Meanwhile, just you may want tp visit his profile, hit the tab "contact info" and send him a mail.

From his intermittent posts it appears that he slowly lost interest in PF. Happens more often I guess. But he still has 10 more posts to go for 20 x pi.

It makes no sense to be making jokes bout being a Farrah Fawcett poster though. Sorry.
If you were a guy who was sentient in the 1970's, the Farrah Fawcett poster reference is hilarious. Once again, DaveC has lived up to his billing as PF Funniest Member.

What do you mean by +, and what do you mean by =?

Let us review.

When you write something in a thread, and hit the "reply" button. That is called a post. You made a post that contained a youtube channel. Therefore, following logic, you are the channel poster and tribdog is the link of the youtube user channel you posted

Got it?

It is technically a link. He hit the "reply" button and posted a link. When one clicks on the link, one is then taken to a channel, which exists in another domain. You are choosing to call the link a channel, when it is clearly a link to a channel.

So if we want to be extremely precise, he posted a link to a YouTube channel. A YouTube channel is the page that is viewed only once a link has been followed. So a link and a channel are not the same thing, otherwise when one sees a link, one sees exactly what one would see in the channel.

Just to be mischievous, if one were to post a comment in tribdog's channel, would one then not be considered a channel poster? As in, one who posts in a channel?

They are called User channels. Not Poster channels. That was my main point.

Sorry about the on-topic post, but did anyone else notice he hasn't signed on to youtube for 9 months?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. I think he is an imposter.

I AM NOT TRIBDOG. never have, never will be.
I simply offered a link for the OP to perhaps get reconnected.

Hello !

I don't trust your judgment on this one, I will need to see his social security number to be sure.

Hello !

We accept you for who you are, Tribdog or not (most likely Tribdog).

This isn't funny, tribdog may be in prison or dead. He had an "unusual" life.

I think he's in prison. Probably parole violation.

Well, apparently, I'm resurrected as tribdog to some people.
Can't imagine why. Way too bizarre for me.

Must admit though, this thread is seriously funny.

Yes, I feel bad for the OP.
 
  • #70
Wait, we are supposed to feel bad for someone who is in prison?

He's a long time member...lives an unconventional life. He's made some great posts. But I think many of his posts had to be removed immediately :redface:...he keeps the mentors very busy, when he comes around.
 
  • #72
Now I'm actually interested in this tribdog guy.

Why do his posts usually get taken down?

Is he a gypsy or something?

Well, the mentors would know more than I do about that. I'm guessing a lot of them had profanity.

I really don't know details about him.

Not exactly. Profanity is generally filtered. I think it was the subjects of the threads and posts. I saw a number of his posts that were later taken down. The ones I remember in particular were ones where he made fun of various mentors apparently because they had deleted one or more threads/posts of his.

At the time, tribdog was trying to avoid a prison sentence, and I believe that thanks to the intervention of some pf staff it was reduced to parole.

It could be that his parole was revoked, I don't know.

He led a dangerous life.

I hope he's ok.

Last time I read this thread, he was burning his girlfriend carpet, raising a dog, eating bad cheap food, painting his door in the place he rented, and trying to translate from Spanish. Really funny guy I believe. He comes and goes I would say about every 8 months if not more...

I hope that he is ok too. I did not know him well but he was fun.

He is not. Whatever you may try, tribdog was specific enough to be hard to counterfeit.

Thanks, Borek.
How someone could not CLEARLY see this from the beginning I have no idea. I think I posted that one night this bizarre assumed association made my laugh so hard and long that my wife actually tossed me out of the house till I settled down. That's a true story.

Is it cold out side now, pallidin? :devil:

I went to my parked car in our driveway.
My laughing could not stop and someone(a neighbor I guess) called the police.

I tried to explain, but they didn't think it was funny, apparently.
Thank God, I did not have any keys on me(I had drank a few beers INSIDE our house) and was on my own property. Anyway, they kept looking at me really strange, like I was on drugs or something, because I could not stop laughing.
Even when they asked my name, I burst out laughing.

Anyway, all went well. I was not charged with anything.
 
  • #96
So, let me get this straight. You got kicked out of the house because you burnt a hole in your carpet?

:smile: It must be tribdog then :biggrin::smile:

Hmm, that behavior is suspiciously tribdog-like. I'm just saying.

Now I am beginning to be suspicious as well.

No, I got kicked-out because your and other comments gave me a "spaz-attack" or whatever it's called.
If they would have arrested me, would I have cared? Not really!
I must admit it was quite fun(except for the police) I had never laughed that much in my life.

Be advised, Mr. MotoH, payback is a b***h !
