Exposed? I was always open with regard to my past. For example, my second ever post here at VGChartz (January 2007) states:

"I have been a moderator for more than 5 years at various popular portals, including OSNews.com. Moderating zealous fanboys can be a huge task and usually will make you more enemies than friends, I think for those interested should realize and ask themselves the following: Are you able to moderate people and blackout your own bias and is your skin thick enough?"

After that MorphOS preview, trolling by MorphOS backers against AmigaOS4 stories went through the roof on OSNews (other editors, not involved with the Amiga community fully agreed as well). At Amigaworld, various Moobunny regulars just signed up to troll, posting mass viagra ads, pictures of a gay person bending over...., threatening people, etc, this often after interviews with the people behind the development of AmigaOS4 or other such exclusive content. It was quite a task to keep the place clean and enjoyable.

So Mike lets get this straight, is it your contention that Neogaf is run by MorphOS backers and thats how you got banned there?  If thats true, why did they allow you to post there at all?  It would seem like quite the elaborate and labor intensive scheme for them to create a game console discussion site, hope you'd go there, let you post for some time, and then ban you.  (And to boot, keep it running after all that).  I'm betting that none of them likely know what MorphOS even is!

And if you were such a hero to Amigaworld.net why did you ever get a temp ban there (rhetorical question, it was for clearly breaking TOS by questioning moderation in public rather than private messages, its all documented in that thread) and why, since its still a very pro AmigaOS board do multiple mods there have to constantly set you straight in public there, even recently?  Clearly, they are not agents of Genesi or MorphOS.

And how does any of this tie in to getting called out here by multiple folks that have been here for quite a while, the kind kind of folks with the experience here of 8,000+ posts?  Again, folks who probably never heard of MorphOS.
