"I would not rely on the Forum local Barristers here if I was you, as found in the UK, IPS numbers can be traced, as you will find happened with Gloria on dredded ned and a few well respected People in Pattaya a few years ago, who was sued to have to pay a substantial damages I will not give away here."

As a veteran of many posting wars, I have seen this Gloria thing grow into epic proportions, which for reasons which defy reason, people still talk about it in hushed tones as if some state secrets were involved.

One poster in particular seems to think that evoking the words Gloria and Dreaded Ned will somehow scare everyone into hiding from the big bad wolf.

Does anyone know the definitive story of just what happened with Gloria and the Wolf , without naming actual names ?

This is going back a number of years, so I may have some of this wrong, but the way I remember it is that "Gloria" was posting quite a number of attack posts directed at a gay business in Pattaya on a web site that was permitting it. The business finally had enough of it and took steps to track down "Gloria." I never knew just how "Gloria" was tracked down, but the way I recall it is that he was caught red-handed at a computer terminal in the middle of writing yet another attack post. Again, the way I recall it, "Gloria" turned out to be an owner of a rather well known gay business in Bangkok. An apology was accepted by the Pattaya business, along with a promise not to ever post any such messages again. No lawsuit was filed.

As I said, it's been a long time and I may be wrong in some aspects of how I remember it, but if I am wrong, I'm sure someone will post corrections.

Excusez moi, but it sounds like Ear Wig and Gaybutton are talking about two very different stories:

Ear Wig:

"...you will find happened with Gloria on dredded ned and a few well respected People in Pattaya a few years ago, who was sued to have to pay a substantial damages I will not give away here."

Gaybutton:

"An apology was accepted by the Pattaya business, along with a promise not to ever post any such messages again. No lawsuit was filed. "

Yes I wont name your right?

No I wont call your wrong either ?

How about: take me to your leader.

Hehehe......

I don't know about anyone else, but I am curious as to why Ear Wig and GB have such differing impressions of what really happened in that Gloria episode on the old Dreaded Ned board.

I find the part about someone using someone else's name especially confusing. Does Ear Wig claim to have been personally involved, while GB has only heard the story second-hand ?

What puzzles me most is that Ear Wig seems to relish reporting the gory inside details and gossip on everything, but on this matter he's as tight as a clam. Why ?

My version of the story came directly from the owner of the business that was being victimized. But, as I said, I may be remembering some it it wrong. If there was a lawsuit involved, then as far as I know it did not come from the business that was involved.

Ah yes. I remember it well . . . .

...a lot of water has gone under the bridge and best left like that

That's funny.... coming from the guy who can't resist blabbing about it every time he decides it's time to threaten someone.

Hehehe....

Shall we say Gaybutton you have made time kind to the incident, and as far as Im concerned this is how it should stay it was a long time ago, a lot of water has gone under the bridge and best left like that

If this was a poker game, you might say that old ear Wig just folded.

My understanding is exactly the same as Gaybutton's. There was no law suit and no money exchanged. No posters were defamed.

It was one guy who kept posting malicious stuff about a business which was specifically named and who was traced to an internet shop.

It had absolutely nothing to do with anonymous posters trading insults in a board catfight and threatening to sue.

Maybe there are 2 Glorias.

Or three ear wigs, four LMTU's . . . and a partridge in a pear tree.

Hehehe....

"The Katzenjammer Kids!"..A bit before my time--where they fun ?

That's what they all say, "Before my time." What time is your time? Uranus annus time?
Where they fun? All over! The Katzies are still around, have been going almost 110 years. You might enjoy this link: (scroll down to see the naughty boys getting spanked!)

Which reminds me; Sir Edward Ford, who provided Queen Elizabeth II with the memorable phrase "annus horribilis" to describe her 'troubles' in 1992, passed away, 19 November, in London.
'How is this pertinent to Gloria and everyone being Gloria?' you might ask. Glorianus Horribilis Has a fitting 'ring' to it, doesn't it?
