A member named timoteo1 has become a nuisance in the Poser forum.

Although I do not specifically disagree with a small portion of his argument his obsessive trolling and whining about specific members is making it difficult to read threads in the forum. Particularly threads where significant announcements are being made and serious issues are being discussed.

The member seems particularly concerned about users of the Macintosh system. A minor problem with said system currently is the absence of information regarding the availability of Poser 5 for that system. The delay is the prerogative of Curious Labs who would surely have realised there will be some protest. The majority of members using that system, myself included, are not too troubled over this situation. A variety of members are also being very impatient and critical of delays and non information about the applications upgrade.

timoteo1 however seems to want make it a personal undertaking to respond to every thread where the non-simultaneous platform release is raised with his inane drivel. His entries are almost identical, word-for-word, as if he already has it in a WP document or text macro ready to insert. Lately he has singled out myself and another member as if to provoke us to respond. The other member has debated with him on the subject when it has been raised, but timoteo1 has continued to name myself and that member in successive threads since.

What is his mission? I dont see any work of his in galleries or free stuff that would back up any claim to being any sort of 3D artist of any kind, let alone an animator and least of all either one of the eminent 12 animators.

He claims to be some sort of skilled industry veteran but his various posts to various threads dont often support this. In fact none of his entries seem to make any sort of major contribution to any subject. In addition hes been emailing Curious Labs constantly with ridiculous criticisms about the Poser 5 manual and imagined faults with the application that hes allegedly found in the manual. These faults are very rarely verified by any Renderosity member or by Curious Labs staff.

Recently he has been name-calling a third member.

I would not like to see a thread locked and have members with legitiment enquiries disadvantaged or the release of Poser 5 compromised down to this wally. Other members have criticised the Mac system and users of but his champaign has not been taken up by like minded people.

Were all enjoying reading Renderosity and especially the Poser since the anouncement of version 5 but like I wrote earlier there are significant announcements being made and serious issues being discussed which dont require his input.

The last serious discussion into the two systems ended when SJ accused BG of putting too much butter on his scones.
