I should talk to Phade about explicitely saying that since Hatter thinks otherwise in his delusional mind. He keeps telling me that I'm putting words in Phade's mouth. I'd love to see Phade tell him off, but you're right, he's gotten tired of it.

The Mad Hatter, aka Matthew Moulton has a pretty dreadful reputation. His main hunting grounds were on usenet where he'd become such a pest that people had looked up his personal information and sent him threats of all kinds.

When he was first causing trouble on the org, some of the more dilligent members of the forum delved a little into his past.

this should give you a clue as to the kind of reputation he had.

It appears that he enters a community, is all "peace and love, happy camper, aren't communities the best!" and then someone points out that something he said was incorrect. At that moment his head explodes and he goes into flame and mockery mode and never ever shuts up provided there is still someone there to argue with him.

After his first banning he made numerous duplicate accounts which were banned as soon as they were created. He then used proxy servers to hide his ip address to make his accounts less detectable - but of course hates not being able to tell anyone about his wonderful l33t skills and blows his own cover.

This went on for a fairly long while. He promised to bring the org down to its knees blah blah blah and then gave up.

He returned a month or so ago but didnt seem to be causing any trouble. Of course that was until someone said he was wrong and... well, as you've seen in numerous threads.

Hey, cupcake, sorry to break it to you, but you can't even begin to comprehend what I think. ^_^

Yeah, right. He just realised that I contribute more than you. ^_^

Yeah, well, I was responsible for the movement of the entire Lego community from Usenet, I think I can handle being 'banned' from this flyswat forum. Not that Phade'd do it. I know him better than he knows himself probably, from my studies of pyschology.

Anyway,

I say no... I enjoy fighting with Hatter.

*shrugs*

The only reason he causes so much hubub is because you people do exactly what he wants... Mainly fight back instead of ignoring or mocking him. This does nothing but divert attention to him, something that, no matter how many times he denies it, he absolutely loves.

Well you're 100% about the attention-whoring and I've *tried* to ignore him in *most* threads, but in that particular thread, he's going after people like Phade and my own friends and thus I felt it necessary (or rather I'm weak :P). Also claiming some of the (ridiculous) things he was claiming well..that required a rebuttal.

It's fun to make him look like a moron just using buzzwords for technology that doesn't exist and also calling him on it when he bullshits (see a single link or "evidence" from him? Ever?).

But again, you're right and for the most part I successfully ignore him. At the same time, an outright banning takes care of everything :-P

Well... Now Jbone has given him his own thread... If you guys really want to beat Hatter, stop posting in here. :wink:

:(

Damn under proxies eh? That's pretty lame, but it works :?

Did he *really* come back that many times?

I mean it seems a bit excessive for one little site. Especially with his more important duties. Then again, your link provides ample reasons as to why I guess.

Thanks for the info. I guess it just confirms what all of us thought.
