Allow me to rebut.

>>The Scoop term is "trusted user", not "Elites"<<

Semantics. TU's are the Elites of ip-wars.

>>They weren't. When I first saw them, all four were visible - one without the "Robbie the Robot" signature, three with.<<

They were posted one at a time, zeroed, and then reposted.

If you saw 4 identical posts unhidden it is because raters rated them visible again.

Robbie only reposts hidden posts.

>>Because, as I said in a previous post, there were four, visible identical posts, one without the "Robbie the Robot" sig, and three with.<<

See above

>>You are not the first Potential Recruit to mention "little people".<<

A little power corrupts little people.

>>Why do you deign to take time out to bless us with your snearing disdain.<<

I am playing by ip-wars rules - am I not permitted to comment on it's operation and the Elites that run it?

>> Perhaps that is the great advantages of sites like IP-Wars, in that not only do they have a primary function (IP Wars), but they allow the users to develop these "skills of power" in a forum where mistakes will cause minimal damage (no-one is going to die).<<

Power exercised is power abused.

>>Oh, and by the way, every "big person" was a "little person" once.<<

Not even close to being true.

Watch a child looking in amazement at a spider spinning a web - live and let live. Watch another child smash the web and step on the spider.

All children have some power, some children are just born big.

>>To some extent, this is not so much for you benefit, but for that of third parties that may visit this site, whether now or at some future time.<<

Such is your vanity that you would believe this exchange is worth reading.

People that zero comments because they don't like the content are little people.
