In reply to: Upstate Ram 's message, "I disagree. One of the prerogatives of the Internet (which is why boards like this use handles rather than real names) is that you can protect your privacy if you wish. Personally, I don't care who Rambacker is or isn't. I just look forward to the information he presents here. If he wants to remain anonymous, that's his choice. He doesn't owe it to anybody to say who he is, where he is from, or where he might be going to on business today or tomorrow. I actually think he's having his fun watching some of the people on this board hop all over themselves trying to "unmask" him. I am interested instead in what DW and his staff are doing to build a winner here. That's why I check out this board." on Fri April 22, 2005 19:46:48

But aren't the people who are criticizing him for doing this also berating him for simply quoting information that is publicly available on recruiting websites? It seems his critics are trying to have it both ways, i.e. he is wrong for a) anonymously reporting "secret information" the staff doesn't want revealed, and b) he is rehashing information that is available to one and all on the Internet. I guess his critics want him to a) reveal who he really is, and b) stop talking? This is ridiculous. (NT) -- Upstate Ram, Sat April 23, 2005 13:32:25
- No he claims he has his own personal, independent recruiting source. The guy is a tool. (NT) -- RicksASlob, Sat April 23, 2005 17:28:33
- If the information is available on recruiting sites, then he should cite his sources when he posts the information. Instead, he claims that they come from his personal sources. (NT) -- Ramfan, Sat April 23, 2005 19:33:28
  - ramfan - you come across as bitter, jealous and obsessed with me. If I were you, if you want to achieve any credibility at all, I'd try my best to post valuable and interesting information on this board. So far, that hasn't happened and you come across as a sad figure who is obsessed with an anonymous poster. By the way, it's very transparent that you post here under different "names".

    - Oh, really? Why don't you obtain the IP addresses and prove it? I'd be happy to give JoDete permission to give out my IP address, if he were willing to settle this. Don't flatter yourself, guy- I really could care less what you do on these boards. If you want to pretend you're the "all-knowing source" for Fordham basketball information by posting every "breaking" news story from a media outlet, by all means, be my guest. But please, don't imply that I would have an obsession with a petty, insecure old man like yourself. I've got better things to do with my time. Again, please check the IP addresses.

      - That's not even a good try at keeping your cover. Elementary schools kids know that IP addresses mean nothing on message boards. You merely move between several computers and post on each. The consistent and very recognizable use of weak language gives you away. You are obsessed, and that's obvious just from the posts you make using ramfan. Admit it, it's pathetic. You should move on, you need to get a life. (NT) -- Rambacker, Mon April 25, 2005 20:11:26
