Where Nobody Knows Your Name

mr X says:

I expect any day now to have my attention drawn to the list of thai related sites somebody in the building is addicted to logging onto, and being questioned about it. In past years this has not mattered but now everyone is wasting so much work time booking their holidays, drooling over what stuff to buy on the argos site, sending all their mates joke emails or just looking at filth that 'epolicies' are now common. These threaten warnings,dismissal, and stonning for repeat offenders. Sadly for me I am on a final warning due to our nice pals at thai-uk.com after they reported me to my place of work for an 'offensive' post. I now make sure things are not traceble back to me but 'they' still know I am the thai addict, maybe I should switch to posting on something else for a while to put them off the scent, any suggestions?-mr X

David says:

Mr X

What a shocking story.

No one will EVER be reported to their employer for posting to Mango Sauce.

That's a promise.

mr x says:

Thanks for the assurance, lucky for me that the big people found nothing offensive in the post, but still it caused me quite a bit of unwanted questioning. You cannot be too carefull as there are a lot of vindictive buggers about-p oops mr X

mr X says:

Forgot to add that I was also reported to my ISP, who of course were never heard from as they are not really much concerned about people describing another party as hypocrites. If anyone is worried about their identities being discovered it might be best to post through one of those cloaking proxy sites whcih hide your IP address. Of course most of these require payment and not all work networks allow them, but it might save your skin. mr x

smeee says:

it is a sad fact that many people not in possession of an interesting existance find it nessesary to instruct others in how to achieve a full life as a peanut. Just telling them to fcuk off does not work as it piques their interest and makes them think that here is a challenge worthy of them. Instead agree with them in everything they say and their short attention spans will direct them to others in a short space of time.
nah stupid idea...just let them know they can get something warm in their stomachs if they just get down and suck your cock.

AVID says:

Reading the above should remind all of you that the browsing history database on your proxy at work needs to be hacked every now and again so that certain website names dont appear in any queries handed over to senior management. if you have sysadmin access great, if not go buy the sysadmin guy a couple of beers & if he's bored shitless & unhappily married with some white elephant, suggest that he should take his next business trip to the Land of Smiles. Thereafter, you need not worry about all those "nasty" website records turning up next to your name. :)

Billy King says:

Peter, you hep cat, what use is a cloaking proxy if it's obviously you?

mr peter says:

Good advice but unfortunately all the network admin blokes at our place are strict muslims, so plying them with drink or trips to infidel hot spots are about as unlikely to succeed as seeing the archbishop of cantabury pissed as a fart down your local. Still the good thing is they are more interested in buggering of to pray and too laszy to be that bothered, unless some outside cunt starts to whine-peter

mr peter says:

Billy K

I don't use such a device myself, it was advice for others who might be worried. Also, if something cannot be proved, even though they know its you prevents them from doing much, except marking you down for the next round of redundancies-peter

Tirak Ja says:

Well I am one of those spooks. We don't really care what people are doing as long as nobody complains about it or the person isn't getting anything done. BKKTonight and Mangosauce records probably dominate our firewall and IP caches anyway...

Just as point of fact most people expect that it is always the fat bald middle aged guy or horny young stud who sits around sweating over their laptops looking at porn, not so. I frequently hear my desktop support friends' snicker filled stories of all the porn they bump into whenever they work on some uptight man bashing minger's workstation.

In any case I can't imagine Mangosauce being anymore of a problem than the Onion is for example. Their are companies and government organizations that ban everything but a few news sites, but what can you do about that.

mr peter says:

Yes many sites are blocked at my work but not very cleverly eg it blockes anything with adult in the title, including adult education sites. Wine sites are blocked as drugs as well as most sex sites. NP and BKKtonght are blocked etc atc. Luckily I am able to have created a log in for somebody that does not exsist so no problem. Different people waste time in different ways, the women seem to be addicted to posting endless 'joke' emails much of it sexual in nature. This was all very well until one included the boss as well as the other 50 people on the mailing list, ha ha-peter

AVID says:

By the way WHO IS that mango sauce frontpage thai stunner, anyone got her mobile number?

One who knows says:

David, you may find it shocking that T-UK reported Mr. X (or Mr. Peter as he is usually known) to his employer, but it was done as a last resort.

The inoffensive post?

I don't think it was the numerous abusive entries in the guestbook that peed them of, but I think the links to hardcore porn where children would see them finally broke the camels back.

Peter, why are you so sad they chucked you out?

They never liked you, you claim you never liked them. Now you're gone and no-one misses you. But you still harp on and on like some sad old minger who's been dumped for a younger model!

LET GO!
IT'S OVER!

Tirak Ja says:

That was mean...

mr peter says:

Take no notice TIRAK JA, I don't. It's obvious by now that NJW, one who knows, Jintara and all the other names he posts under is a lonely bitter man. The mention of porn links is of course a lie. I think this guy has a thing about protecting kids because he could not protect his daughter from a drug overdose, you'd think that was my fault as well. Sad the way some people can can end up-peter

Tirak ja says:

I take it back. Reading your comment above convinces me that you are the arsehole he says you are.

Get a life says:

Mr. Peter, I see you only deny the porn links, I take it you admit his other accusations are true?

Final warning? As UK employers are legally bound to give 3 warnings, perhaps you can enlighten us as to what the first 2 were for?

If I were NJW, I would be deeply offended by you constant attempts to justify yourself by claiming he drove his daughter to drugs. As I am not, I can only echo Tirak Ja's comments above.

The constant abuse you heap upon him, and your feeble attempts at self justification by trying to convince everyone that every person who criticises you is in fact only one person under multiple identities, only prove one thing. How sad you are.

Get a life says:

P.S.

As an employer I would also say that I have no objections to my staff surfing whilst on their on their lunch break or whatever. But in my time? That's not what I pay them for!

Samsong says:

Agree with Get A Life. Why do people get so annoyed when their boss wants them to do the work they're being paid to do?

If I called in a builder and he spent the whole time reading a newspaper I'd get another builder, and I bet you all would too.
