My mistake, the two posts I have below were written under the thought that the topic at hand was 'Say Anything' or something like that, the thread below this one.
To be honest, Master Ping has a reputation for applying his expectations unevenly on this forum. He labors under the reputation he has earned himself, which is one of a pro moo who does not hold pro-moos to any level of conduct, but holds anti-moo responsible and lectures them despite never having earned a position as their master, or been given said respect or authority. I have nothing against him, but again, he's not my master. The near universal lack of conversational tone or communication in his part of threads has always led me to believe there was no Master Ping, just periodic lectures written by a moo. I still don't believe there is a Master Ping, I've never seen anything to lead me to believe that he's not just another handle for someone posting under another id. I could be wrong, but I'm rather cynical on that at this point, considering the number of pro-moos under identical ip's I've seen on other forums. It stands to reason that, since there is no one regular moo handle, but clearly there are regular moo posters, that a number of handles are being used by a smaller number of posters.
Not saying that anti-moos don't have multiple id's, but here, there's no moo that DOESN'T switch id's nearly daily, while there's a number of those not part of the pro moo crowd who can stick to their guns under one id.
Anyway, Ping's reputation will limit his effect as long as he continues lecturing those whose experiences he cannot know for sharing those experiences. However, my comments below were written in response to another thread entirely, so disregard.
