So let me get this straight - Haus has two suits but feels no one else should?

No, Timewave. I am telling you that people who use more than one user name on the board will get them burnt. Haus registered his second suit before the rules came into effect and it was agreed that - assuming that he didn't use it or conceal its identity in any way - there was really no need to delete it (deleting a suit being not entirely an easy job). Haus - whether you like it or not and whatever you may think of his moderation style - is genuinely trusted by pretty much everyone to not use that second suit to be destructive around the board.

Now, if I hadn't made myself clear - if you have a specific allegation that you want to make, then make it to me and I'll look into it as openly as I can do. If you don't have a specific allegation to make, then shut the hell up.

Oh dear. I beg your pardon. I have been offline for a few days and I am simply trying to catch up to speed.I'm not sure what line I have crossed but I'll try to stay off the shooting range in the future.
 
 
ONLY NICE THINGS

To clarify this point - I have at various times invited Tom to destroy the second suit, but he has each time told me it wasn't worth the hassle. The only thing I use it for these days is to check whether people have PMed me by its login name rather than my own by mistake, which occasionally happens. The only time I can think of using that suit was when I discovered that the sexless backpacker had been sending me threatening PMs. Somewhat rattled, I think I posted in the Policy without logging out and back in again.

So, this is rather like the "Timewave Zero" multiple suit, theoretically, since the owner of that suit claims that ze will not be using their old suit any more. The only obvious differences are that the suit owner in question does not feel that ze should be obliged to reveal hir previous identity, and that the Timewave Zero suit was registered as a spare or multiple suit after Tom had asked people not to register multiple suits.

There is another question in my mind about the Timewave Zero suit, but I expect that TZ hirself will be aware by now of what that is and why it might be open to question, and would probably do better to raise it hirself if ze feels it might cause problems if it came to light further down the line.

To clarify precisely why suit J (or whoever that particular suit might be from one day to the next) will not apologise to me I shall explain something. I was rather rude- to make sure that they read the deleted post I pretty much repeated my thoughts via PM (not quite as offensively but with equal bite I think). I do not take my feelings back. Certain members of this board are viewed as Haus' loyal sidekicks with a little underdog thrown in for good measure, I have absolutely no desire to be anyone's sidekick (underdog or not). I shall continue to defend those who I believe are being unfairly accused and will only stop doing so when evidence proves me wrong. As usual people have been throwing their words around as if they had no currency and I only do so when I'm attempting (often unsuccessful) humour. I hope I haven't rotted this thread but felt there was something to be explained here.

In addition I'd like to make it clear that in now way am I trying to pick a fight with anyone and if anyone has anything to address to me on this matter I'd like them to stick to PM since I view all this as pretty private. There's no need to carry this on in public and I have taken on board what Tom's said elsewhere! Thanks.
