With those who have said to not say anything conclusive until facts are proven and truths are known, I would agree with them 100%.
As to whether this is the real Howlin or not, I don't have the slightest idea. But to say that live out in a forum without any real evidence to back it up is to me an example of a grave personal attack, one which you ought to delete immediately or face the well-intentioned wrath of club members.

Therefore, my suggestion would be to delete the prior thread which said that Howlin is an impostor and leave this one up which asks a harmless question and doesn't come to any rash conclusions.

Just my two cents, but one of the key things as moderator you need to be willing to acknowledge is YOUR mistakes and deal with them in a manner with which you would treat any posting member on the forum.

Otherwise, you are JimRob....
BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!!


Okay, big boy, where is YOUR proof of your accusations?

Howlin, that post by Sam was critical of me for announcing to the forum (shortly after recieving word from our mutual friend) that the Howlin posting to Reunion was a fake!

He regarded the fake Howlin to be real and wanted her thread summarily yanked on that basis.

I believed it to be fake (ie I believed you though our mutual friend) and was inclined to let it stand as hilarious parody.

Those who believed it was really you (such as Sam Spade) disagreed and wanted it pulled (for the sheer pleasure of censoring a Guilder). Get it?

In any case, all issues and controversies were resolved by the end of that afternoon but for one: the forum remained divided as to whether HOWLINFR was fake or real. But, HOWLINFR was banished and her attacks deleted. It did not happen two days later as you implied.

I know. I know. I'm still a low-down dirty rotten liar. (sigh)

Didn't you read this sentence?

As to whether this is the real Howlin or not, I don't have the slightest idea.

I don't even remember what threads I was referring to, but I do remember that I didn't know whether the Howlin there was an impostor or not and specifically said so in this sentence.

Not everyone is out to get you, I promise that. I just think the Guild is bad writing, for example.

I also have nothing against or for any of the members personally, unless I know them. Then I might.
