Humbly report, Poet, if you think that's strange, you missed the best part!
So marcos comes along, and says something like this:

Oh, but the self published Bard that just finished a novel all about bad Kings rulling ruthlessly, or whatever all that was, does what?
http://www.investorshub.com/beta/read_msg.asp?message_id=98582
Yep, you got it - he zapped a perfectly civil reply. Same happened to my reply, of course:
http://www.investorshub.com/beta/read_msg.asp?message_id=98638
What did I say?
"Look in thy glass, and tell the face thou viewest" -- Shakespeare.
Datsit. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now, does that make a loud statement or what? Got his point across with those two deletions much better, ay?
LOL! Some pebbles.
Who was it that said, "We are what we hate?" Forgot.
Cheers,

Humbly understand, Neenny, smaller deal that a bot does it, but still a deal...
Would it be different in your opinion if IHUB stated somewhere in the TOU that the system is programmed to XXXX-out profanity on the site, no matter where it is found.....publicly or privately. I would think that being a private site, it is within the "rights" of the site administrators to program their site to do such actions.
Absolutely. Would not be my preference, but would be better than doing it without saying it. And I'd learn to live with it.
Of course there is one simple solution.....for those in the know, about this happening.....if you don't use profanity, your message will be uncompromised.
Well, fergit dat! Not goin' cold turkey on profanity in private, no way Jose! More than one way to skin THAT cat - misspelling! (g)
But seriously, If a bot is intruding, what else, one might ask by extension, no? Your assumption that the intrusion stops with profanity morphing is based on trust, based on what? An intrusion? Sorta like, tell you what, I'll stick it in there only a little bit, but I promise you, you'll still be chaste when I get done.
It's a bad idea, causes mistrust, even if there's a warning or whatever posted wherever.
Cheers,
Svejk
Humbly disagree, Neenny.
Any intrusion of any kind, mechanical or any other is, by definition, contrary to "private."
http://www.wordsmyth.net/cgi-bin/search.cgi?submit=Define+it%21&matchent=private&matchtype=e....
At the very least there will be a perception of a problem, by some who receive their PM quoted back to them -- edited.
No. I humbly maintain that private is private, period.
I mean anyone here messing with my private stuff is like a company such as FedEx doing it, no?
Very bad. Very very bad.
Reminds me of the bot that Brad once wrote, to remove one word posts from SI. I'm NOT kidding. Got tossed over it, with my original account there, the reason I never used it again: my one word posts were being removed, I kept reposting them, got suspended, and so on... Yeah, that bot did get retired. (g)
Some things are best left untouched -- such as privacy.
Cheers,
Svejk
Humbly report, Sam, if you've got a very, very long while, here is the brief:

My humble comment on it? Well, to borrow from the real Bard:
...an unperfect actor on the stage
Who with his fear is put besides his part,
Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,
Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart...
Cheers,

P. S. At first I deleted this post (edit link now gone), because this is not the place to discuss it, if I understand HuBob's wishes correctly, so mayhaps the place where the above referenced post was made is the place to exapound on it, by anyone that wishes to do so?
delete - wrong thread.
Humbly think, HuBob, that when it comes to public messages, it's up to you (IH). When it comes to PM's, my vote is to can any editing, or any other intrusion of any kind, as soon as possible.
Private is private, and none of anyone's business except the private individuals privately communicating.

Humbly report, FG, I am aware you cannot respond to this post, but figure you are reading, so, thought I'd let you know that it seems we were both wrong -- as things stand at present.
You said, "don't think it'll work for GENI" in the post to which I am replying, and I said pretty much the same thing, earlier.
As I understand it, the paper version of the "call yer certs" letter just got delivered today, and it appears to me a short squeeze is indeed in progress.
Not yet willing to say that GENI will continue to rise, but admitting I was dead wrong up to now -- in this particular case "call yer certs" seems to be working.
Cheers,
Svejk
Humbly report, HuBob, regarding your What does everyone think of giving selected people access to the "roast spammer" button?
My vote is a humble NO. Others have pointed out the can of worms that would open.
Regarding: As a corollary countermeasure, we could impose a posting volume restriction on new accounts. Say no more than 10 posts in their first hour."
No humble opinion.
Cheers,
Svejk
Humbly begging pardon, Seahag, it was indeed a typo!
Don't recall the exact posts that FG removed, and now that you mention it, if memory serves, perhaps it was someone else other than him that removed them. If so, I stand corrected.
All the best!
Cheers,
Svejk
Humbly report, Seahog, regarding your, "I never saw FG delete posts that weren't in violation of the TOS..."
I have. They were my posts, and were subsequently undeleted.
Cheers,
Svejk
Humbly believe, Joemoney, that so far HuBob has been doing a great job, and I therefore have nothing to humbly complain about, as far as he's concerned.
No need for me to comment on the posts you linked, others have already done that.
I would like to add that I disagree with your statement that HuBob "is already not welcome by a large portion of the posters." I humbly believe that a small minority (though a vocal one) does not welcome HuBob here. The majority has not spoken, and at least as many have spoken for HuBob's presence here as have against it.
Regarding your, "Bob has renamed people's alias for dumb reasons..." I again humbly disagree. With one exception, HuBob has renamed only the aliases of members that joined to spam, and do nothing else. There is the one exception that I know of (not_Lucrecius) and I have still not humbly made up my mind on that one, pro or con, so no comment on it from me. However I very much support his renaming of 100% spammers.
Regarding your, "he allows STALKING on iHub (i have been stalked by members and bob does nothing about it)..." Please point out the instances. If you are speaking about me, obviously I disagree. So far I've only either asked you questions, or corrected statements you have made.
Regarding, "he has been VERY rude to ANYONE who criticizes him. He has driven away members, and is trying to create another cesspool like SI," my humble impression is precisely the opposite.
Humbly believe the rest of your post does not deserve a comment.
Keep up the great work, HuBob!
Cheers,
Svejk

