Question for Cain, oops I mean MightyJoeYoung and phonepimp

Why does VZW drop less calls then any other GSM carrier?
...
MightyJoeYoung

Dec 15, 2004, 8:46 AM
I'm not Cain, but ok.

I don't know why. They also claim to have less dropped calls then any other CDMA carrier as well. Independant studies show that several carriers drop less calls in different areas. For example, US Cellular had less dropped calls in Chicago and Cingular had less in New York City. I don't buy the whole "less dropped calls" bit.

Why would Cain change his handle?

And why hasn't he been here the past couple o' days, screaming psychotically at anyone who doesn't agree with him? I used to be able to set my watch by that 😁

Yeah... you pushed to get him banned so you could ridicule him without him getting the better of you. "Fire with Fire?" that's a joke. Now he's not around to defend himself and you and your little friends can trash talk all you want. Sounds like you did get what you wanted... he can't point out how ridiculous you are and you get to try to make friends with all of the people he used to talk to. Sounds like you just wanted him out of the way.

Well, that's... one opinion, anyway. But I think Cain getting mass-modded and deleted so heavily recently points to the fact that, yeah, he really was unpleasant. Needlessly so, btw.

Personally, I feel that you and your buddies egged Cain on several times. I have noticed that there aren't any posts here which are any worse than anyone else's. Maybe they were erased, but there are several that haven't been. All of the posts that show people insulting him are still up but I don't see anyone crying to the admin to get them banned. Sounds to me like someone was playing with fire and cried like a baby when they got burned. Reminds me of people who start fights and call the police when they get their butts kicked.

i don't have a problem with rules, i have a problem snuffy people who gang up on someone to get them kicked out, Cain made plenty of rude comments and remarks and he wasn't kicked out until people started "telling"...and so, no, i don't think i will go to another site, unless, of course the pitchforks and village people head to my hut next

You're joking right? I, Piz, shadedpain, shnoejizt, muchdrama and many others have commented at times about how obnoxious 'Cain' was.

I don't know why you're crying on and on about this. 'Cain' certainly deserved it. Hanky?

So? if being obnoxious was a reason to get banned, then there would be no forum. I have yet to see where anyone besides you and piz said he "deserved it". Funny how the list you have there is also a list of verizon employees...

I told you people a long time ago that Cain was "1 of Council of 12".
There is a lot of "Misinfomation" out there, so do your homework first, then ask your questions here.
By the way we all know "Cain" will use another name again, so why are you even trying bar him from a public forum?
Even though I don't like the guy, just ignore him, and like I do with the rest of the "Council". It works for me.
By the way, the quality of discussions on year have gotten better here than they were a few months ago. And I have to give Rich Brome credit for that.

It wasn't a year ago... and I was the only one who was self-appointed at first, and then elected into the group by the rest. This z1 character named his version of the the 11 most idiotic members of this forum. Ironically, they were mostly all of the peole who actually knew what they were talking about and tried to answer questions for people. I'm kind of surprised that z1 is still showing his mug around... it has been awhile. Anyway, I can't remember all of the original eleven, but Cain was one, and muchdrama, and VZWman, I think... I don't know, it gets fuzzy. Also, z1 was saying that he thinks the quality of the discussions has gotten better around here.

It hasn't been a year more like a few months. And for those who are cutious, I am the one who decide who were "The Council of 12".
There names aren't important anymore!
The "Quality" of people on most of these forums has gotten much better(At least I think so).
This IS A PUBLIC SITE, the truth speaks volumes, it's the "gray area" people seem to have a problem with.
As for cell companies and their employees some are better than others, but no one(company) is perfect. Once you get past that, these forums have some useful info.

I didn't even drink coffee before I worked here, and now I'm a frappacino addict. Or at least I was, until I found out that my Venti double-blended frappacino had as many calories as a Big Mac. I still sneak the occasional Mocha Valencia or pumpkin scone, though.

He's a good person and very few people deserve to be banned, especially Cain. Cain is very passionate in what he does and he as many other humans express their feelings and thoughts differently. Cain just tells you how it is whether or not it's fact or opinion; but keep in mind that opions are facts to ones self.

A con I saw in Cain is that his opinions were a fact to everyone. Every one has cons and we are entitled to one.

Everyone has buttons that can be pushed to act in a bad way, he was poked at quite a bit and I understand where he comes from.

What happened to PhonePimp?

Sorry for the irrelevant to VZW post.

I also liked Cain. He seemed to know a lot and was always good for a laugh. One thing for certain, he definitely left his mark on phonescoop for a whole entire thread to be dedicated to him. A lot of people could get banned and no on would even meantion them or at most say oh what happened to so & so.
