The Nature Boy: Works at Magazine Forum?

“I received the following PM over on the other side:

"You have been warned by a staff member. Your warning level has been increased, and this will be viewable to all members. Once you have reached the maximum warning level, your posting permissions will be revoked.
You have been warned from the following post: http://www.backpacker.com/cgi-bin....1511537
"On some occasions, Bp2go is one of the people making the attacks, another impeachment of his posted position."
Congrats. You're in the box club with this outright lie"


When I hit the reply button, the name The Nature Boy appeared in the box to where it would go. It has long been rumored that at least one poster over there works for AIM.



Yet again, I got still another PM today which said,

"You have been warned by a staff member. Your warning level has been increased, and this will be viewable to all members. Once you have reached the maximum warning level, your posting permissions will be revoked.[br]You have been warned from the following post: http://www.backpacker.com/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=116108449;t=9991117291#entry9991515346
"Consider that Bp2go started an attack thread on BobbyC once under the guise that he wanted BobbyC to see how people felt about him."
More total crap. Do you plane to continue this?"



Again, when I hit reply, the name that appeared in the box was The Nature Boy. Considering how "plan" was misspelled as "plane", considering how my posted allegation that the Nature Boy sent the first email was not denied, considering how I have never sent a PM to The Nature Boy, I now believe these persistent rumors that at least one poster on the other side works for AIM at Backpacker Magazine is true.


It is a shame that Bp2go posts his positions, but has a meltdown when someone uses his prior posts to impeach him. He forgets that he has publicly attacked posters over the years calling them names like untruthful or "annoying".”

“What, is that site like backpacker kindergarden?”

“No, he never got that hat -----

How about some Strawberries?”

“Still jealous of Pro's accomplishments, t*lt?”

“Alas, the TT of old is no more. Cretins trying to run people off the board by following them from thread to thread is now the norm rather than the exception.

Not to mention the asshats who forget what they posted the previous day and then end up making themselves look like tools.”

“Why would we actually care what's on the other side? Who is nature boy anyway?

“Your Honor I submit Exhibit B.”

“Now is this one funny? Again you're going to need to give some sort of clue?”

“I hate forums where the moderators get involved in the board culture.

They're almost as bad as those that prosecutor posts to.”

Think poor little t*ltypoo has the mental capacity to see his statement's truth about his stalking of pros, NC?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL”

“Nature Boy is one of the most disrespectful people over there. And bp2go; one of the biggest hypocrites. I say we have an old fashioned board war and invade.”

“Yo Tilt, you are being followed................................by cretins.”

“Why would we actually care what's on the other side? Who is nature boy anyway? - Y2

This. The whole thing is childish, but posting it here like people would care is infantile.

Prosecutor, grow up.”

“Oh come on, Mutt. It's entertaining, and since when has TT NOT been infantile?
MarkO posts here.”

“Oh crap, one is following me now!”

“You know what I like about Bp2go? He's a real person and is allowed to be a real person. Prolly a lot more objective than I would be in his position.

Who's running this site anyway?”

“No one.”

“this is a co-op”

“Oh yeah? Wool, "Your warning level has been increased, and this will be viewable to all members. Once you have reached the maximum warning level, your posting permissions will be revoked."

So goofy...”

“If this is Kindergarten do we get a nap?”

“WOMAN: Who are the Britons?
ARTHUR: Well, we all are. we're all Britons and I am your king.
WOMAN: I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.
DENNIS: You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship.
A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--
WOMAN: Oh there you go, bringing class into it again.
DENNIS: That's what it's all about if only people would--
ARTHUR: Please, please good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?
WOMAN: No one live there.
ARTHUR: Then who is your lord?
WOMAN: We don't have a lord.
ARTHUR: What?
DENNIS: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
ARTHUR: Yes.
DENNIS: But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting.
ARTHUR: Yes, I see.
DENNIS: By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,--
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: --but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more--
ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
WOMAN: Order, eh -- who does he think he is?
ARTHUR: I am your king!
WOMAN: Well, I didn't vote for you.
ARTHUR: You don't vote for kings.
WOMAN: Well, 'ow did you become king then?
ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake,
[angels sing]
her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur.
[singing stops]
That is why I am your king!
DENNIS: Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went around sayin' I was an empereror just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!
ARTHUR: Shut up! Will you shut up!
DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!
ARTHUR: Bloody peasant!
DENNIS: Oh, what a give away. Did you here that, did you here that, eh? That's what I'm on about -- did you see him repressing me, you saw it didn't you?”

“wow. thats genius. did you write that yourself?”

“you/you're”

“Why should anyone here give a rip?

And Stovie, your schtick is getting really old.”

“Post another picture of squirrel nuts, kleetn.”

“Snappy comeback Stovie!”

“LOL @ Kleetn - owned.”

“

The squirrel has been upstaged by the picture Nigal snapped of you.”

“that picture is even older then the squirrel with the nuts pic. And still funny”

“Toejam says about Bp2go, "Prolly a lot more objective than I would be in his position."

It is quite easy to be objective and impartial in administering a body of rules, whether it is something simple like a website forum, or complicated like a criminal trial. All one has to do is act consistently in interpreting and administering the rules. Any lurker on the other site can see that is not being done. There is one set of rules for people he agrees with, and another set of rules for people he disagrees with.

It goes beyond a double standard. Bp2go has deleted posts for what he called "obvious falsehoods". For example he deleted posts that Obama still smokes, and that his senior political adviser Valerie Jarrett was born in Iran (both incontestable true facts).

Having Bp2go be a moderator is like having a referee playing for the other side too.”

“BP2go reminds me of Dean Wormer from Animal House with his nasty little e mails.



"Alright, you're being contacted because you said something that hurt someone's feelings. Five more times and something's going to happen. You're on Super-Secret-Double Probation!"”

“zero . zero”

“Prosecutor is a drama queen.”

“So how is bp2go's actions any different from elise's?”

“Jeezus. Some of you still believe there was an Elise?
”

“Good Lord sounds like a hyper cocker spaniel with a dozen tennis balls....”

“Today, Bp2go/ The Nature Boy deleted a post with the following explanation:

"If you would have offered your own opinion with the link(s) you feel we all needed to go elsewhere to read, your message would NOT have been deleted."

The double standard continues. Bp2go has two set of interpretations of vague rules. If he likes the post, it stays. If he does not like the post, it goes. And he justifies his actions with a nonsense explanation.”

“Why do you continue to use that site if he bothers you so?? (I assume its backpacker.com)”

“Sad, pitiful, attention seeking old man.”

““Why do you continue to use that site if he bothers you so?"

The bad should not be able to drive out the good at any site.”

“What about the ugly?”

“Your attempts to cause discord are futile Pros. No matter what you do or say the hard work down at Rodale will go on as it always has.

”

“It is about good versus evil, Kleetn you devil.”

“prosecutors will be violated”
