You are speaking to nymshifter Flatfish (AKA Moshe Goldfarb and a slew
of others), who also posted:

Thanks to those who said they would join the boycott with me:

Hopefully Hadron and Tim Smith can join in, but I understand if they don't.
The cola nutjobs have labeled us "trolls" and out of place and off-topic
for years. Now their pretend advocacy group will melt down from sheer
boredom.
See you gentlemen again mid-December. Enjoy your time away!

Shut up, YSOB
I'm not pretending, but am real computer professional, I have an
identity of which really am proud of.
Who the hell are you? What is your identity?
I'm sure that this Roger Blake is a cowardly, stupid and asshole hiding
behind fake ID and seems to be real son of a bitch ;)

Roger Blake is referring to the "nymshifter Flatfish (AKA Moshe Goldfarb
and a slew of others)" who posted in this thread as "Magnus Boyle".
He isn't referring to Balwinder S Dheeman :)
You obviously have a real identity and a decent web page, but
unfortunately, this thread is crossposted all over the place, probably by
the troll "Magnus Boyle".
Posters should watch out for crossposted topics (usually the sign of a
troll), especially to COLA and trim them all, so as to post only to their
news group.
