Ooooo...forum rules:

"You may not use the Invelos forums to:

    * Impersonate a representative of Invelos, or make claims of "inside information" related to Invelos as a company, or Invelos products."

How many times have you done that, Skip? Don't lecture about rules unless you follow them.

And yes, it is pathetic, but every so often Skip needs to be called to account in regards to his treatment of people.

Who asked you.

Skip

You did Skip, by starting this thread. You made what should have been a private discussion public. Don't complain.

OK john you leave me no choice, this but one of several i have received.

Hi, Skip.

I saw your post in the forums for JohnD regarding one of his profiles.

I just had an unpleasant PM session with JohnD, regarding one of his profiles which I voted No to because he didn't name a source for his cast and crew data. He then sent me a PM saying that the source was "the disc itself", but that he didn't really have to name a source since there was no cast and crew in the existing profile, so he didn't really make any "corrections".

I PM'ed him back and said that of course he needs to name his source, even if the existing profile is blank. His attitude made me suspicious, so I decided to check the actual credits on the disc myself, and found out that his contribution was NOT as credited like he said in his PM, but instead was IMDB data. I therefore included in my PM that I did not appreciate him telling me he had used the disc as source when this was not the case, and told him that the user database relies on contributors being honest in their contribution notes and PMs, something he obviously is not.

He then replied saying that the cast and crew data was taken from the existing IVS profile, and that since it was accepted into the IVS database it should also be accepted into the Invelos database, even though the data was incorrect. He also said that my behaviour was rude and unacceptable, and that I was a coward hiding behind internet anonymity while insulting him (!). I replied that I don't consider myself rude for catching him in a lie, and told him to either withdraw the profile and keep it local, or accept my No vote and see if the profile was accepted despite my vote. I told him that if he had said in the first place that the source was the IVS database and not "the disc" then I of course wouldn't have claimed that he wasn't to be trusted. I also said that I wasn't interested in being insulted anymore by him, and that I wouldn't answer any more of his PMs. He then proceeded to block me from sending any more PMs to him.

What's this guy's problem?

As I recall, Ken specifically stated recently that PMs are not to be made public....that's why they are called PRIVATE Messages.

Some people obviously feel that they are above the direct instructions from the owner of the company.

Pretty unbelievable! 

Take your sanctoimiousness elsewhere, Hal.  You are pretty pathetic.

John:

I asked you to stop, I even warned you, but that wasn't enough for you, So i am finished with this discussion, throw rocks at yourself.

Not you, Hal, Nadja or anyone else has any right to sit in judgement of ANY other user. Judge not, sir, lest ye be judged.

It is quite possible that Skip got permission from the person that PMed him.  I know I have asked Ken for, and gotten, permission to disclose a PM.

Now of course I know that you were not honest about it, John because you woiuld NOT want to highlight your own bad behavior would you, of course not.

Skip

I think both you and Andrew should PM each and not let your foul tempers spoil our otherwise enjoyable evening at the forums..
