Discussion in 'Windows XP' started by Sonny Wortzik, May 4, 2009.

  1. With your inexperience and lack of knowledge you should not be posting on
    topics you know nothing about. The only official Microsoft MVP website is
    http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ any other one including www.mvps.org is
    not so get your facts right before you come here spreading lies.

  6. I posted for years without letting anyone know I was an MVP because I posted
    as pcbutts1. I started using my MVP status because of the few Troll MVP's
    who's head started to swell up in these groups(PA Bear) and MS does nothing
    about it.

    Now look, you've gone and caught something nasty. It was only a matter of
    time before a thread with "MVP" in the title was bound to attract the source
    of all the misery...

    Complete nonsense! Microsoft has confirmed to many of us that you are
    not an MVP, and if you were, they could tell us. Moreover, if you were
    an MVP, you would be able to, and would, give us some proof. Despite
    all the requests for proof you've been asked for, you have
    consistently refused to provide any of us with a shred of evidence
    that you are an MVP.

    The result is very clear to all of us here. Despite your inability to
    fool anybody, you continue to try to fool everybody and are not an
    MVP.

    If you disagree with me, by all means prove that I am wrong. Give us
    some evidence that you are an MVP. For example, tell us in what
    technical area you are an MVP and tell us the name of your lead.

    So, for example, I'm a Windows Desktop Experience MVP. Are you also a
    Windows Desktop Experience MVP? If so, who is your lead? If not, tell
    us what your technical area is, and who your lead is.

    If you have no issues with being "Identified" then why not post your
    home address, your phone number, and possibly your other personal
    information?

    Most of us have a Usenet Identity, it's almost always a long history and
    can be tracked and followed, even validated by headers and other such
    things. There is no reason to attach a face to any part of the Usenet
    identity as it doesn't make it any more or less valid.

    Suggesting that a "real" name or some other personal trait makes a
    user/post more valid is a sign of talking to a person that has never
    worked with security in any capacity.

    Wrong, real MVP's don't act like you do, don't impersonate other MVP's,
    don't create pornographic filth and then post links to it in MS groups
    and other groups....

    You mean your record for pirating others tools and then editing the
    credits so that they "appear" to be yours, have a great record and can't
    be touched - why is it that markers inserted in the tools you copy
    MONTHS before show up in your tools where they were not before?

  18. MS has confirmed that nobody by the name of pcbutts1, Chris butts, or the
    real truth is an MVP. Give them my real name and they still won't tell you
    because they respect my privacy. You all blew it with all the inquires into
    me and the made up name you have given me that MS will not disclose it to
    anyone.

    Prove it or SHUT UP! It's easy to prove without divulging your name or
    private information.

    Some time ago a "real" MVP told us that if you logon to the private
    Microsoft MVP support site and make a post to the group via the web
    interface that an MVP logo would appear by your name on your post. Not many
    MVPs use the web interface but we see the MVP logo from the few that do post
    via the web. Surely if you are an MVP you should be able to figure out how
    to logon to the private site and make a post via the web interface. Just
    post a reply to this post and be done with it!

    You could put this to rest in less than two minutes and be done with it once
    and for all, others would have no choice but to stop challenging you! For
    once you could tell others to SHUT UP and be smug at the same time. But I
    doubt that you will do this because you simply crave attention so you like
    the fuss others make about your use of the MVP title... and of course you
    aren't a real MVP so you cannot logon to the private MVP site to make the
    simple little post. So just STFU!

    Once again, you have ignored the request for information to prove what
    you say you are. I'll repeat my requests quoted below:

    "If you disagree with me, by all means prove that I am wrong. Give us
    some evidence that you are an MVP. For example, tell us in what
    technical area you are an MVP and tell us the name of your lead."

    "So, for example, I'm a Windows Desktop Experience MVP. Are you also a
    Windows Desktop Experience MVP? If so, who is your lead? If not, tell
    us what your technical area is, and who your lead is."

    If you are not willing to provide the asked-for information, it's just
    another example of your fakery. You are clearly *not* an MVP if you
    refuse to provide any evidence at all that you are.
