Probably, you were never involved.
Basically, after I brought people in here from btinterent.support
(when people got sick of being banned, posts cancelled, etc.)
unbeknown to me some people got a bit uneasy with it being 'my group'.
This was a ridiculous notion and I was unaware that a hidden agenda
was brewing with jo and possibly that barmy bint who's name escapes
me. So while I was being flattered by the attentions of Mr Sands, jo
and his little army were busy moving to alt.scarecrow and planning the
demise of auld with x-posted attacks and general stick-poking in order
to fuel the existing flames in here.
jo used many identities (some I recognised were him and some I
didn't), in order to start flame wars and wind me up..He knew I had
some paranoia issues about my RL identity from another matter years
earlier with Steve Firth from uk.misc. jo was very clever with one ID,
where he was supposed to be a guy from the Isle of Wight who just
happened to trip and fall into auld and start a fight with me,
culminating in a real life threat to come to my home and beat me up.
It was all a ruse to discredit me and make jo the kingpin of his own
group (in which he was only ever a squatter) alt.scarecrow.
All the while I thought jo was a genuine person and a friend and
treated him as such, while he was actually a two-faced twat of the
lowest order. Why? IHNI but I found out during the Man from IOW
episode.
Purely because I was personally quite vulnerable at that time, I've
never forgotten it.
jo and Bill were just destructive forces and the proof is that jo also
turned me and Grant against each other, and everyone else against
Grant in scarecrow, for no good reason. The bint eventually realised
this and befriended Grant after literally years of unnecessary
hostility towards him
It is interesting that CB and I are still friends and still "chat"
most days on twitter and we are friends on fb. And of course you and I
still chat even though it can be months or even years in between. Also
Pottums and I once discussed a business opportunity, it didn't take
off but we were quite "normal" away from usenet.
jo never was, he maintained his usenet persona in emails and used to
delight in thinking he was sometimes 'telling me off' for matters
which were absolute nonsense. I could never quite understand it but
put it down to him being a bit of a fragile ex-smakhead junkie and an
alcoholic.. I don't know if he and Sands were ever in collusion but I
doubt it and think it more likely that jo used Bill as a tool to
finally kill off auld.
It is interesting that jo thought I had "issues" when he was clearly
very ill.
So although that by virtue of the fact you and I are still here, I
refer to auld being the survivor of the two groups, that remark is
actually a metaphor for the enduring friendships between myself and
the real, genuine people from all that time ago.
That'd be you, me, CB, DP, Dom and a few others.
Glad you arsked? lol :)

Paula.. That was it..
I trusted her and bought a mobile phone from her and the company she
worked for.. I trusted her with my cc and bank details and then, over
a year later I found a dupe account had been set up and I had been
paying for two mobile numbers through my bank.
I contacted her and she said 'oh sorry it was a traumatic time for me
and don't want to talk about it' !
Don't want to talk about it?? No I bet she didn't... And if I'd
been in my right fucking mind I'd have reported the stealing
fraudulent bitch to the police.
By the time I was in a position to begin legal action for recovery of
the stolen money the "company" had folded.
