Forged post impersonating Papyrus's Ed Martin

A forged post in Ed Martin's name claimed that NASCAR Racing 2 would not ship until 1998. Users quickly showed from the headers that it was fake. The real Ed Martin condemned the impersonation and noted that such behaviour discourages companies from helping on the newsgroup.

I didn't even have to look at the header of this fake post to know it is just another moronic attempt at impersonating Ed Martin. Please tell me everyone saw right through it.

People are really going off the deep end here. (split personalities,possessions,delusions of grandeur). We will need a Nascar2 support group soon.

Hey Mark and other USENET detectives: Do you honestly believe there are folks here who need proof that this is a fake post? I seems that the only people who would are those who could care less about who Ed Martin is, or whether or not he "really" did write the fake post. Who is to benefit from the investigation? People who it matters too, right? I don't think the purpose of this investigation is to narrow down an individual who is responsible so one of you can jump on a plane and fly down to this guy's house and yank him out of bed and beat the holly ***out of him, right? So what is the purpose then? Perhaps you think we are so naive, we need proof to see that it is fake. This is an insult.

Don't Worry Ed, the smarter people can distinqish(?) the difference!! Keep up the good work!! Great demo , cant wait for the entire game! Some of us do apprectiate what you do! thanks!

Ed, Why is this needed? None of us are that dumb. The fake post could not have done damage with respect to those whom it concerns. Slamming the guy like this is probably tickling him to death. If incidents like these prevent you from participating in this forum, then I am surprised. Most folks who take on a leadership role in any sense of the word are willing to be there for their followers in times of adversity and help to guide us. I would expect my brave leader to step out in public and shake my hand, even though raving hecklers are present not to mention the chance of getting shot to death. BTW, If you are now manager, who is the producer? CT

> I didn't even have to look at the header of this fake post to know it > is just another moronic attempt at impersonating Ed Martin. Please > tell me everyone saw right through it. Of course.... You'd have to be sleeping through your life to buy a lame post like that. Of course, for someone with nothing to do this must seem like a fun thing. This "someone" is making enemies, and may just have something to do if we catch him....... it's called recovery. Mike
Why is it needed you ask sir? I'll tell you why, do you actually think Ed will be just sitting around when some 12 year-old bastard is out on the loose pretending to be him? First off, if people think Ed is a *** like this imposter showed him to be, Papyrus would loose profit on the forthcoming NASCAR 2. I personally beleive Ed is a very nice guy and dont beleive he should be treated this way. However, I agree that this is tickling him to death, however, wouldnt you think some people think its a REAL post? Ed had to clarify or all hell would have broke loose. Ed deserves better, thats my 2 cents worth!

Sir, No, *most* of us could distunguish if this was fake or real. People who are new to the I-Net may require proof, see what I am saying? You ask who is benefit from the investigation, why ALL OF US of course, especially the real Ed Martin. Beat the hold ***out of him? No, but, we CAN find out whos fault here. The PURPOSE is, to keep Anti-RAS people out of here! >=() I respect your comments, since I am a "gentleman" I will not flame you, *unlike* some people in here. =( Mark ***************************************************************** * SIMSPEED - The Place For Racing Sims * * http://www.git.net/simspeed/ * * Simspeed ? - The SimSpeed Team * * Coming in January * * Mark Fields - "Drummer Extrodinaire" * *****************************************************************
