Neither one.  I had asked them to close my account, and eventually they did.  My username was taken off of all posts. 

So per you.  Again, curious:  why? Must have felt pretty strongly about something to request your account closed.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

There is nothing sinister about it.  And the names have nothing to do with Ohio.  I just like names that sound like a first name and last name as one.  I have a whole bunch of them for future use.    

Does the law enforcement community have all your aliases on your rap sheet?

Said in jest. Sarcasm intended. Wink

I'm curious Euclid:


Why did your "Bucyrus" account disappear, only for you to return as "Euclid" a few weeks later?


Was that per your request, or per the staff here? 

Neither one.  I had asked them to close my account, and eventually they did.  My username was taken off of all posts. 

Then later, I decided to open a new account, so I thought I would need a new username.  As it turns out, the original account was not really closed.  All I had to do is sign in with the old password.  So maybe I could have reopened it with the old username.  But by that time, I had reopened with the new name.

There is nothing sinister about it.  And the names have nothing to do with Ohio.  I just like names that sound like a first name and last name as one.  I have a whole bunch of them for future use.    

   That begs the question- what other screen names are you using?

Both Euclid and Schlimm are the two individuals who are the most responsible for causing problems here in this forum. 

They were the two most vocal opponents of any moderator decisions made in this forum.

They are your two "troublemakers."

Oh Murray, you exaggerate.

Ask any former Moderator...after they finish groaning at the mention of your name(s).

I think he should branch out and pick some of these from New Jersey instead.

Here I though he was advertising Heavy Equipment manufacturers.

How many threads would I have to start saying "You're mother wears army boots!" before it would start eliciting some negative feedback? 6 or 7?

I think I might reply something like "How did you find out? We try to keep it a secret" the first time, but after a few repeats I'd just ignore it, consistent with what I said earlier about how to treat trolls.

I find it very interesting to see the truth finally come to light on the actions of Euclid.

Both Euclid and Schlimm are the two individuals who are the most responsible for causing problems here in this forum.

They were the two most vocal opponents of any moderator decisions made in this forum.

That's not fair. Just because I haven't been around much till relatively recently you're not letting me enter the same clique. Even if you don't consider me in the top 2, you could at least expand the field. Shouldn't there be gold, silver and bronze? What about Miss Discongeniality? I bet I could get some respectable number of votes.

I actually know what Jeff Wimberly said about the major kertuffle last fall concerning "the clique"  (his words) and that he was on to their "little game."  I believe six were placed on moderation, including Murray. Ed B's version of events does not seem to square with his actions at the time, which included his removing many of his many posts and telling all he was leaving the forum. 
Being called a troublemaker by Murray is an honor.

He didn't last as a moderator long.

Moderators here last as long as trainmasters do at most terminals.  Here one day, gone the next.   And yet here we still all are.  

We love ya, Schlimm.  Don't go away.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

My parents are buried in the Black Hills National  Cemetery.  Dad got a purple heart for being wounded in the Korean War.

     Some years back, I was doing some genealogy research on the BHNC website.  To my surprise, they had Mom listed as being a sergeant in the Marine Corp.!  Who knew?  So I guess if you told me my mother wears army boots, I'd have to protest on general principles.

Dear All, 

This thread looks like it has run its course. I am locking it because it has nothing to do with trains, railroads, or railroading.

Let's work to keep future threads civil and on-topic about railroading.

Best,

Steve S.
