There's nothing wrong with feeding a troll ... as long as you remember to poison the food. (BG)

Kyle,

You haven't been around long enuf to recognize a troll. This is a news scoop!

-- Charli (claypool@belatlantic.net), February 01, 2000.


So? If you go on the Net here, here , or even here, you can read more stuff about CPR's past. But so what? It's news that he knew about Y2K several years ago, or what?

>From : Charles Reuben Date : October 06, 1998

Public Technology, Inc., the National League of Cities, the National Association of Counties, and the International City/County Management Association have launched the 'Y2K and You' Campaign to make local appointed and elected officials aware of the impact of the Year 2000 problem. As part of this campaign, a "tool kit" will be developed that will provide local governments with a comprehensive package of resource materials on the Year 2000. (Future updates regarding the campaign will be posted on this page.)

Charli, this isn't news. Everyone knows that CPR used to be a doomer. Sorry to let the wind out of your sails.

-- (no@big.news), February 01, 2000.

It's big news to me, ETTA, that he (((of ALL people)))) was webmaster of a Y2K PREP SITE! I haven't seen any reference to THAT in his debonker rantings and doomer put-downs.

-- Charli (claypool@belatlantic.net), February 01, 2000.

Probably the most comprehensive thing CPR wrote can be found at t his site

But what is the big deal? I thought you were going to show us CPR in some porn or dope deals or something...

-- Etta James (ej@umkc.edu), February 01, 2000.


delete then and sorry for posting the ?obvious?

Often when someone is in a frenzy on one side of a subject, whether it be drinking, smoking, or gambling, when they see the error of their ways, they become rabid dogs (as appear to have happened in this case) trying to save all others from "sinning" the way they did. It is the way of the world.

It is news to me, Charli, so thanks for posting it. He'll find something else to obsess over soon.

1. I **NEVER** took a dime for any of my volunteer efforts in Y2k and that was 100% of my involvement. I never had a Y2k business of any kind. In addition, I have never solicited nor taken any referrals for any business brokerage deal. After 1997, I removed business IDs from my sigs. unless essential.

2. A chronology of my past thoughts on Y2k are readily available to anyone that looks at: http://www.russkelly.com/experts.html

3. There really is nothing to hide. Everything I ever stated about myself was fact. Unlike others, I have no Fear about the Day of Judgement. I will admit to being flattered that someone thought that at my age, I might be in a porn flick (NOT that I would do such a thing).

4. You might wish to ask yourselves what you plan to do after 3/1/2000 when the End of the World doesn't happen ...........AGAIN.

not looking...sysops he is here....do something...do something.....don't let the virus spread.

CPR:

There really is nothing to hide.

Then why don't you want to let your minister know the hatred you've been spewing? See this thread on "Debunkers" for a discussion of this point. Everything I ever stated about myself was fact.

Even if that were true, too bad you don't apply the same standard to everything you stated about other people, eh?

-- Steve Heller (stheller@koyote.com), February 01, 2000.



Charli,

Thanks for your post. I actually engaged him over at Debunkie a couple of weeks ago. What an eye opener THAT was! We probably traded 4 or 5 responses to each other, me attempting to get him to focus on the specifics of what he had said to and about me, and him just calling me names and shouting me down. He has never responded to my last post and I haven't been back there since.

No wonder he is so vitriolic! I didn't know he was a reformed doomer. I myself am a recovering alcoholic (12 years if I get through today ;-), and I remember being mighty obnoxious about it when I first discovered sobriety. We all live and learn (hopefully!)

Kyle, will you stop playing Sgt. Schwartz if I give you some apple strudel?

note: this is a Hogan's Heroes reference, not a Ron reference

-- Etta James (ej@umkc.edu), February 01, 2000.


Etta,

To keep the record historically accurate, it's Sgt. SCHULTZ, not Schwartz.

Jimmy

-- Jimmy Splinters (inthe@dark.com), February 01, 2000.


Good grief, Jimmy, you're right. (She shakes her head, ashamedly). Shows you how often I watch Hogan's Heroes. Thanks.

-- Etta James (ej@kcmu.edu), February 01, 2000.

I didn't know he was a reformed doomer. I myself am a recovering alcoholic (12 years if I get through today ;-), and I remember being mighty obnoxious about it when I first discovered sobriety. We all live and learn (hopefully!)

Interesting comparison.

-- (hmm@hmm.hmm), February 01, 2000.


UHHHH...I hate to tell you this, but I believe every debunker was at one time scared shitless about Y2K-real doomers all, it was this that drove me personally to attempt to prevent and ease the fears of others by providing them with the truth about areas of concern.

I did not appreciate having to live with that fear for the few weeks I lived it, and really did not appreciate those who had caused it.

It was putting my intellegence ahead of my emotions that allowed me to see the truth about what would fail and what would not. The fear was from the unknown, I felt that if others had enough information, they could overcome their fear through knowledge. And NO NO NO..I never said "don't prepare", none of us did. We believe in it, Any hostility is towards those who caused and fed the fear, for whatever reason.

There are many who had access to a report, provided early in 1999, that showed that utilities would not be impacted by Y2K, yet was it ever posted to this forum? No. Ask yourselves why......

-- Cherri (sams@brigadoon.com), February 01, 2000.


LOL Etta!

Since I'm a technical neophite, this is the only chance I have to contribute useful information. Looks like all those couch-potato years will pay off after all!

This is not just your average ordinary thread.

This one should be framed.
