Really huh 3 people saying it is not his real name

Don't be late Pedro said:
What happens if someone uses their real name for their username. Would you get banned for referring to their username then?

Cyivel said:
My name is Tom, if anybody calls me this I'd like them banned.

How will i call you? i cant call you pete and now that you are going to report if i call you fleur. I hope i can still call jojo.

Aw, sheesh, guys, I know you expect me to be everything to everybody, and you're just showing your mod love, but don't ya think you're asking a bit much here? Don't ya think it might be easier if ya cued ME in that it wasn't a personal name? Nothing in what was said gave me a single clue. Pete could be a female. I know plenty of female Sams. And a boy named Sue. Not to mention Pete could be a guy who doesn't mind also going by the nick LeFleur - like maybe Pete LePew? Wait a sec, my spelling mistake, that was Pepe.

Go ahead, slam on! Remember, I have to call it the way I see it. Oh - and if it is: a) revealed by the user, or b) common knowledge, it is generally ok. For instance, we know that JV comes around, doesn't hurt anything to say Johnny, except I don't think he likes that nick, or back in the day it was Jobst and Sheldon - both posted under their reals. And they had philosophical issues with nicks, and users of nicks. I think John Allen also used his real. If a lesser known user, like DBL Pedro, or Cyivel? Were to let slip his real in a single post - and somebody else used it in a possibly hostile manner? As a mod I would take that very badly.

Just like hitch called L'Arriviste Larry - which seemed to me a shorthand nick for L'Arriviste - and other posters said the same. If somebody had legitimately said - "oh deary me, that is his real name!"? Those posts would have disappeared. Note I said legitimately, because I KNOW one or more of you jokers is now gonna think of making a post saying "oh deary me, larry is his real name!" Tell me I'm wrong, and that you aren't that predictable! :D

Cheers, All.

Hiero2 I think you are confused. Let me explain it. LaFleur is someone we don't know. A CN forum member, but we don't know her (I guess) real name. My real name is Fleur, french for flower, and flower is flor in spanish. Florecita would be "little flower, small flower". I guess there is some confusion when in a debate about LaFleur and LaFlorecita people refer to me as "Fleur".

Anyway Pete is my nickname, given to me by BYOP88, who used to refer to me as "Peter la Fleur", an actor I believe, "Pete" in short. So LaFleur isn't Pete, I am Pete :D

People used to think ACF was a child but he is definitely not female :D

I know where the Carol thing comes from (although I dare not mention where ;)) but it would explain his love of Maggie T!

iirc carol comes from when some ozzie psudo journalist did a list of 50 greatest sportsmen of 2011 and Cadel Evans was only 11th and Philipe Gilbert was not on the list.

ACF found this very upsetting (ironically more Gilbert because Gilbert was about to join BMC) so posted the list on here and announced he was going to go on some chat the website advertised at 11am Ozzie time to heckle the "journo" for not making Evans and GIlbert 1-2.

I went on the chat he linked and saw 50 mma fans heckling the journo for not putting some ufc fighters on the list, and 1 guy moaning about Gilbert not being on the list

The journo dismissed every suggestion as "yes i agree he is also good" whether he recognized the name or not, so the one guy got ****ed and continued at which point the journo told him to shut up.

Then that guy disappeard and a minute later a new user called Carol took up the fight for the honour of Gilbert and Evans and continued attacking the journo for not having phil on the list.

So afterwards I told ACF on here in some thread - your name is Carol isnt it, and he pmd me saying that Carol was just a name he used cos he didnt want to use his own name. Then on vlr when they were asking peoples names i joked that ACF was carol and he denied furiously so as a joke others started calling him carol.


Whats your version;)

Well, ok then! We got that sorted! La Florecita (and I knew the literal translations, but thank you, n e vay)=Pete, and LaFleur is somebody else.

Now, you want me to undelete Zam's mssg, since y'all have gone to all this effort to make sure I'm up to date? Now that it is explained, it IS quite harmless, but like I said, I have to call 'em the way I see 'em. If the instant replay comes back looking different, I can update my call.

Ah, I see I didn't know the whole story only the vlr part, this is a much better version than the one I had in mind originally.

The mods are Marcellus Wallace :cool:

Heh. That would be ok - but I'd rather be
Harry Callahan, or better, Nathan Algren, or even better, we could be Kambei, Kikuchiyo, Katsushiro, Gorobei, Heihachi, Shichiroji, and Kyuzo. After all, we exist as a community.

I'm Christian, everyone can call me that.

@Florecita: what about "bloemetje"?

also re: advertising. I know that it is not a for-profit site that is being advertised. But I think most everyone knows about this breakaway league. If people didn't join until now, they probably have their reasons. Maybe they will join some time in the future, maybe they won't. But please stop trying to convert people.

Hugh Januss sent me a DM on Velorooms. Apparently he didn't need any converting because he already joined in Jan 2012.

I agree. It’s not advertising as defined by the TOC but more subtle. And talking repeatedly about another forum while bashing this one is silly. I do not care for the preaching. This forum has enough problems without that going on. :D

I also want the people who call me Fleur to get banned, starting with airstream and cineteq

Seems like a legit statement to me. Ebandit was banned for a session for the same thing.
