I'm through posting there, I just wanted to prove he wasn't in as much control as he thought.

If you really want to post...

www.anonymizer.com/

$9.95 for 3 months. Enter the full url http://www.ferrari-talk.com/cgi-bin/forum/discus.cgi

Anonymizer puts you on whichever server has the lowest load. If he bans that IP, then you can just login again, chances are your Anonymizer server will change too. If you're on AOL or yahoo or many large ISP's, then if you log off and back on your IP will usually change.

Anonymizer is also good for all those firewalls at work that won't let you go to certain sites.

Actually I have always been around.... just have not seen much to comment on. I will, for the record, say that I was VERY verbal in my pointing out that JVR was and is and A**hole. Nice to see that once he started smoking others here you all seem to agree.

I realize that I am kinda new here but here is my .02. There are a helluva lot more users here (than there) and he is getting free press in front of what he wishes could/would be his own user base. Last week there were alot less and now there are familiar names posting over there.

I know...free country...post wherever you want to, blah-blah-blah.

Face it. He is a thieving, homophobic worm....and I am saying that based on MY OWN interaction(s) with him.

Rob, he stole and is not looking back. Don't let him under your skin. You are obviously trying to take the high road but he cannot and will not accept it. Let him have his 113(HA) users and let's stop putting him center stage.

I posted a thread over there today to have a friendly discussion what makes a good online community.

If he removes it eventually, then we all know he has a personal problem and not objective as my post isn't anything negative to JRV or F-T.

Rob,
Maybe Jeffery Wolfe has also decided to "defect" to that site. I know he and JRV chased each other all over the threads on this site to take shots at each other. Jeff did at least give me some info I needed, even though he was labeled here as as an anti-semetic, racist pig, and by his position "hated to see what what happening" to "his country", even though he was apparently born in Scotland. I know this may seem a bit obscure to new members on the forum, but I think those two have many entries on the hall of shame and flame, or whatever it is.
I have always found this site helpful. The members here are very knowledgeable about F-cars and just about anything else you can imagine. I have never been disappointed with anything I have purchased from any sponsor of this site, or anything I have purchased from another member.
I admit I have tried the link to "F-Talk" (Hi, My name is Mike and I've tried Ferrari-Talk) but so far have found that JRV seems to make sure he has the last word on any thread. I think I'll stick to this site where Rob lets "Freedom of Speech" reign.
By the way, I have yet to earn the coveted
Ass-Clown Award."

I find this turn of events so very ironic!
I followed the link below to Ferrari-Talk.cum and saw the message from JRV, as follows:
""The other board is a hostile way way over the top hard core group of talking heads with delusions of self importance. This board is and always shall remain exactly opposite of everything that is wrong with the other board...and that's not an accident.""
There is some truth to this!

2002 & early 2003 I was a newbie who was starting to post on FerrariChat.com and was enjoying it & getting a lot out of it. I then encountered Mr. JRV who demonstrated exactly what he is now admonishing above. So with that and a other childish things that were going on at that time in FChat (by JRV and similar others), I decided to drop-out. I've been out for over half a year. I do regret this as FChat is basically a wonderful place. I'm not really that thin-skinned but I have to put up with enough of this type of BS at work so why submit to even more? OK - I'm really the loser here, but that none-the-less is what happened. I suspect that there are 100's of other enthusiastic and talented FChat members who don't contribute for much the same reasons. I will try not to be one of them any longer :-)

The point here is the hypocracy being spewed from Ferrari-Talk.cum.
JRV - I would be proud to be banned from your world!

The fact that he has claimed to have talked to "his lawyer" is probably a good indication that he has not. I find that people without legal representation often threaten to send their lawyer because they think it will scare you. Doubtful that JRV is willing to pay for the billable time for this issue.

Plus, there are some potential copyright problems with F-Talk that I doubt the other side wants to address.

Rob, you can afford to take the high road here. Water seeks it's own level. If JRV is not on the up-and-up in his business dealings it will all come to light. No reason to get involved.

Put your energy into building F-Chat and all will be well. He wants you to take your eye off the ball and he's baiting you.

I just sent this email to JRV, I think it pretty much sums things up.

1) I never got out of line on F-T, he was upset because I was there posting and his users were talking about FC.

