Sometimes I like to be silly. :-) (Hey Ric where have you got to? It's silly
time again!)

I have just come back to FIBS after being away for over 6 months. I was driven
away by the harassment of one certain FIBS user named 'don'......I used to
come on to FIBS to play backgammon and meet with friends, however, after
one very bizzare incident where I was sexually harassed by this don character
(I later found out his name was Don Hanlen), I stopped coming to FIBS. I
found out later that don starting shouting me down on FIBS calling me a NIHI-lite
(I don't even know what that means), and also calling me a liar.

After reading many of the posts on rgb and being directed to read his webpage,
I decided I had to post here to warn other women of his two-faced ways.
What he acts like on shouts is NOTHING like he acts in private tells. Do
not trust anything this FIBS user says, because I can tell you he does nothing
but cover his lecherous ways. He made me very sick and disgusted with his
actions. Please be fore-warned.

Thank you,

miss_nurse

Maybe it would be better for everyone concerned if you all setup a newsgroup called

alt.fan-club.don-hanlen

so RGB'ers wouldn't burdened with a barrage of postings on this subject.

If this sounds insensitive, I'm really sorry, but how can someone sexually
harass you on FIBS? If the person was making sexually explicit comments towards
you, just block him out. What's the big deal? As far as being driven off of
FIBS, that was your choice to leave. He didn't make you leave. There are many
ways to block this type of behavior. I really don't pay attention to the chat
feature much anyway while playing, but that's me. It's not that I'm not
friendly or personable, I just get so engrossed in the games I don't pay
attention.

You probably should pay a little less attention to people like this and you
probably wouldn't be so bothered them. just a thought.

On the other hand why should anyone have to put up with it, yes I know they
can block him, or turn off the chat, but sometimes chatting and bantering is
half the fun. I'd rather fibs would live up to the stuff in its splash
screen

Well, the world isn't perfect and we all have to make room for those
unfortunates out there that insist on being jerks. The best way to deal with it
is to ignore it. I'd much rather discuss backgammon than the problems with
obnoxious users on FIBS. There is an awful lot to be learned from this group
and discussing jerks on FIBS only lowers the educational posts on this group.

Jeff

I was on FIBS the night don pulled that garbage with you. Of course, he
initially denied it, but after a while, finally fessed up and admitted to
"bad judgment."

Course after you left he accused you of conspiring with me to entrap him.
Apparently the terrorist bomb that killed his wife left him brain-damaged
and completely unable to deal with women as fellow human beings.

Nice to encounter you again, sorry it wasn't under better circumstances.
Unfortunately, my guess is that don will respond to this in his usual,
deranged way, calling you a liar, Nazi, racist, etc.

Been immersing myself in the ancient history of Mesopotamian culture and
silly walks in preparation for my next piece at GammonVillage on the history
of backgammon, JP.

And, of course, following the weirdnesses occurring here at rgb. I'm trying
to develop a rigorous mathematical analysis that will tell me whether some
of this stuff is over the top or under the bottom.

Valium for all! Rah Rah R... oh, to hell with it... I gotta go find a virgin
to sacrifice at GOL. Hey, maybe Crane can find one!

Guess the above reply to your post explains the "nihilite"..Don saying you were
ganging with nihilist.

Speaking of racism, there's a group of people you don't want to meet in
a dark alley, those damn Mesopotamians. We don't need none of their kind
in here.

Actually the original Mesopotamians are virtually extinct, except for a tiny
isolated pocket here and there, and they are hardly a threat as they are
weak and undernourished and glow in the dark, which tends to make them lousy
dark alley muggers. Hmmmm, perhaps they could shed some light on the darker
corners of rgb.
