No. Burnette was a legitimate military biochemist whose team made some early breakthroughs in DNA analysis, and an offensive stuck-up git. Because he was such a dope most others chose to disbelieve his boasts, especially when he was easily trolled and resort to fuming anger. rjfme was an expert in lots of things. His expertise in human sexuality was legendary, or more accurately laughable. My ding dong battles with him were about climate change and science in general. Although he conned several people about his scientific knowledge he was barely literate in science, but a superb writer and debater. I thought Burnette was caught out as being a fake. I knew him well early on. He was a pompous blowhard but knew his stuff. Long before covid we both would battle antivaxxers. Later it wouldnt surprise me if a fake took over when burnie was doxxed and left.

Act_1 or Actwon had a list of most IMDB usernames (thousands of them), but his website seems to have disappeared. He still might be active on IMDB. I don't know it IMDB has a member message function. www.imdb.com/user/ur0706096/Others have tried to find him and his website for his list. I think he decided to kill the users list after the boards went down. It was useful for getting user’s names right and he’d sometimes put amusing stuff in there but I suppose all good things have to end eventually. I used his site to look up Metropolis’ various user names and accounts after he was arrested on terrorism charges a few years back and discovered that he was currently posting on Film General as Madotsuki the Dreamer. I remember madotsuki.

I remember madotsuki. An old Soapbox user was “friends” with him on FaceBook and saw him pop up in the news. Come to think of it I only posted the link to his old accounts and someone else noticed that one of them had become Madotsuki.

The man, the myth, the legend! Never knew him but I've heard so much about him. adman Before Ben, Drew was the main troll and adversary. He was Stammaman's buddy.
I wouldn't call him a legend, more of a miserable fuck.
Drew signed up on v2 as "Mr Gay" and Carter in his wisdom immediately banned him. I talk shit about Carter, but keeping Drew off these spinoff forums did us all a favor. Crypto, he would have hated you. OT/ Are you Gameboy? If so Jill has been pining after you on V2. She wants you back now they have a new admin.

I have no clue why I'm banned over there. I got along decent with Carter and I broke no rules. Oh well.

You dont know Carter retired and there is a new admin with no rules? I was banned from there too, for arguing with Carter. There are more posters there and their threads are generally less aggressive than here, and a couple of people asked after you.

Well, I had one short ban when I got drunk and called Carter an asshole. But I apologized and he lifted it. So anyway, I watched everyone else getting banned, but I never had a problem. I think maybe because I was banned recently, that stuck in Carter's head, so he didn't lift it.
It seems he gave the new Admin a list of permabans - I Gameboy, adman, bartlesby, Patrick, Geewizzz, WarrenPeace ... there are several others. The new Admin, if it is Zoe, I never had a problem with her. So perhaps Carter made her swear to stick to his ban list.
It is rather silly. I argue strongly for what I believe, but I never hit below the built. I don't get personal. I stick to issues. It makes no sense to me.

Weird. I never hid my minor dislike of Carter, and sniped at him at every opportunity. One day he just got sick of me but I got straight back in when the bans were lifted. I even gave him a serve for the ban when porkpie died because I couldn't do a remembrance with all his old friends on V2 at the time.

Damn, this is why I've tried to remain as anonymous as possible about my real life.
With Stammaman I was one of his top two "enemies". I'm sure I would have been contacted IRL if he knew how to find me.