2) It's not illegal for me to post on his site as long as it's public. He needs better security.

3) I'm banned from his site at work and I haven't been there all day. I have no idea except what was copied here and what has been posted or from whom. I have no control on what others post.

4) His comments are verging on "actionable" as Art says. If he continues, I will own him!

My email...

Unless you want your own legal trouble, take this as advice...

http://www.ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/132929/327419.html?1065812194

I gave you the opp earlier this week to be cool. You should of taken my offer.

I have no idea what's been said on your site today or who from FC is posting and you're having problems with. I'm banned and haven't been on your site at all today. I haven't posted any out of line messages and I don't plan on it. If I do post messages they will be constructive questions, answers, or just informational. You can continue to delete my messages, that's your right, but that won't stop me from posting. I may go weeks without posting, I may post at 2pm, I may post at 2am, who knows. There's nothing illegal with me posting as long as you have a public forum as there's nothing illegal for you to delete my messages.

I plan on continuing being cool and have just written your recent behavior off as crazy. Let me warn that you don't dare make any false acquisitions against me or FerrariChat.com. I've got the resources and support to carry this out legally for a long time, do you?

Sincerely,
rob

and

"Bruce, he is not the type of poster we want here!

This site is exclusively for good, decent, moral car enthusiats that want a nice positive atmosphere !!!

So plainly put, troublemakers, and just plain ole rotten people aren't welcome.

Truly it's a very simple concept !!

JRV"

and

"Trolls and Undesirables of every pathetic type will be controlled here!

Personally I find officers of the FCA becoming so undesirable that they get banned a very sad state of affairs and a Huge Blackeye on the FCA for allowing such types to hold office. I think when they are fully brought up to speed on how their officers conduct themselves in public they will be saddened, probably to the point of action.



Regards, JRV"

and

"Plenty...

and now the time for action against the mean spirited morally bankrupt individuals is nearing a resolution.

And once again, this board has very simple rules, act nice, you're welcome, act in an undesirable manner get banned.

JRV"

and

"Ya know Bruce, I believe you just may not understand. And I'm probably not the person that can help you with that.

However, try this on for size....

some people just seem to think they're immune from the consequences of their socially unacceptable and sometimes illegal behaviour...the jails are full of those types..that the rules of civility and society didn't apply to them...funny thing is...those people got away with their sicialy prohibited bevaviour for awhile...but when one chooses to live on the ugly, unacceptable dark side life catches up to them...some sooner, some later...but it catches up. Why, because no matter how certian people delude themselves into thinking they are immune more powerful people disagree. When that happens, their immunity gets revoked.

Not everyone thinks these socially unacceptable morally bankrupt individuals are cute and should be allowed to get away with such behaviour forever. When that happens and one has chosen the low road thru life..well, it's time to pay the Piper.

JRV"

(A self-confession if I have EVER seen one)

and

"The other board is a hostile way way over the top hard core group of talking heads with delusions of self importance. This board is and always shall remain exactly opposite of everything that is wrong with the other board...and that's not an accident.

For the curious 6 IP's have been banned so far and our Moderators have permission to make that list grow at the drop of a hat if neccesary. This board will never be the Landfill of the Internet.

Case Closed. {}

Regards, JRV"

and

"What's the reason ???????????????

I suggest you go back to your board and start a thread in Off Topic (or anywhere else you feel like) and find out what "THE END" means !!!

This is the only thread on this entire site with even the slightest negative slant to it....and it's solely because you're in it. Don't you get it yet ????????????????? And in case you don't, try pulling your head out of your ass long enough to digest this...Negative People take Negativity with them wherever they go !!!

So for cryin out loud !!! If you want to talk about your board get there over and talk away."

Enough said. Case closed, indeed. That motherf'cker is going to give himself a coronary. To which I say, Bring It On.

Just FYI, here's instructions how to change your IP...

http://www.astalavista.com/library/basics/guides/cipa.html

Most ISP's assign IP's dynamic, so you just have to logout and login again. Small chance you might get the same IP and have to cycle again. You can always see your IP by going to Start - Run - "command" and then typing "ipconfig" at the Command prompt.

