The clone usernames "RatFart" and "FatBart" have been banned for violating the Terms of Service by attempting to subvert the notion of member identity by ridiculing another member's username.

Thanks.....

Pity, I'll miss the rapier wit and the profound community contributions.....

A new clone "DullDart" has been banned and the user's main identity has been warned to cease creating these clones or all his usernames will be banned.

There's no doubt that this is an attack. Hope your banning finger holds out. Takes real balls to attack someone anonymously..... amazing how the internet fosters courage in those that we cannot otherwise see.

I would have given RatFart the benefit of the doubt - THAT could have been coincidence, but FatBart, DullDart, and RadFart are all obvious attacks.

Hello, RadFart has nothing to do with it, never heard of him! RatFart, however, is mine.

Dendras, there was no attack, since RatFart did not communicate to or about RadArt, neither did RatFart claim to be RadArt. Seems you took a liberty of banning a parody and not a malice, rcook.

All this crap has to stop. I have sat here and watch these attack and retaliations from time to time, and no one is innocent. The parties involved in the name calling and mud slinging have ALL been just as childish as one another. It's time this crap stopped. If someone slings some mud, just ignore it. It takes a bigger person to stop than it takes to retaliate! So who's going to be the bigger person?

...And goodness knows, we all appreciate the inventive nuance, the subtle, creative skill, employed to conceive the names "Ratfart" "FatBart" "DullDart" and "RadFart." Is there no end to this gift?

It seems not....sad....guess it must be something to be proud of?? Kinda like those folks that are able to sneak into a handicapped spot to park and don't get caught or the ones that trip a blind man and then tell em it was someone else or some kid putting a stink bomb in a teachers desk or a big thumbtack on the someones' chair..... a1000standard, if you, (and some others), realize just what grief and trouble this CAN cause for folks maybe you would not be so darn COCKY about it all. Your not only hurting me by doing this stuff, but your also making this forum into a drudgery for your own prankish reasons, just so you can have a laugh at someone elses expense. Meanwhile I and this forum lose just another smidgeon of credibility, as an artist and as a professional place for artists. Are you not also a little too mature for this stuff?
