Oh, and as for "playing me like a fiddle", firstly, if you are aware

What do you suggest? Seriously. If it's ranting on and on like you're doing,
no thanks. It's just a waste of time and energies, and makes the situation
worse. If it's gathering up the clubs, pitchforks, and torches and marching
to Chambana, we'd probably just end up in a long line anyway. ;-)

Another serious question: Why can't you just ignore him? No one is making
you read these posts.

You just don´t get it do you? It also seems that you and others haven
´t the slightest idea of the problems this has caused me.

I tried ignoring him, it simply doesn´t work. I really don´t know what
you think, or believe, or imagine you know. But this crap has caused a
lot of people to e-mail me, people on other boards where I was a long
time and highly respected member have asked me what is going on and
why.

Have you ever heard the expression "there´s no smoke without fire", or
"Give a dog a bad name"?

You seem to think that these antics are restricted to your own little
world here on ROFF, the fact that they are transmitted to ever more
and more places around the world as syndications, or because some
board owner steals the content and feeds it, seems to entirely escape
your notice.

Several members of this group also posted provocative and insulting
post about me on other boards. They were banned and their posts
deleted, but the damage was done.

It may not be of any concern at all to you what people write about
you, simply because it has no effect on you. What Fortenberry and
these other ****s write about me does have an effect.

The more popular my website became, and it doesn´t really make much
difference to me what you believe, but my site was up to well over
100,000 hits per month,

Pure bull****. Through July, your site doesn't even get 0.1% of the
hits of all bplaced.net traffic, which means that if your claim were
true, bplaced.net would be getting over 100 million hits a month ( for
some perspective, there are about 65 million Google searches - that's
_searches_ not individual users - a day, eBay gets about 50 million a
month, craigslist.org about 20 million a month). And of all bplaced.net
traffic, 70.8% is from Germany or Austria (64.5% from Germany, 6.3% from
Austria), 3.7% is from the US, 3% is from Turkey, 1.8% is from
Switzerland, and all other countries are 1% or less. And the most
important number of all: 10,253. "What's that?" one might ask. The
number of unique visitors to bplaced.net...


R

the more people I got asking questions about
the rubbish on ROFF, and some backlash from other boards.

Whether you think I am a pompous prig, or above myself, or know too
much about fly-fishing, or whatever the hell else you think, how
should I know? The campaign these *******s started and continued has
severely affected my reputation in the international angling
community, where I was a respected figure.

It seems there are actually a few people who now believe I am a queer
and hang around railway stations. This is purely a result of the
constantly repeated propaganda here.

You asked me what I suggest? I have no idea what to suggest, if I had
I would have suggested it long ago..

As it is, I have ceased all contributions to other boards anywhere, I
have deleted my website, ( which is also causing my mailboxes to fill
up again), because that is the only way I can see forward.

For many years I have spent a great deal of time trying to help
others, in fly-fishing and in other areas, and I was highly respected
and liked by all I came into contact with. Even on ROFF for quite a
long time. These *******s here have torpedoed that, quite
purposefully.

Do you imagine they don´t know what they are doing, or are somehow
excused because they are stupid or unprincipled?

I am perfectly well aware that my posts here are not doing anybody any
good at all, but at least some people will be reading them and not
making the mistake of trusting you snakes, or imagining that you might
be friends.

There is no way to undo the damage you people have done to me. I have
simply capitulated now, and I don´t post anywhere at all any more, and
I have deleted my site and my forum and also ceased a number of other
projects.

I am not stupid, and I know there is not much I can do about it all.
But what little I can do, I will, and if that involves spending a
great deal of time making sure everybody knows what you are and what
you are capable of, then so be it.

My website has only been on bplaced since the beginning of July.
Before that it was hosted free at the FFT forums, the largest angling
forums on the web, as a service to anglers.

The owner of those forums kindly provided the space free of charge.
Unfortunately, it proved extremely difficult to manage the site using
transatlantic FTP communications.

I doubt he will give you usage statistics, as they are none of your
business.

Hope this helps

He doesn't need to - I have them (and they are a real corker...):

They average under 10,000 uniques a month (7-07 through 7-08) and guess
what? They were on a steady decline from a peak of 11,000 down to about
4,000 until...wait for it...the beginning of July, when traffic picked
up a tad over 50%...(hee hee hee)...
