I think I will have the last word, thanks. The only thing you've been right about so far John, is that I'm human, and human's have a habit of getting pissed off occasionally. I don't care how many holes you think you've found in my 'story', I've been telling the truth all along and I don't like it when people question that, particularly when you have almost no evidence except a bizarre coincidence. Thankfully, I realised last night that I think I am able to prove I'm telling the truth. Or at least I can prove I had an email exchange with someone a couple of months ago that wouldn't make much sense if I had the ability to block someone (I genuinely had no knowledge that it's a very simple thing to do using the .htaccess file). Earlier this year a guy called Darren joined the site and started emailing as many women as he could about a problem he was having with his penis. It was hard to tell from the actual message whether he had a real problem or whether he was just writing for kicks. Obviously he was writing for kicks but most didn't know that. I think Trinity was the first to alert me to what was going on, and I deleted his membership immediately. I think the first time he joined was in Janurary or February. Then he came back, and started sending the same message. And I deleted him again, and again, and again, and again. I've just checked the admin records and I deleted him 22 times in total over a period of about 4 months. If I'd known I could simply block him from using the site (without getting Jason to write loads of code) then believe me I would. One of the other people to alert me to Darrens emails was Cheryl. This was in April. Here was my reply to Cheryl on the 14th April: ---- Hi Cheryl Thanks for your message. Unfortunately Darren's a bit of a weirdo who seems to get his kicks from telling women he's got a problem with his penis. He's joined Holistic Local several times (probably more than 10 now) to send the same message. As soon as I see that he's joined I delete him, which is what I did this evening. And deleting him automatically deletes all his messages which is why they disappeared. I hope that clears things up for you. Sorry for the confusion and for being hassled by the guy. If you ever notice him join again, please notify me immediately. If he keeps doing this for much longer I might have to get the police involved. Warm regards Andy -- Yes I was actually considering getting the police involved. Would I have done that if I could simply have blocked the guy? No I don't think so. Use your brain now John. Believe me, I'm not interested in starting any wars. Just defending my integrity. I really have no fricking idea why you were able to log on not long after Neil posted the video. But I can assure you, it had nothing to do with you being blocked. As I've already said and proved, you're far from the only person experiencing serious connectivity issues. But like most conspiracy theorist's it seems like you want to keep on clinging to your beliefs, no matter how much evidence is presented to the contrary. Perhaps now John, you can understand how quickly people can jump to conclusions and believe things quite forcefully, when all they really have is a small amount of circumstantial evidence and bizarre coincidence.
