[Off-topic] FoneJunkie:
It was really nice of you to point out the non-existent spelling and grammatical errors in my post. Do us all a favor and buy a fifth-grade English composition textbook and learn some basics - like the difference between when to use 'then' and 'than'. Consult your Canadian tax professional, as you could probably write the expense off on your taxes, given that you purport to be a communication professional. Try a little 'white space' for readability's sake, and try using that space bar thingy between words. It really would make your writing at least appear a bit more intelligent.

Let me state at the onset that I am NOT a rep for at&t or any other company, whether related to at&t, another wireless service or any other company. I don't work with you, nor do I live or work in the Halifax, NS area.

Now, when you respond to a customer's post on the forum, how is one to tell which of your stated positions on the issue is really yours? Is it the first one you state, the opposite (which you usually state second) or is it the response of the other forum member whose response you copy and restate? And I am certain that customers with true problems are deeply grateful for your 'colorized' macro postings. You flip-flop on some issues more than John Kerry and Hillary Clinton combined. But being a Canadian third party call center rep, I doubt you have the time or inclination to follow US politics - what with all of the forum surfing during your working hours.

Whether John_B/Optimus Prime is paid by Lithium or not is really not the issue. The issue is the conflict of interest between secretly being a user and a moderator on the same forum.

As for knowing what you do and when you do it, it's not that difficult to track the times of your posts and see that it leaves very little time for any real work. Look at the timestamps and then try to argue that you aren't on the forums on company time instead of being busy taking customer calls.

You say your skills are "among the top for the people that [you] work with", all I can say is wow, they must really be bad.

And I will concede that your paycheck is not signed by anyone at at&t. However, you cannot begin to convince anyone that your salary is not paid by the at&t customer base. The third party call center for which you work has a contract with at&t to provide customer care support - an endeavor that is funded by at&t. The funds that back your paycheck certainly do come from at&t, which, in turn, does come from the at&t customers. So admit it, you're wrong on that point, too.

You say you don't 'stalk and insult', then you admit that you have done it. Which is it, wilcre? Insulting forum customers may not be your job, but it IS your style. And it was stalking that earned you your very own ban from the forum a while back. You say "yes I have done it I am not denying that, but again a wrong assumption". Huh? You did it, but my calling you on it is a bad assumption? It's not an assumption at all. It's a fact that you have corroborated in your response.

My contention that you enjoy the protection of the current set of at&t moderators also is strengthened by your own statement. You admit that you were banned "not long after [you] joined the VCMer's (sic) got me banned for awhile" when Sunshine was a mod... yet now there are no repercussions for your actions - proof that Sentry and WirelessForeman are covering for you and protecting your sorry self. If you got the same (equal) treatment as the other forum members, you'd have been permanently banned long ago.

G8keeper had your number, but unfortunately, left his job with at&t due to personal family matters. Mod.moose is still on the forums as a Lithium mod, and I have no idea what you were trying to say in your reference to either of them.

Finally, you say "as for [your] reply’s, (sic) they are the same given on the phone as they are in the forums, so the misinformation if I do give it out is because the info has just changed". That is a truly sad state of affairs. You give out wrong information and then blame in on the fact that "the info has just changed"? If you were busy learning how to do your job better, you would be able to stay current on the changes to policy and procedures… instead you are playing on the forums. Could it really be that you don't know your arse from a hole in the ground? How many of your answers are based on real life experience on your part, versus the admittedly "just changed" manuals? I can tell you that the majority of the helpful members on the forum are speaking from their own personal experience -and helping customers in the process. We don't have the luxury of access to the internal information and training materials that you and the other reps have - yet we regularly out perform you with our responses. And in general terms, we don't do it with insults, sarcasm or rainbow colored misinformation.

You have stated that I was wrong "6 out of 6" times, yet your only argument is "not true" and "wrong assumption". You have not acquitted yourself at all here. Please try again. This time, either put some effort into it or get some help.
