Not a big deal guys. The guy is an admitted hot head at times so instead of getting banned he used a ghost to vent when he was pissed off. I don't endorse ghosts and I like the guys over at BHB but I am sure we will all live past this "big emergency". Difference between this ghost and most the others is he had the sack to admit it and apologize. If he was creating aliases to play in contests that would be a different story.
As far as IP traces it's tough with over 15000 users, anonymizers out there, and AOL who never gives you a concrete match so we don't waste a lot of time doing it. As General said mostly someone's agenda gives them away rather than their IP addy. I know the wars whom certain posters hold so dear to their heart these posters just can't live without getting back at "the enemy". They reveal who they are almost every time. Important stuff to some that these forums are good at getting the other side to know just how much you may hate someone.

Pat, good post and understandable man.
MrKennedy, I knew you didn't, all good.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Justin, classy response since he was hard on you guys. Thanks. I know it's easier for me to say forgive and forget but I respect a man who can apologize for a mistake. He even said he was partially to blame. Anyway we will try and keep a better eye out for abuses when we can.

With all due respect, the only reason he "admitted" to it is because he shot himself in the foot and posted under the wrong handle - BY ACCIDENT.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I hear you man I'm not even following this all that closely. I'm not trying to make him out to be a victim or a hero, just respect the fact he apologized over it. The fact someone accidently posted under their ghost name does not bring forth an apology in more cases than not. Some guys you can have on camera doing something and they won't admit it, LOL. Anyway the gist of what I was saying is with all the little things in these forums that blow up to be so big it's nice to see Kennedy offer up an apology and BHB accept it. Just my opinion on this, obviously others may see it differently.

I apologized to everyone for ghosting. I did not apologize for bashing BHB, because I still feel wronged by them..eventhough I could have done things very different.
I apologize to BHB for suggesting they sold their equptment. I do not have anything to back up that accusation.. as for my opinion about them going down, I do not apologize for that. It is my opinion, and I am entitled to it.
