That's exactly what happened. He reached out to me & I told him that I wasn't interested (but in a long paragraph, not just the words "not interested") he gave me a short, cold message back. I figured we were going to have a back and forth a little bit; wrong. Once I saw how short he was I figured when I was listening to the show, that I was listening to an act. Then once he saw my political views he got on my case constantly - even giving me private "warnings". Even the warnings were cold & short. I even found a glitch on his system where it would log me in under someone else's name. I reported it to him ASAP & figured he'd be grateful that I reported the problem - but again, I got a short, cold crappy response.
He's an ungrateful turd.
I was put on a 'discourage list' - an amazing coincidence right after having expressed a political opinion, and from anyone who reads what I've written here I am hardly inflammatory. In a PM he told me that the list was intended basically for trolls to f*** up their forum activities and that I had somehow accidentally wound up there. Imagine that. Almost as big a coincidence as Roger Patterson's. This was after a week or two of farting around with him denying any problem. "
Works fine for me" was what I got. I mentioned I was once a systems administrator that had 'enhanced' a user interface once or twice he instantly replied wanting to know what I used to work on. When I told him and it was clearly of no use to him that was the end of it.
I think I've mentioned this here before but am doing so again in case there's even a slim chance he sees this. I'd tell him he shot himself in the foot. I was a Day1 listener who had recently subscribed to P+. I thought I should finally support the free show I had been enjoying and would probably have bought another hideously overpriced mug or something. Dicking around with a paying member who really wanted to show some minimal support. He can't really be that hard up for cash if petty opinions cause him to do this. If he is a man of such political convictions I wonder what he makes of all those uber-survivalist advertisers which take up so much time of the free version.
In that interim of being discouraged I found AE and then realized how much the show began to suck. Transparent nitwit. People voluntarily come to these forums for a reason and if he's going to dick around for shallow reasons and then use the whole thing as his personal ATM then he and Randall can have fun by themselves.