Yeah, I'll be humbly using it.

Humbly report, HuBob, it was possible. I saw it done, probably by the same person that told you about it. In my presence he hacked my stuff. Took out a period, then replaced it. Told Brad about it, he said. Believe that got plugged as well.
Cheers,
Svejk
Humbly agree, marty, and in the process of discussing it, I hope the importance of "DD" before posting became obvious.
Equally obvious as HuBob's innocence in the matter. Case closed.
Cheers,
Svejk
Humbly beg to differ again, marty_lewis.
you did hack si. that is all there is too it.
That is not AT ALL "all there is to it."
I took advantage of a hole that Brad left wide open. No hacking required, I simply posted in the Clubhouses. That is why I put "SI hacking" in quotes, in my last post.
Bet your buns Brad plugged that hole in a big hurry. None of it Bob's business, if he was an admin at the time, I sure never knew it, I dealt only with Jill, Brad and Jeff.
no rationalizations. why are you special and hacking si is okay because of where you did it.if hacking si is a crime, do you think that a court would accept your explanation that it was "only the clubhouse"?
I'm not special. I sneaked in under the wire, as it were. The posts did not show up in my profile, Clubhouse posts didn't, so Jill had no idea I was merrily conversing with my pals, behind her back. And since after that day I never talked to Jill again, I didn't bother to tell her about it. Told Brad, when the bruhaha got ironed out again. By the time I met Bob, it was long forgotten history, so never came up.
I agree with you, hacking is a crime, I would never do it. Posting because someone left the back door open? Hey, nobody'll go to jail for that, I hope!
Want a beer?
Cheers,
Svejk
Humbly beg to differ, marty_lewis, again.
I was mistaken in my belief that bob knew about it, I posted this.
No, you posted this:
bob HE posted it, and if I remember he said he was 'scolded" for it, but he was not terminated.
You stated that as "fact," it is fiction. You did not post that you were mistaken about it, as far as I can tell. Show me, please.
That doesn't change anything about your having the three accounts, it only changes the people that should be blamed for this fact.
Huh? Changes everything. Whatever I did, years ago, had nothing to do with Bob. You blamed Bob, and supported your fiction with more fiction. If you mean to say that IF Bob had known such and such he SHOULD have done such and such, well, too late, he was not in the picture.
This in no way washes away the other things that bob has done, my sources named him.
Got nothing to do with me, don't know squat about it, don't believe you at this point, it should be clear to you as to why.
Did you ever hack si?
I found a way to post in the now defunct Clubhouses, even when locked out, and did so, with my original account, and the Easy Money one, on the same day and just before I started posting as Svejk. That is the full extent of my "SI hacking."
Cheers,
Svejk
Humble thanks, Mark, for pointing out what should have been obvious to me! Man I'm slow! Duh.
Humble thanks, read the book, got the complete picture now. Matches my first "real life" impression from last nite:

Humbly very much in favor of your present policy, HuBob, always have been.
Agree with your two reasons, spammer ID and amusement, and add a third -- ridicule -- in other words, punishment. Sort of like a scarlet letter.
None of us likes to be ridiculed and punished -- we reserve that for those that truly deserve it, like spammers do.
Cheers,
Svejk
Humbly begging pardon, marty_lewis, but you really REALLY should get your facts straight before you spew. Very annoying. Grrr. Soiled my nice clean frock, and HuBob's all in one go.
First of all, nobody but me, Jeff, Brad and possibly Jill knew I had three accounts. Bob was not even an Admin at that point, if memory serves. Secondly, the Josef Svejk and Easy Money accounts were created by me the day Brad, Jeff and I talked, on the phone, and the reason for the termination of my original account was overturned. I, and I repeat - I - was the one that decided NOT to use the old account (from which a boatload of posts had been deleted, and I no longer cared to use it anymore, butchered as it had become). Also, I told them (Brad and Jeff) that I'd open Easy Money. Jill did not know that, The minute I posted as Easy Money, Jill locked me out. I called back Jeff and Brad, and told them I'd start a third account -- Josef Svejk -- and that the other two accounts would remain dormant. Don't ask me why they didn't just call Jill and tell her to unlock my Easy Money, don't recall that part, sorry, it was kinda heated at that point. Anyhow, it was me again that decided to reactivate Easy Money JUST for one day -- April Fools -- and only used my original account one more time, to make my last post on SI, and to thereby close the whole story. None of the three accounts were ever used again.
I was never "scolded by Bob for any of this, because there was nothing to scold that he knew about! And he definitely did not scold me for terminating myself. Man, your memory needs a lube job, but bad!
Now, what the heck does that have to do with HuBob?!? All of the above were MY actions. Brad, Jeff and I had a spoken "handshake" on the situation, nobody else. Svejk was to post, the other two never. Yes, I broke the rule to have April Fools fun, with Easy Money. Easy Money's last post makes it clear it is the last post. My last post with the original account makes it clear I am done with posting on SI, period.
Do you understand?!? Good!
So please, shut the heck up about stuff you know nothing about, already! Makes you look very unflattering, to say the least!
Humble thanks in advance!!!
Cheers,
Svejk
P.S. Been gone all day, trying to catch up, have to leave again in a few hours, so I'm only touching on the most obvious carp being posted, first and foremost as it relates to me.
Humble dang, marcos, NOW you want a beer?
Sorry pal, finished the last Guinness oh, 'bout an hour ago, got the bath runnin', I'm hitt'n the sack.
Might be sompn' other in the fridge, and there's rum, of course, you know where.

