Sad news guys (I would bet that) Fabby old boy ain't no more politically conected than I am connected to the Pope!
The Fudd thing is just a way to distract voters from the real issues. Seems the plan is backfiring though because the taxpayers are getting angry about CofC wasting money. Ahhhhhhhhh.... Election time!
Totally agree !!
As far as the SN being able to turn over Fudd's identity...there are a ton of loopholes. If Fudd, when he originally signed up for an account at the SN used the name Elmer Fudd instead of his real name in the personal info section they require you to fill out when you first sign up for an account, the SN still has nothing on him, except the name Elmer Fudd.
Even if Elmer Fudd put his real name in the personal info the SN still has nothing (unless Elmer gets scared and admits it was him)
BECAUSE anyone can put ANY name in the personal info section...such as I or anyone, where it asked for our real name could have filled it in with Mark McBride, John Rhodes, PreFool etc claiming that is our real name. It doesn't mean it is the truth. LOL
...
Now as far as Elmer's ip....All the SN SHOULD have on him is an ip address. An ip address is a bunch of numbers that tells the general location of the SERVER NOT the location of the PERSON or their name.
The SERVER is owned by an internet provider and so are the ip addresses. (this is the simple explanation of it for it does get complicated)
SO...
In order for the Chamber to find out the location and who Elmer's specific ip address is assigned to, (because the SN will NOT have that info) the Chambers attorneys would have to go after the internet provider (AOL, Roadrunner etc) for the name of THEIR customer they assigned "Elmers" ip address to...and that ain't gonna happen without a huge legal battle. PLUS not all ip addresses are permanantly assigned.
Some have their customers ip address change with each log on.
And if he used a computer at his job or library, that further complicates things...The list could go on and on.
Same goes for any email addy he may have claimed to be his contact email. The email client would have to give up the identity IF they could. Most I know use yahoo, excite, etc. and FAKE info. So another dead end.
Also, it smelled when the SN gave Elmer "time" to come forward. That to me, proved they had NO info on him and were trying to trick him into "giving" up his identity since they KNOW they should NOT have anyway of knowing his real identity.
(Not sure what his filing papers back against the Chambers and SN could do to expose his identity. My guess, it depends on who knows about it and who might tell)
I would think the SN better be careful with this situation or else they could find themselves having to explain how they knew his identity if it goes that far. And if they don't shut Prefab up, it just might.
Just because I claim to be Billy Bob in their personal info section does not mean I am Billy Bob...Nor does my ip they capture prove I am Billy Bob....Only an internet provider can prove if Billy Bob has or has not been assigned that ip address. An internet provider will know the name and address of their customer they have assigned the ip address to...but that is all they can prove (with court orders)
An internet provider can't prove I as Billy Bob typed to the SN tho...
Just that someone used the ip address for access whether legally or not. (Because if Billy Bob has an unsecured wireless network, access is obtainable by ANYONE within a couple hundred feet...but that's another story. LOL
Tons more holes in the Fudd story but I won't bore you anymore other than to say...
Howard I soooooooooo agree with you that this is a plan they schemed up and it backfired on them.
As far as PF, one rumor has it, he does have a business (franchise) in MB, BUT it is NOT one we would visit for a burger or steak or anything. Rumor has it, it is a service industry business that provides services to the elite and corporations for their galas and functions. (That might be how he knows "them", thus his claim to be "one of them and in the know" ?)
Rumor also has it, his business would not be affected financially by us coming to the beach or not ....Of course it wouldn't if the above rumor has it right..
His ip said Charlotte, NC last year..and when asked about it he claimed his server is located in Charlotte.
Wouldn't it make sense that your WORK server is located in Charlotte if the headquarters of your "franchise" is in Charlotte?...if that particular rumor has it right....yet there are so many rumors out there about him.
