"scooter"???

That pretty much says it all.  

Mongrel: Away back when, in an attempt to out his real identity, JEG found the photo of "Roster" on his scooter web page, where Tony AKA the troll had posted it himself, apparently. Be thankful you didn't see it - once seen it cannot be un-seen.

Redriley: moment of mental weakness I guess! (Keep stirring!)

Why would you even start a post with his name in the title? Just stirring the pot. 

Don't feed the troll.

There's more chance of M-M revealing the identity of the user posing as isn't-a-specialist than there is of the mentally ill person actually posting photos (as requested over the last couple of years) or providing a shipping address...

Again, threads like this just feed the troll.

Did someone on this forum actually post a photo of themselves sans a top covering?  I could do that 50 years ago (but never did, to my knowledge, here or elsewhere) but unless this poor wee soul can outab the sensible people out there, he needs to stay fully clothed in his momma's basement

PS, No.

I do NOT need to see the photo you referred to.

Yeah... with his shirt ON! (Still can't "unsee" that photo GAK!)

I'm all signed up on Restoration-Mini. com!

Eh?

I misread the original post - I thought it was asking if we wanted to see Specialist in (ie, wearing) a Mini so I voted yes.

(just curiosity you understand, I'm not that weird).

Guys, I agree with your comments absolutely. I was just trying to get a "put-up-or-shut-up" situation going. I'm looking into your suggested new "home" Thanks!

If it promised to go away if there were 10 requests, I'd be in. Otherwise, I politely suggest NOT feeding the troll. I couldn't care less if it has a Mini or not. Ignore it, or refer it to its little space.

Couldn't have put it better myself! Oh wait, I did refer to this possibility in my Posts on PISHLESS' "My Space".  I think the term I used to describe our Host was a Eunich.  
Like yourself I've joined the exodus to Restoration Mini. They wouldn't put up with this clown for a second.

The original poster is likely gone or he was never real to begin with. This poster has none of the same attributes as the first poster.

To me, the only logical answer is that someone still thinks they're funny (I feel sad for you if that's the case) or they are from MiniMania and are simply trying to make their website relevant by keeping traffic and posts constant on the forum... if that's the case, then it's even more sad.

1) The current idiot only posts in his containment zone so as not to completely ruin the forum. Points towards a MM employee
2) He tries to draw people into his containment zone to draw up traffic and post count. Points towards MM employee
3) He's not on any other mini forum... because he would be immediately banned. Points towards MM employee
4) MiniMania WILL NOT ban him even though the entire community wants him banned. Points towards MM employee
5) He posts regularly and with no substance yet doesn't get bored. Points towards sad troll
6) MiniMania has actually endorsed his mischief and said they want him here because he gets people's attention. Points towards MM employee

I could go on for quite a while. But the whole point is that people keep talking about him because they just can't turn away from the train wreck, they are genuinely entertained in some weird perverse way, or they're in on it with the troll or MiniMania. No matter your reason, the only answer is to literally ignore him and let it die because MiniMania won't step in and do what its members request. Which is sad in itself

All in all, MiniMania is sadly dieing and this idiocy is the primary reason I don't post here. I'm disappointed in myself for even making a post, but it needs to be said because no one else seems to want to "be rude to the host". I don't care one way or another. I only post here to let folks that aren't on RestorationMini.com (you should really join) know when I've done something new to my car or posted a new YouTube video. I'm exploiting this forum's artificial traffic for my personal gain because they have no problem exploiting us.

Have a great Mini day!

Dan,I have had enough of his crap. I don't care if he has a mini,or if he jumps off a cliff. I want him gone.

OK. Specialist has made a promise to prove he has a Mini.

From his "My Little Space" thread:

To be valid, the video must have something unique in it, such as a can of soup sitting on the engine, with the cold air intake you made visible, or your scooter beside the Mini. Voice in background only isn't enough as that can be easily dubbed in.


Count me in.
