hypocritical? no.

i thought falcon was just a young guy, tactless and with strong opinions. i saw a repeating pattern of helpful, rude, apologetic, helpful, rude, apologetic... i tried to calm him down in his threads, and i exchanged emails with him, trying to understand and help him.

irrespective of the merits or demerits of his argument, i thought if he could be warned, reasoned with, persuaded, that maybe he could stay as a useful forum member.

when cliff did ban him, i wondered if cliff had been hasty, so i went out to see for myself. the winamp thread was sufficient for me. it seems there's a long history, about 4 years as noted above, of falcon getting himself into trouble. apparently he's either an exceptionally slow learner, has uncontrolled emotional issues, or does it deliberately. my take is, it's deliberate. i think he was knowingly stirring the pot.

i am also interested in his reference to himself as "morpheus", and may look into that as well. he's up to something, has been for a long time, and i'm curious.

and as an aside, i'd like to thank johnnyk for quoting me on RFT. i'm famous now. woohoo.

edit: morpheus was falcon's other user name on winamp.
"some doof"
edit again. google is a wonderful thing. ive seen a couple of other forums where he's done the same thing, using multiple logins, implying he's things he's not, idle threats when called out. i'm surprised he's been using the same id on all these forums, it's almost as if he wants to get caught. it's a mystery. i wonder what motivates falcon.
