No Personal Attacks, ALLOWED

[1968 Tet Vet]

Here is what is posted on military.com, "Disability Compensation Forum"... upfront, as the primary RULE:

"No personal attacks of any nature upon any member for any reason."

I am starting to wonder who monitors this webboard forum to insure this principle is being followed, or not... and, who is enforcing such a rule.... and..... ???

Hmmmmm ???

[TinCanMan]

I seem to remember a couple of other webmasters giving you the boot for being a disruptive influence. Now you come here and do the same thing.

One of them even said: "I find hardly any of your posts helpful." ...and then deleted your account and all your posts. Hmmmn... I can't imagine why.

[Slapyo]

I run the forums but can't read every single post so I rely on members to let me know if they think they see something that is out of line.

Now boys, let's stop throwing sand in the sandbox.

[CEDAR FALLS]

Comon there is nothing like a good drag out bare knuckles fist fight between vets Slapyo and Knewheart I could have made a bunch of money selling tickets

[nurseflo]

I haven't seen any thing that I would count as attacks on any one.I have only the utmost respect for the guys on here and consider them my friends.I only see gentlemen sometimes with sick sense of humors LOL,but always well behaved.

There are vets(and i know a few) that need to vent and dont need to be critizised and derated by you tcm. You are the most opinionated old man ive ever read. Im sorry for your life and how you see it, but it can be turned around , by either yourself or a companion ( woman)? DONT turn every comment by a vet into a confrontation! BYE

Mike,

I would have to disagree with your statement above. TinCanMan doesn't "derate" anybody. He gives solid answers to the questions posed. The problem is when someone asks a question, many times they don't like the answer they receive and get pissed because it wasn't what they wanted to hear.

Our jobs on these forums should be to give the most accuarte answers to help veterans understand why VA has done what they did and help them navigate the VA claims process. Most of the time when someone rants about VA and what they decided or did was simply them not understanding the VA process. And in some instances it's the veteran not wanting to understand why the VA does the things they do. They are simply hell bent on the notion VA is intentionally out to screw the veteran at every turn when this simply isn't the case. Does VA make mistakes, Damn right they do and I've seen some pretty wild ones myself over the years. However, it isn't any thing intentional. The VA claims process is not adversarial contrary to what many veterans think.

1968 has already been bounce from two other message boards because of his nature. He'll ask a question, then answer it in the same post or thread after he has involked other rmembers into a heated discussion. Or he'll ask a question, but gets an answer he doesn't like and continue to disagree with that answer until hell freezes over contrary to the facts posted by other members. He'll also continue to ask the SAME questions over and over fishing for an answer he likes while taking time away from other veterans that need assistance. For example, go to Military.com and see for yourself. His Screen name is "RVN1968," or you can go over to the VBN. I think his old post from last year are still there. Hadit completely deleted ALL of his posts and his screen name because of the stunts he's pulled. He'll also post advice as facts and then turn around and ask a question as to the skinny of his prior reply. It doesn't get much more disruptive than that!

I have no problem with that as long as you don't unfairly use the Veterans Administration as your whipping boy.

You are the most opinionated old man ive ever read.

If you don't want to hear the answer, don't ask the question.

Im sorry for your life and how you see it, but it can be turned around , by either yourself or a companion ( woman)?

My life is just fine. You'll notice "I" don't seem to complain about it. OTOH, you have problems with it. So sorry, get over it.

DONT turn every comment by a vet into a confrontation! BYE

The only folks holding that opinion seem to be VA bashers and what are known as difficult people.

[1968 Tet Vet]

At least there is someone here that will tell the truth.

Enough said on this subject.

[TinCanMan]

I think Vike just did.

[1968 Tet Vet]

TinCanMan: You and Slapyo..... need to understand, now, that your attitude and Troll-like attitude and obstructive intervention on this webbord (forum) is detrimental to its (this forum's) success. It is PERFECTLY obvious.... that YOU, TinCanMan.... is the SOLE reason for its failure. Look at the participation numbers... its OBVIOUS.

SLAPYO: Pls show some leadership on this PROBLEM.... and fix it.

[TinCanMan]

Pls show some leadership on this PROBLEM.... and fix it.

Gee, that's exactly what you told TBird just before she terminated your account for the second time. You're running true to form. If nothing else, you are certainly consistant.

