Mantis, I've known Nostaw1952 since his posting days at Major Wager. He's never gotten along with people but I never had issues with him until he mistook something I posted over there. I didn't react to it and we quickly dealt with the misunderstanding. Nostaw would often fight with 3 posters over there. One poster 'Splurge' posted his real name to be Leonard Watson, and that he was a failed tout (Guesser supposedly hates touts, but he's the biggest hypocrite and douchnozzle in Forumville, so...).
Anyway when Dafinch arrived here in our Poly I had no clue he was Nostaw. He immediately started fighting with everyone, the usual moosecock fuck your mother garbage. He listed his hometown as the Bronx. Knowing that, I asked him politely if he had ever visited a place called Joe Nina's. Joe Nina's was a place in the Bronx where regular forum posters including myself had met for dinner 3 times. Dafinch's reply was that I was a faggot asking him for a date. A few days later Dafinch found out I was Scott Landau and he maybe felt like an ass so he PMd me. We exchanged a few messages, all friendly. I never got to the point of asking him why he decided to take on this persona here. No private info was discussed.
FF several years and I now realize it's not a persona, it's him. So one day he's just completely overboard deranged in here. He wasn't talking to me at the time. I told him to shut up or I would post a link to further embarrass him. He gave me the usual reply. I pointed to the link at MW. I should not have done that, and I realize that now. I was actually going to apologize to him for it but I was waiting for things to calm down between us for a week.
It never got that far. At most 4 days would go by and out of the blue he'd refer to me for 'Snitch Bitch' (I guess his info at MW. Ironically he's reported me to mods 3 times that I know about). Or he'd google for something to start a Jew-bait thread about. I don't think he'd have accepted this apology anyway as I don't think it's in his DNA to lessen conflict or get along.
It's the same thing with Guesser. Whenever offered peace in here Guesser's reply is always the same, an agreement with a backhanded warning that the agreement is only good until the other poster breaks it. And then when he does watch out because he's going to call you "FRINGY WELCHING HYPOCRITE" again. Oh my....
