Old Speckled Hen-target Water Profile

I think he may need to supply a spoon pic in the gallery because the stench of troll is high....

Forgive my ignorance what does the above mean? Are you saying I should pull the images for security sake.

 

[dalpets]

I dunno. None of it (with the possible exception of the HLT) looks especially well used. Seems like a plausibly new rig to me.

I hope so anyway. I fucken HATE it when I get trolled.

[EDIT: I took the liberty of running a couple of the images through Tineye and it came up with nothing. If this is a hoax it is an elaborate one.]

Bum,

What does all this mean. Have I been naive putting up my images?

If you mean what I think you mean this is a very distrustful paranoid world.

All this trolling talk, a la deception, is way out of my league. Remember I'm from a different generation!

Does it really mean you are looking over your shoulder all the time and you even checked out my vreracity & honesty. What a pain!. I am disappointed!.

 

[bum]

Oh man. Now I'm all confused. It does all seem somewhat trolly now.

Assuming this is all above board - no, the images present no security problem at all, that is not his suggestion. He is suggesting that perhaps you're not as new to brewing as you say you are.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you!

All can be solved with a spoon pic

Take a picture of your mashtun with a silver spoon in it.

What else do you guys do for your kicks? Do you have nothing better to do? Oh I feel so sorry for your lack of confidence in human beings. How do you carry that baggage around with you every day?

Google just led me to a post from last year by a gent by the name of "dalpets" that nails the exact tone used here. Again, I say if this is a hoax it is an elaborate one and I'll continue to take his posts as genuine until otherwise is proven.

That's a real intelligent contribution. I'm starting to think that a minority of you on this forum are complete slags.
Go away you worm!

That is not what it means. I did do those things but you make it look like this is something I do for every person I come across online. I do not and did not until someone else brought your genuineness into question. I clearly stated that what "evidence" I could find suggests that I'm happy to take you at face value and I hope this puts the matter to bed - not only for you and I but also for other readers of this exchange.

 

[outbreak]

You sound like a troll, its not a big ask for you to supply said photo. Either way im not really phased, its just that your tone and unnecessary over the top language are all hallmarks of an internet troll, just trying to help others out so they don't waste their time....

edit.... hmmm maybe I am a jaded cynical internet user an frequent too many forums....... sorry if I offended.

Why don't you talk to me in person rather than refer to me in the third person.

I get the overriding feeling that I am talking to two different people every time I touch base with you,

I'm getting to the point with you and your lot that AHB is a waste of time. I have better things to do than hang around with paranoids

 

[outbreak]

He was talking to me in that post. Bum is being nice to you, I was the one who was being a jerk.

 

[bum]

Because I was talking to someone else about you. My tense was appropriate.

I get the overriding feeling that I am talking to two different people every time I touch base with you,

I can see where you are coming from but you've got the wrong end of the stick here (less so in other instances).

Please reconsider. What I said in my PM was genuine and nothing said here changes that (and vice versa). PM aside, everyone here will be very happy to support me when I say that neither outbreak nor I are the face of popular opinion here. This board really is a terrific resource and can be of tremendous help to you.

Oh dear, what a sad world! If you you are with Interpol I have no fears at all, Bum.

Are there any level headed brewers lurking on this thread please let me know so that my confidence in human nature can de restored.

 

[bum]

Oh dear, what a sad world!

Ok, the chronology is all messed up here now. I hope you realise I've moved on from the seed of doubt planted by outbreak in reading this thread further.

Changing tack for a moment, if I may, I just realised that what I assumed was a HLT might be a HERMS or RIMS. Is that right or am I out of my depth (RIMS and HERMS are most definitely out of my depth either way)?

Exactly, but maybe the yellow wagon is!

 

[bum]

Actually, nevermind. My best intentions seem to only be making things worse here. I'll leave you to it.

Yes, more level headed brewers will be glad to assist you. And I'll refrain from further contributions.

An aside to everyone else: why can't this happen when it is my actual intention? I have to do it when trying my best not to. Oh well.

Whose profile states that his interests include IT (namely, linux)... yet who doesn't know what a troll is? Uh huh.

This forum is a wonderful resource when not used for social chit-chat. Haters gonna hate - stick to the brewing questions & answers and you'll be fine.

Looks like a real pretty set up. Should do great.

If I can hark back to the original question - as I'm sure is stated somewhere in here, get your basic process working good then tweak the water profile.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, you can't win either way. It's a sad world indeed.

You certainly did offend!. Coming out of the woodwork at this stage of proceedings makes me believe that you are only interested in a stouche.
And who makes you, may I ask, the bench mark of communication standards. Too many on this forum are to ready to criticize at the drop of a hat before they get their brain into gear. Furthermore you show your ignorance when you make ad hominen attacks on people's personalities.

I have to say, as a fair minded person, I accept your apology but please think it through in future before you go into print.
