji Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Call me simple, but I take Dee at face value. I get a sense of a warm and intelligent person with a sincere desire and ability to study and learn. That is enough for me. As to the papering game, it's time-consuming, assuming you can even make the slot, but only expensive if you get a positive result. And it could well be that the answer was here in our NMB discussions all along. Or there could be no final confirmation at all, this time around. Roll the dice! (?) 2 1 1

KungFooey Posted February 24 Author Report Posted February 24 Gentlemen, Despite the much appreciated support I have received, both in private communications and on the last page of this thread, I am now heartily sick of what has become some kind of bizarre witch hunt (or 'warlock hunt' for those of you who like to claim I'm a man). As Hokke @Hokke so succinctly puts it, I have neither attempted to make any profit from this forum nor ever suggested I have superior knowledge which I do not possess. Yes, I've gotten angry occasionally but I have otherwise tried to be an active contributor and helped with observations or suggestions wherever I could. When I first joined here it was a real pleasure to interact with everyone but now I sign on always expecting to be denigrated or baited - so it's high time to call it quits. Lastly Stephen @Stephen, you only got really spiteful and nasty towards me after I asked you to stop sending me PMs - apparently "hell hath no fury like an old man scorned". Your incessant messages were starting to freak me out. (And, before you start spluttering 'it was all part of a cunning ruse to uncover your hidden identity' I took screenshots of all your PMs.) Goodbye to the many nice folks here and good riddance to all the rest. Adios, Dee 1 1 1

Brian Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Ok, enough of this. For the record, I asked no-one for any information about anyone. The idea that I "prompted" anyone to ask for info is just a flat out lie. This forum requires people to use a real first name, and we accept that people are who they say they are. Of course there are many posting under pseudonyms. Many with second accounts for various reasons, some of them valid, some for deception. The software tells me most of these duplicate accounts, and most I leave unless there is an issue. No...using a VPN won't fool the software, there are 4 methods it checks. Anyways, people are entitled to their opinions. But those that cause disruption here usually don't last long. Some we tolerate, some reach my limit and are removed. I've been more than tolerant with some insults I've been sent. This thread is a train wreck, and not worth continuing. So another one for the lock. If anyone does care...do I think "Dee" is who she says she is? Not a chance. Do I think "she's a she?" Nope. But I can live with that. Do I think "she" is in the USA? The software says no. Are there other accounts linked to this one...yip. In fact, the software says "she's" in Japan. Go figure. Take that as you wish. 3 7
