aloc

[Scott Dolan]

Of course, we all do. But that's all he ever presented here, and that still pissed off certain people. So that's what I was saying, let's keep pissing them off.

Not rude at all. It's a pat on the back for aloc, and a finger in the eye of his haters.

[erwbol]

I think there sometimes is a general unpleasantness about the atmosphere on this forum. It's an uninviting place. Becoming more belligerent is a necessary survival trait.

[sonnymax]

At this point, it's probably downright stupid of me to admit that I was one of the people who was annoyed from time to time with the sheer volume of aloc's miscellaneous threads. More often than not, they were about random things he found on the web that others here weren't particularly interested in, as evidenced by the fact that rarely did anyone respond to the OP. I don't believe the few comments I made about about this habit of starting three, four or more such threads a day were necessarily "snarky", but some may have been, and for that I apologize. What did turn quite ugly was the backlash against such criticism, which targeted specific members and became quite personal. I'll welcome aloc back if he decides to contribute to the board again. Personally, I'd prefer that he try to create and participate in discussions that engage other members, rather than just "cut and paste" something from the web. Again, that's just my personal opinion, and I'll withhold any negative comments if old habits persist. In the end, I hope there's enough room in our community to allow for different voices to express themselves without the unnecessary vitriol.

glad he's back; snarky happens; as a matter of fact, before the frontal lobe was removed, I was the king of snark.

Years ago, I used to be accused of posting unnecessary shit. Imagine: starting a thread to stimulate discussion on a discussion board.

I didn't even notice alocispepraluger102 was missing.

It always takes two before anything goes out of hand - I always try to remember this before posting about something I dislike ...

[JohnS]

Just realised a day or two ago that Aloc hadn't posted for a while so a welcome post. Glad you are okay and good to have you back Aloc

An aggressive herd will also do on the internet.

[johnblitweiler]

Aloc, I hope you weren't covered in snow and ice there in Ohio.

[skeith]

Aloc is a great guy in my book.... did me a very kind favor a few years back.

[PHILLYQ]

Aloc is OK by me. It took me awhile to realize the clever name!

[Scott Dolan]

I've always wondered what his username meant...

[jazzbo]

Read it backwards.

Hahahaha..., thanks. That IS pretty clever.

And quite the tongue twister forwards. I remember the first time I saw it I sat there for a minute or two trying to figure out how to pronounce it.

[Chuck Nessa]

Back in the day his avatar was a reversed image of a neon reproduction of a bottle cap.

[JSngry]

And his full user name was alocispepraluger.

[Teasing the Korean]

Bumping this thread.  Anyone talk to alocispepraluger102 lately?  I see he has not visited since 2014. 

[paul secor]

I miss him and wish he'd return, but sometimes people just move on to other things and other places.

Same here.

[Chuck Nessa]

He posts regularly on FB.

[T.D.]

He used to have a blog iirc. Might be able to find the URL by looking up old posts.

I agree with the first part, but he didn't just move on. That's the part that irritates me. 

[AllenLowe]

he did leave, as I recall, because a few people (for reasons I will never understand) objected to his threads.  Jerry is a great guy and posts on Facebook.

[Scott Dolan]

People essentially accused him of flooding. 

Yeah, he posted a lot of threads. So? As far as I know there is no limit on how many threads one can post. 

He posted things that he found interesting. What the hell is wring with that?!
