It appears you have nothing to say and are intent on provoking other users. Almost every one of your posts has been calculated to provoke or inflame, the classic definition of an internet troll.

You were already sent a warning regarding your conduct, consider this the final warning.

If you continue to troll these forums you will be banned.

I will reiterate, again, differing views are welcome, trolling is not.

Jim.

I'm no troll, just an investor who is happy making asubstantial amount of money from Phorm shares.

Trying to categorise me as a troll and give yourself an excuse to ban a dissenting viewpoint is rather a weak thing to do.

I have repeatedly stated that differing views are welcome, however your method of stating those views has been calculated to inflame and provoke other users of these forums, something which I will not permit.

If you wish to continue this discussion (as it's off topic for ALL forums), please feel free to e-mail me directly.

Fair enough that your an investor in whichever company you wish, including Phorm. I myself personally have not seen a personal attack on yourself.

I like to have a constructive argument with anyone, but when it's not, and the subject is completly off topic, well thats just another matter.

And it's not fair that Jim has to keep on watching users to conform to the AUP. Jim has other concerns on his mind, just like I have, and some of these concerns are Phorms practices.

I am a intermediate programmer myself, and what Phorm's proposing, I see as an invasion of my own intellectual property. Once the IT industry actuall get the solid information from Phorm or another independant agency, then the true argument can be made. Will programmers such as myself actually be able to see Phorms systems, and circumvent them just to protect their own work?

I for one will now be going back through all my lines of code and applying a RIPA statement to each and every program, even at source level. And don't even try bringing to me the "But there are wost people out there" I.E. The hacking community, unless you would like to make a clear comparision of them and Phorm. But as I see it, code thiefs are code thiefs, illegal or legal. Putting this system in place will only fuel my effort in my fight to protect my applications and any users of them.

Yes, before you say it Jim, most of this post should be in the Security section ;)

I see that this site applies some principles for some posters, and some for others. Likening Kent Ertugrul to Ian Huntley is fine apparently. So basically, you can be as rude as you like as long as you're anti-Phorm ? With standards like that, this site will be ignored by the mass media and public, which it deserves.


Actually it does not. That post was brought to my attention this morning and has been removed as it contravines the site AUP.

Jim

My original post likening Kent Ertugrul to Ian Huntley was as a similie. I was not suggesting that Ian Huntley would ever try and monitor the browsing activities of ISP subscribers, nor that Kent Ertugrul would take children into a forest and murder them. My point was that Kent has a dubious past, directly related who the area he has now started a business in. The fact that I chose Ian Huntley as an example is simply because he had a lot of media attention and everybody knows who he is. How many people would have gotten the reference "... like putting Linus Torvalds in charge of Microsoft's Marketing division"? An obvious conflict of interest, and nothing more meant by it.