Also, with this software you can set it so for banned users, once they login, their IP will be added to the IP block list. Once your banned, don't login with your account anymore, just login as a guest or create a new free email at places like hotmail for a new account.

Rob, I am sorry my posts several weeks ago were sort of uncivil. But I think youll agree that I called it perfectly.

I had the little cucarachs's number from his first brittle, hostile, bullying post. And now he continues to forcefully show everyone taller than he is (and that means literally everyone) what sort of person he really is.

Sad. Unhappy. Bipolar. Violent. Psychotic. Insecure. Sexually confused and inadequate. Hostile to a fault. Totally predictable. And probably dangerous.

It is sad that he has sunk so low, and is so close to apparent business insolvency, that he feels compelled to take YOU on to salve is fragile house of cards ego, especially when you have done nothing but treat him fairly.

And that speaks volumes.

Thanks Bob, I'm realizing that. I stuck up for JRV the past couple weeks when he was being attacked by a few in the Texas section. I wasn't on his side, I was just trying to keep the discussion civil. Tuesday I sent JRV an email saying that both of us should move on, no reason to always be at each others throats and for him to tell me specific problems he had with me or FC and we would discuss it. Thursday he started trying to ban me. :-)

Maybe you could inform users offline if they wished to here your info.

when do I get my check for running this board? :-) What's really funny is JRV was a major contributor to some serious battles here on f-chat- I realize that not every one was his fault but I can't say he was an innocent victim either.

Besides I am throwing the GENERAL TOPIC flag here. This has Ferrari stuff to it and can not be posted in the OFF-Topic section.

Jeez, guys learn where to post what. When I want to read about GWB and Arnold I do not want to be bothered with Ferrari stuff. After all this is NOT why I logged into FerrariChat.com! :-)

completely missing the spirit of this site.

glad I was named as one of the negatives. Who cares as long as they know my name it is publicity!

Well, first of all, he can't ban me, because all he can do is block IP's and I can change my IP all day long. :-) He's already banned about 5 of my IP's.

Funny thing is that my last few posts he just put his own name in and wrote what he wanted. None of my posts were attacks or out of line, maybe my 3rd post down was the worse and the next post after that was a good one. Here's some of the posts that got banned yesterday...

1) A technical question asking that board for best points to jack up a 355.

2) Welcome message to Allan after he posted there and I asked if we could have a beer together.

3) Good luck message on L-T for their R.O.B. this weekend. Telling them to take plenty pictures and I hope the weather holds out.

4) Picture and write up of a beautiful 250 LM I saw.

As an example one of the posts he hasn't found yet...

http://www.lamborghini-talk.com/forum/messages/21/913.html?1065725423

We'll see how long it lasts now. :-)

I'm going to post more "quality" threads this weekend and in the coming months various times of the day. It's kinda funny, he's so intent on copying FerrariChat.com, then slamming it, and then not allowing me to post even when the threads aren't negative.

The poor guy is already crazy, think what he'll be like in a few months after not being able to sleep so he can delete my posts.

Seriously though I'm at a crossroads deciding whether to ignore him or spread all the information that has been provided to me why you shouldn't associate or do business with this troll. I'm leaning towards being hands off as usual and let people learn on their own. If others want to come forward, that's fine with me, this is a public forum where you're mostly free to post what you want. If you want the old Iraq of Ferrari boards, then the address is www.ferrari-talk.com.

I'm open to any and all advice.

I suppose he banned him for being a nice guy and for letting JRV copy his website to the T. Or maybe he doesn't like anyone who is taller than him?

Jeez that D1nk(my opinion) has a hard on for anyone that doesn't kiss his a$$.

Since he banned you are you going to ban him?? And if is looking for taking legal action against you wouldn't you have a case to take his short little self to court over the copying of your websites?

I've slowed down some recordings of
Hamburglar

uttering the only phrase he knows:
"Robble, robble, robble"

Interestingly, it comes out as:

"Rob Lay, Rob Lay, Rob Lay"

Coincidence? I think not.

I'm sure Mr. Lay will be devastated. What will he do? Maybe he could hide under a fake name... Do you think Mike Alpert or Tony Roberts is already taken? Heck, if that doesn't work he might just have to start up his own Ferrari discussion board to compete. What will he ever do?
