Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Piano Forum SOCK PUPPET ALERT: Essex, Yamaha, Charles Walter

Always the rational one - turandot.

Just turn the other cheek ..

Perhaps I'm pushing it a bit but sure makes posts like this seem suspicious when it's one of the first posts made by L1037

I guess this is what people will think when someone gets caught, faking it.

Hey, I thought that one was bogus the moment I saw it. Could always be wrong, of course, but so many of them had red flags waving in the wind.

I hadn't seen it, but I agree when I see it now. The OP's first (or nearly the first) post and Pianomadam all over in the subsequent responses... :rolleyes:

I agree with all that you've said here, Mike; pianomadam's not-so-great credibility to begin with is now essentially zip. But I still think she should be banned, or perhaps put in Frank's infamous time-out chair for a nice long spell, simply to reinforce the message that this kind of trickery is unacceptable at PW. To have no sanction at all is tantamount to saying "anything goes, as long as you apologize if you get caught."

I'm sure there are some Steinway execs reading this thread. I'd love to be a fly on the wall during their discussions about it.

Now this is the Pianoworld I remember

I remember when Pianomadam first posted as JordanKittsGuy

It didn't take long for Him (Her?) to realize that this was not a good way to remain anonymous and all of his posts were quickly deleted. Since then this person has posted using many different sockpuppets.

PS - Hi everyone, have you missed me?

there would be quite a few banned posters if everyone who has fished under a pseudonym was outed.

Well then, let's get to it.

C'mon, Monica makes a good point.

i don't know.. there seems to be quite a few pianodads out there.

Good to see you back, honky!

Ooooh, if I used a sock I would be much more inventive than that!

Another consequence of this thread (btw - Hey Honky!) is that from here forth almost all Essex threads will be read with a great deal of scepticism.
How will Essex pianos or posters be portrayed, supported or defended?
Jman, suppose he was one of pianomadams incarnations? There are a few others on board right now hard pushing Boston and Essex. What is their credibility?
In fact, look at the first three posts on this thread! It's possible that we have a "multiple personality disorder" on our hands.

There is a stain here that will not wash out simply.


Edit; Sorry Jonathan Hunt, it appears you are ligit.

Ken Knapp,

Can you check L1037 IP address and compare it to pianomadam and her socks?

I've been wondering this all along. jman37 and L1037 making similar threads to compare Essex with competitors and Boston with Kawai and Yamaha while trashing the competition. Then Pianomadam tag teaming with them.

I am not on a witch hunt paulmarcus.
I did not mean to offend.
You should feel free to speak.

Only one appropriate response for these shenanigans...from He Who Must Not Be Named:
Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Then ban them.

I'm not big on socks, never have been. Some are ok if they're funny, but this is not a general chat type forum...people are spending hard-earned money on the things they read here.

We may not always be right in our opinions, but let them be honest ones.
