    While I never said I believed him, I did defend his right to post when everyone was calling him a troll.



    So I'd like to take this time to humbly apologize to Spiffy...you were right....you were right.

    Man do I feel like a sucker

    Sure, he's a troll, but MaDToOl was a troll too and he was cool.



    Yes, I think it's lame to lie to fellow members, but it's certainly no reason to ban someone.

    I don't care who he is. Instead of arguing over the previous insider, why don't we hop over to the other G5 thread by the new insider and start a discussion going in there?

    I sometimes register another name to make a point (did so today with kormac75 to tell kormac77 up yours). It is not using another name thats stupid but using it to do stuff like Mastergating. But then again IMPOV he has every right to fill us with lies. Its up to our own judgement to believe it or not. And the best bet is that people like him is lying. Remember only workerbee have ever given us real info and noone is prepared to go his way in the future.

    Did *I* miss something? I don't remember anyone ever saying that he/she was already a user and registered another name.



    What if it was a lurker who finally decided to register and play.

    Okay. Groovy.



    Well, I know one thing. I've been reassured in my belief that I shouldn't take ANYTHING for certain where the Future Hardware forum is concerned. Now I don't care about this whole Mastergater thing anymore. On to other threads!

    The lesson that needs to be learned here is that you guys need to stop believing everything someone posts here. I mean I went to the AI chat yesterday and there were people arguing and defending this fool. Then someone, who knows who, gets on the chat with the name Dorsal and immediately everyone thinks it's the real Dorsal (if there is such a thing).



    The lesson to be learned is to take everything that anyone says here with a grain of salt. No one in their right mind who works for Apple would jeopardize their job and the company they work for to come here and dump loads of information to a bunch of people they do not know (except Worker Bee and I am sure that everyone at Apple learned from that).

    Yes, there is a little truth train in us all.



    Folks who *really* wanted to believe mr. mastergate:

    sobelizzard

    TCO

    discstickers

    JRC

    jwdawso

    myahmac

    stimuli

    qazII

    thegelding

    Willoughby

    jeromba



    Welcome to the AI boards.



    Folks who saw the truth train:

    NeoMac

    pscates (the ultimate skeptic )

    DanPCamera (gj)

    MacAgent

    corvette

    Masker (sherlock boy)

    apple.otaku

    Moogs (again and again and again)

    erbium (vehemently denouncing mg)

    phygen (holy sarcasm, batman!)

    Horned_Frog

    Macintosh (with a VENGEANCE)

    SpiffyGuyC

    Mac Guru



    That makes for 11 wannabelievers and 15 skeptics including myself. Everyone else sat on the fence or watched us childishly duke it out.



    Just remember the next time some DNA-violating ( ) peabody with poor spelling and netiquette comes a-trollin... you're either for or against the war on stupid rumors.



    I'm just glad my ass remains safe and non-eaten.

    I just went back to the old thread, and didn't you forget SYN? He was all about the wanting to believe.



    Nothing against you SYN, but you were all over asking MG for more, yearning -- ACHING to believe he was truthful.
  • Reply 58 of 109
    Mastergateing = Macintosh???



    I don't get it, though on a level it makes sense. I still think Mg is a long time member, he was smart in how he acted dumb and he did his research (to a point). If I'm right, I think justice will be done if his regular name is cancelled and he has to start with a new one, a newbie like me.... he he..

    Is it okay if we only give you moral support or is the minimum a small batalion?



    Sorry. I actually don´t care about far out rumours so why should I voice my opinion about them?

    Can I ask why, applenut? I've never done this sort of thing and I certainly haven't started now.



    :confused:



    I promise you it isn't me. I thought the guy was full of it from the moment I read his first post with all the G4 and G4 iMac prices/specs.



    I have always been pscates on these boards, except for a very brief period a year or so ago where I went by Eye126.



    But everyone here knows me as pscates. I don't even go into the chat room with anything other than "pscates".



    I'm in good standing here, I believe. Got lots of buddies and people here I like. I'm not one to go around causing trouble or stirring stuff up.



    As MacAgent said, it's "not (my) style".



    Why do you think it's me? Seriously? I've never engaged in this sort of thing.



    Moderators, make applenut quit accusing me and give him proof!
