Quite a while back, I pointed out that there was a guy named Paul out there who was mad enough at the RunRyder Admin that he actually put up a sort of anti-RRAdmin web site. It had seemed at the time that perhaps the RRAdmin had steped aside or had reformed, or rethought his board management practices, as several months had passed by without public incident. A few pinkings here and there but nothing worth writing up. And then all of a sudden….whammo!
On the morning of May 3rd, a WANTED poster appeared at the bottom of the left hand advertising chicklet column, otherwise known as the RC MarketPlace:
The Paul Macha WANTED poster.
Clicking thru on the poster, you were delivered to a thread titled “Enough is enough and death threat aside…” which started off with:
“$500 reward to the first person who can provide enough personal information to shut down Paul Macha’s harassment and trespassing on RR. The reward and the information source will remain private. What I am mainly looking for is employment history, current and past. Two years of harassment is enough. I will fight this until something breaks. I am dead serious.”
At the time of this writing, the thread in now 43 pages long and is an amazing document and testament to how exactly NOT to run a public discussion board. I was careful to save each page at the end of the day to preserve the content and I will be analyzing the thread from various perspectives in the days to come.