[TinCanMan]

Most of the following quotes are by Administrators or Moderators. "Pop" is an owner operator as is TBird. both of them have terminated your account/s.

Are all of these people lying or do they have you pegged as someone who's sole purpose is to set up a strawman for the purposes of debate? Are all these folks prosecuting a personal attack against you? We know who you are and it appears you are a problem child.

You use a variety of usernames and shifting IP addresses. Among them are 1968Army, 1968 Army VV, RVNArmy, and 1968 Nam Vet.

I have a URL to each and every one of these direct quotes and I have a lot more. At the moment I'm too lazy to enumerate each and every one.

TBird said: "1968 Nam Vet I find hardly any of your posts helpful."

Witchdoctor said: "1968 Army VV -- I see you as a person that enjoys mass debating in public forums."

Herdgrunt said: "Army, you are trying very hard to rewrite the King's English"

Pop said: "I could be wrong here but in my opinion, 1968 Army is simply here to cause trouble. He doesnt ask stuff about claims to help him but to start a discussion. Then, once the discussion starts, he tries to use and says "gotcha".

To me, that is deceitful.

We are here to help other veterans that are filing a claim. This is not our job. This is not our life. This is something we do on the side as part of a way of giving something back.

Then we get someone about once every six months that selects an admin or mod and starts to go after them in a professional or personal way.

Although these exercises in talking about these "what ifs" are sometimes interesting, they are also an example of why the VA has to waste so much time. Can you imagine if 68 Army treats the VA this way. Every time he sends something in it causes a delay. Is this the VA's fault?"

Red1600 said: "Army:

You stated your position on this issue, then asked for comments. Five people gave you various reasons for the requirement.

Now you come back and restate your position almost verbatim. What is the point of this exercise? Please tell us"

nmfxstc said: "You've convinced me, Army...they are out to get you and have a full task force assigned and dedicated to doing just that"

Pop also said: "Army,

I have the same question.

This is about 5 or 6 questions that you comment on and then ask a question.

Then you see the comments and then you comment on it again, sometimes exactly what you posted before or having another angle on it.

I guess I dont understand the exercise.

It almost seems like you are asking questions and you already know the answer to the question.

Is there something I am missing? Are we a part of a research project or being inspected by the VA or being looked into by you and some other organizations?

What we do if you are not aware is try and help veterans file a well grounded claim to the VARO the first time around so as to receive the proper rating based on their claim. We are all veterans and provide our opinions based on our experiences. Some people have experiences that are more in depth but we try to help each other.

We do so without playing games with each other or by deceiving others in what we do.

I hope that that is not what is happening here."

The only thing that you provide is wasting bandwidth"

REMINDER, TinCan, pls:

"No personal attacks of any nature upon any member for any reason."

[TinCanMan]

How old are you, 12?

[nurseflo]

Okay TCM I just about wet my pants with the last post with Uncle Sam.Keep up your good work!!!

[TinCanMan]

I just about wet my pants with the last post

He, he ;-)

[1968 Tet Vet]

Let the TRUTH be known. TCM has BIG mental problems, obviously. He needs to file a VA claim for INSANITY.... maybe, the problem started in the military. I feel sorry for him. Anyone like him needs our sympathy.

TCM: do you know why Mike Brown wrote, "BYE" (see below) ? Thats because he no longer wants to participate on this webboard (forum) because of YOU, a troll-like monster that belittles other Vets. So, Mike says good bye, like many other Vets that you have driven away. Thats obvious as to the extremely low participation numbers on this webboard. Its too bad. This webboard's Moderator will not show some leadership and put TCM in his rightful place. Only this webboard and other Vets are suffering because of TCM. Sad. There has been a total of 56 topic posts on this webboard from start, 2004, to present. We all know why there is so little participation.

Now, we know the TRUTH.

Based on observation of your behavior on this and other veteran’s websites it appears your sole purpose here is to setup a strawman for the purpose of debate and to generate conflict. I won't engage you on that level for any reason.

Your understanding of veteran’s claims issues is appallingly abysmal. You don't know and won't listen to those that do. You appear to have totally mis-managed your own claim because you simply failed to understand the process.

The owner/operators of two veteran’s forums have deleted your accounts. In one case, they were forced to do this twice when you shifted nym's and IP addresses to deceive the operator.

Anyone following your advice will place his own claim at risk.
