Confirms what I suspected was the case since obviously I know that Arniegang has zero credibiitly in thinking he knows what he does not know.

If I can pipe up for a second.....yes, Ian and I are excellent friends, and I can assure you that neither he nor I have anything to do with this XPT character. As far as Concord, I doubt that as well. Concord has not been around in ages, and last we spoke, he was back in his home country.

Further to the above, having met Concs many, many times, I can tell you he could not spell if his life depended on it. There is not a chance he wrote that PM to "himself"....having played Pictionary and Trivia with the guy, he can barely read a multisyllabic word, and misspells four letter words quite unintentionally.

Looking at the title of this thread, I can say unequivocally that #1, Concs would not have put a comma after "ok", #2, would not know how to use a colon, #3, would not know the word "Punk'd" as he is hardly from the MTV generation.

Arnie, not cool to say that it was me who confirmed this "Ballbraker" character. You and I have corresponded plenty, but never about forum shenanigans. Perhaps you have me confused?

Tonight being Wednesday, Ian and I meet to toast a Guiness to Concord's memory. He is missed in many forums it seems. If anyone wants to join, we'll be at the usual haunt.

All the best,
DD

P.S. As per usual, had a heckuva time logging in, and thankfully, copied my typed post.


Hey DD

It is quite a coinsidence that you logged in the very day your name was mentioned - isn't it ? :wink:

Furthermore, it is even more interesting and an even bigger coinsidence that your last post was on the 22nd November and XPT joined the forum on Nov 22nd. :wink:

Mate you did indeed confirm to me that Ballbreaker was Concs - this was after you told him "to let it go" in open forum and, after he thought it was a laugh posting a poll on who as too who would be a Mod after i had departed. I may be ill DD, but senile i am not.

Just because Concs isnt in Dubai doesn't mean he doesn't post. Yea we all know he goes home for a break to see Mrs Concs on a regular basis. In any event XPT could be a shared used between 2 0r 3 parties :wink:

I have never insinuated on this forum you have any connection with XPT, likewise i had never mentioned you have any connection with Ian. Perhaps you have me confused.


Aren't you the guy bleating about broken records????

Questions that come to mind:

1- Why would someone, who doesn’t know you, bother to write such a long PM to you. Was that just to make you feel better ???

2- Why would the sender have to go thru all that trouble he described in the PM? Wow…! Was it to just to piss off Sage and Arnie?? Hardly worth it!!! Don't you think??

3- You said you kept this PM for 3 months! That means you got it just a few days after you joined this forum. Was that enough time for your sender to assess your situation with Sage and Arnie!! Hardly imaginable!!

4- Is it a coincidence that DD suddenly appears after such a long absence to support your case??

I didn’t say you made all that up, but I’m just a bit suspicious!!


8) 8)


1. I did not know at first why the person did it but learned (through pm exchange) that the person dislikes Arniegang's moderating, etc. And that person is free to reveal who she/he is. In addition the person has a sense of humor - warped you might say - and thought it would be funny. It certainly is.

2. Seems so.

3. You are being too literal here I meant dec,jan,feb (not exactly 3 december). Anyway as it often happens one does not join a forum on the very first day. It may have to do with the fact that right away I was being attacked because I complained about the moderating on this forum and what was told I could move on, etc. and the concord name popped up. You are free to go back and look (or wait for Arniegang to do it for you). I could have said in my month 1 month or nothing at all but after Arniegang and Sage percisted with their belief and obsession on concord I was about to post the PM but thought it would be more interesting if I waited. It was worth it.

4. Sure is. What are you insinuating?

I reckon from your posts that Arniegang is your friend but that is irrelevant viz-a-viz who is who.

See at the meet :wink:

I haven't figured out the quote function yet. Just wanted to say that, Arnie, as far as the Ballbraker thing goes, I have no clue. I'm not sure how I would have confirmed that to you seeing as I never knew what Conc's other personalities are. I DO recall a post I did somewhere in the past saying to let it go, I do not recall what it was about, but I remember thinking that someone was acting like a douchebag. Perhaps I suspected it was Concs or something? Who knows.

As for a coincidence posting the day my name was mentioned? Completely a coincidence. I check the forum regularly, but rarely post. I know you, as a MOD, are able to see IP addresses, so clearly you can see that I am me and not another. I guarantee that you will see that I post from the same IP all the time (until I moved last year).

The forum has been a bit dull of late, so this XPT cat is kinda amusing. Back when I joined in 2007, the forum was fast moving and was generally quite helpful. If it has turned into a who's who because of the tough times, and not many questions that are Dubai-related, that's cool too. I'll play along.

He is insinuating Concs, that DD knew about this via the telephone with a view to give your alter ego more credibilty.

DD's credabilty is zero in my book now that he has publicly denied telling me you were ballbreaker. Shame, i had a lot of respect for him and never thought he would stoop so low as too give support to a and sick psychotic idiot like you Concs.

You told me about it in a "pm" mate :lol:

You also "forgot" to reply after inviting my wife and I to "the show" in London with Mrs DD. I guess you forgot about that as well :wink:

You know something!

This whole thing sounds too bizarre and doesn’t make any sense!!

But…. what can I say???

Well...OK…I think I got it!!

I think this is probably one crazy practical joke (prank) being played on Arnie and Sage by their old friends!!! Including DD, hence the timely appearance!!!

So c’mon guys!!! Let's have the punch line!

This prank is getting too drawn out….and becoming too silly!!!
