See ? LOL

Patrick
He/she just loves his/her childish behavior. Sorry....

Let's be honest. I have a bunch of trips on deck right now so I AM spending a bunch of time on Fodors.

Why do you give a rip how much time anyone spends on Fodors?

If it bothers you so much, why are YOU spending so much time on Fodors?

Patrick,

Thanks for sharing this information and making us all aware of potential problems/security breaches within the Fodor's website. I have just changed my password as well.

By the way, notice how "TravelFirst" has suddenly changed to "TravelsFirst"? Perhaps we aren't the only ones who are tiring of the smarmy, condescending attitude of this "cyberjerk". Perhaps the editors at Fodor's put an end to the name of TravelFirst, as there are no longer any postings associated with "it".

AL ((d))

AL, unfortunately TravelLast unregisters himself each day. If he feels like it he re-registers the next day with the same name, or maybe a new name. He uses a govt owned computer and so we won't hear from him anymore today because he's done his shift. Never ever posts after 5 pm. What I don't understand is why Fodor's allows him to re-register from the same computer repeatedly. (And to think, it's our tax dollars paying this guy to sit at his computer!)

Just curious how it's known that this person uses a govt. owned computer??

He works for a government agency..well, let's not use the word <i>work</i>...let's just say he plays on his computer all day in a government office..

You can see he has gone home for the day - un-registered his name..

This guy has been posting here for years, and to my knowledge has never made a valuable post. At one point someone &quot;outed&quot; him at his office, I think, because he had actually given his email address and someone tracked him down. I think that was in his Leone days. I can't keep up with these episodes, but in any case, he's just an obnoxious guy who rants a lot, and also makes up travel stories as if he's giving first hand advice, when he isn't. Recently under some other name, I forget which, he did a bunch of posts about going to Wales and Scotland (he seemed to think from some of his posts that they were either the same place, or adjacent to each other) and travel my the Queen Mary 2. Then he slipped and did other posts indicating that he'd be in Paris at the same time he said he'd be somewhere else. He has a difficult time keeping all his stories straight, but I suppose that's true of most psychopathic liars.

Congratulations, Patrick. You get the award for starting the most provocative thread of the year!

He is that and more Patrick, and it frightens me that I was completely hoodwinked for so long--trusted him, counted him as a friend, and defended his occasional strange outbursts. What was an occasional occurrence with outlandish posts is now constant. At best he's a pathological liar, but I suspect it's way beyond that.

You are right to be concerned about what happened here with your password...the 2nd (that we know of) incident recently of someone wanting to take another's good name and misusing it. Frankly...I wouldn't put it past him, seeing as you are now also on his you-know-what list because you disagreed with him a few weeks ago on some issue. You know of course, that is not tolerated! :) Interestingly, in fact, he claimed <i>this same thing</i> happened to him in fact, people taking his name and writing something under it (pre-registratgion.) Hmmm

Are y'all sure it isn't a she? Reason being there was this female that worked for the state of New Jersey out Trenton that got busted for doing the same thing.

No GT, it's a he. Some of us have even met him.

OO, I'm so glad you posted that. I thought I remembered you defending him, when he was using Leone?, and I thought I must just have thinner skin than I thought. I must be almost normal after all!

You guys got waaaaaaaaaaay too much time on your hands. IMO life is too short to waste time on this bs. In the words of my fav-o-rite band, &quot;All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit. Get over it&quot;.

I think that some of you should not post in response to a troll. I see the same posters doing it over and over again. You are giving the troll the fix they need. Ignore the urge to post. If you all stopped responding, they may go to another forum. Simply write fodors
and tell them how disruptive they are.

I think if you are on vacation you don't get such an e-mail (I am baaack :)

Patrick, it's a hint: time for the next one ;)
