IP ADDRESSES, that is, Internet Protocol Addresses, are what appear to be three sets of NUMBERS that identify YOU on a Block, or, RANGE of numbers.
Here is a IP ranges: 68.0.0.0 to 68.255.255.255
Mostly it was a Misunderstanding. A bunch of us... Uh, about a Thousand of us, really: We post on about 3 to 7 EZ-Boards. http://Artistarea.com: A URL owned by Master Zap, actually, was first assigned to ther board located at http://realitybb.com Master Zap got angry at the owner of http://realitybb.com and assigned HIS "ArtistArea.com DOMAIN to what is not http://moosiks.com - But now, the owners of Moosiks, have retired, and so, http://moosiks.com has become ACID RAIN... Which is what it was ORIGINALLY. So: MY board is called Level 1 and it is part of a set of forums called The 13th Floor, and is HERE (LEVEL 1)
So, although a bunch of changes have been assigned to these places:
"Though names have changed each face retains the masque it wore" - Peter Gabriel,
Now: EZboard is pretty damn cool, but you have to respect people. That is the basic problem with the Dog-Damned world: NO FOOKING RESPECT.
So, here is the Sleazy-EZ-Bored Privacy Policy:

See, a certain person had ASKED me to basically VIOLATE someone else's PRIVACY by basically saying "Heh, hey good buddy, can you post So-snd-so's IP ADDRESS so that it can be proven that I am not that person"
Well, "Certain Person" probably had NO IDEA what kind of Privacy Invasion she was asking me to do, and basically was setting me UP for a GLOBAL BAN.
So, of course the inquiry was worded like "I need to prove that so and so is not me... Can you POST so and so's IP addy?
Holy FUCK Fatblam, does she think I am THAT STOOPID?
Then I get this HUGE giGANtoid Flooging POS Private Message (ANOTHer thing this, this... THING likes to do, is POST private MESSAGES FROM you TO the Main Board. THE FUCK? Is there SUCH a thing as Privacy?
WHO HERE THINKS THAT POSTING PRIVATE MESSAGES TO A PUBLIC FORUM IS BASICALLY A COMPLEAT BREACH OF PRIVACY AND THAT THE VIOLATOR OF SUCH A TRUST SHOULD IN FACT BE SHOT, AND THEN BEATEN WITH BILLY CLUBS BY THE INTERNET COPZ? AND THEN BOILED IN OIL? WHO HERE AGREES WITH ME THAT THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE FUCKING RUDEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN THE WORLD OF COMMUNICATIONS?
So, then I get a note- and this is AFTER I moved her IP-revealing THREAD... "Gee I am STOOPID, Duh Gugh-Gudly-Fnoog-Popity-finoogle-glooog!- And I DO NOT KNOW A THING about privacy rules--- MmmmM? and IP addy's GEE WHAT'S THAT WHAT ARE Those what's an IP addy?
And I was just thinking, EITHER this woman (of you can call IT that) would be a FUCKING, STOOPID BUFFOON-COW... or WHAT?
Well the ANSWER to this is ENIGMA is an OR WHAT!
THIS little PITY-PARTY got REJECTED LAST NIGHT when I FOUND OUT, from someone who has HIGH credibility:
That THIS PERSON I am "talking about" ACTUALLY KNOWS MORE ABOUT HOW THE INTERNET WORKS THAN A LOT OF PEOPLE DO... They are actually very CLEVER with it.
Cos if this is TRUE: THEN they did MORE than harm someone by calling them names... Or pretended to be an IDIOT by posting IP addys and TRIED to get ME GLOBALLY BANNED...
Anyway, for now, I am sitting on this shit, and I even apologised to the person... For now. And let me say one thing about MY Blog: It's PRIVATE.
So, if I see parts of this posted at places where I go to hang out to have FUN... Well, I have been ITCHING for a reason to permanent-Ban someone.
So... GIVE me a reason, PLEASE!
Fucking DUCKFUCKERS!