Oh humble puhleeze, Gary, get a clue, how many times do I have to provide you with that link to all those folks -- SI's best -- telling the world what a loss it is to have Bob gone?
On the other hand here you are with your bit.
Dood, been there, seen it, so have dozens of the posting world's best. Your story is fiction.
Really gotta go to bed.
Cheers,
Svejk
Humbly report, Gary, as I said in my first post to you...
http://www.investorshub.com/beta/read_msg.asp?message_id=96048
Anyhoo, many a conjecture out there as to why the SI post count took a nosedive. I've got my humble theories, just like everyone else.
Here are mine: After GNET bought SI and started messing with the original Dryer Classic concept, BrowseMaster ended, INSP took over and messed with it some more, well, didn't make for happy campers, lemme tell ya! To aggravate matters, the market tanked, and folks shut up when they're hit hard. Rah rah, what?, oops, gulp, flat line.
SI Bob? Humbly suggest he had less to do with the post count drop than I've had contact with you -- little, if any. Most SI members didn't even know who he is, many of those that did know him didn't give him a second glance, and those that feel strongly about him one way or another are a small minority, you and me included.
In my second link I provided access to the voices of those that truly respect Bob, read them:
http://www.investorshub.com/beta/read_msg.asp?message_id=96193
Now, I was not here before he came to IH, but, having taken a peek at what was the norm before his arrival, well, to put it simply, not a chance I'd be here if someone like HuBob was not "minding the coop".
Night...

Humbly find it fascinating, Gary, how often a single post can say so much.
For example. I've never seen a single thing by you before reading the post to which I am responding, and bingo, a few lines, and it's like I've known you for years.
So then I look at your last post before this one. Paid promoter and a pal of FG's.

Harvey L. Pitt, a Washington lawyer who has represented Merrill Lynch & Co., the New York Stock Exchange and international accounting firms, is President George W. Bush's choice to head the Securities and Exchange Commission.
[snip]
While representing securities firms and accountants, he has opposed some of Levitt's causes on opening information to investors and dealing with auditors' potential conflicts.
[snip]
Pitt is ``not likely to share Arthur Levitt's interest in pushing the envelope on policies aimed at individual investors,' said Columbia University law professor John Coffee.
Pitt has been a critic of the SEC's Regulation Fair Disclosure, which forbids selective disclosure of company news. While it was still a proposal, he said any rule ``could create a serious problem for public companies that may be made afraid to talk to analysts at all.'
[snip]
Pitt, while representing large U.S. accounting firms, also criticized an SEC proposal that sought to avoid conflicts of interest among auditors whose firms also provide consulting services.

Humbly report, stocktalk, anything that Gary Dobry has to say goes directly into the circular file, as far as I'm concerned.
Have had the unfortunate luck of coming across his rants way too many times, never found a grain of truth in them that could be substantiated by anyone with integrity that I know of, so I simply ignore them.
May be a good idea for you to find out more about Gary, instead of concentrating on Janice.
Or, better yet, take a long hard look at your holdings, and use your own skills to decide if they are sound, regardless of what Gary or Janice have to say.
Just my humble opinion, of course.
My last word on the subject of Gary and Janice, I hope.
Cheers,

P.S. No position in IFTP, long or short. Never had one, never will.

Matt, I don't like Whiners, either, BUT...
the way some are currently whining on iHUB, borders on the INSANE... You can hardly click on a page without having to wait for these mostly useless rants to "Bloom" and I find it a gross imposition on the posting community at large by a small Group of Abusers, mostly from RB...
There is also the issue of Copyrights to consider, since at least in one poster's cases, the contents are often not developed by the said poster themselves and upon clicking on a thread or their personal profile one finds NO link or source credit is available for view...
I hope some strict Rules will soon be enacted to bring these aberrations under control, before the iHUB experience deteriorates further...
JMHO, J. Svejk - - -
