As far as I'm concerned you fell foul of that rule when you published an article full of lies in Taxi talk magazine about my database. You will be held to account one way or another, if not on there, then certainly on here.

You might as well have posted that article on TDO because that's where it will be debated. Whether you like it or not?

Besides no personal information of yours has been given out. What has been discussed is the author of the article and seeing as you are the author of the article the two can't be separated. The author was one Wayne Casey either we discuss Wayne Casey or we discuss Captain Cab. The two are inseparable just as we discuss anyone else who publishes works of art such as yours.

The problem with you is that you don't like being found out and held accountable. As far as I'm concerned from now on any document you write that is not factual you will be held accountable for on this website .

Narcissistic personality disorder describes a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, lack of empathy, and hypersensitivity to evaluation by others. Self-centeredness and being self-absorbed and being unable to empathize with others affecting the person’s interactions with others, characterizes this personality disorder. It is a form of depression, resulting in an increased likelihood of hospitalization.

Patients with narcissistic personality disorder often have a need to be the center of attention and to control events. They crave affection and admiration from others. They are perfectionists (about themselves). They may try to create dramatic crises to obtain attention to return the focus to themselves. As with patients with antisocial personality disorder, entitlement issues are very important. Patients with narcissistic personality disorder feel as if everyone and everything owes them—without any contribution on their part.

Several alcohol and other drug (AOD)-induced states can mimic personality disorders. If a personality disorder coexists with AOD use, only the personality disorder will remain during abstinence. AOD use may trigger or worsen personality disorders. The course and severity of personality disorders can be worsened by the presence of other psychiatric problems such as mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders.

People with a personality disorder often use AODs for purposes that relate to the personality disorder: to diminish symptoms of the disorder, to enhance low self-esteem, to decrease feelings of guilt, and to amplify feelings of diminished individuality.

People with narcissistic personality disorder are often polydrug users with a preference for stimulants. Alcohol has disinhibiting effects, and may help to diminish symptoms of anxiety and depression. Socially awkward or withdrawn people with narcissistic personality disorder may be heavy marijuana users. One group of people with narcissistic personality disorder uses steroids to build up a sense of physical perfection. When not using AODs, people with narcissistic personality disorder may feel that others are hypercritical of them or do not sufficiently appreciate their work, talents, and generosity. During a crisis, these people may be severely depressed and upset.

Symptoms
Reacts to criticism with feelings or rage, shame or humiliation
Takes advantage of others to achieve own goals
Self-important
Exaggerates achievements and talents
Preoccupation with fantasies of success, power, beauty, intelligence, or ideal love
Unreasonable expectations of favorable treatment
Requires constant attention and admiration
Exhibits jealousy of others
Causes
The exact cause is not known, though one theory suggests that the onset might develop in response to childhood experiences. The disorder usually begins in early adulthood.

YER..AND HE'S DRIVING A TAXI...?????T

Tricky one this, particularly since I don't think you've ever made any secret about your identity Cap, it's a bit like those who have in the past posted under their real name then change to a pseudonym and then think that means that they can disown anything that they've written in the past.

However, we'll leave the speculation about the IDs of forum members to others in other places, for example Derek Cummins in his forthcoming Taxi Talk article.

Of course, it's quite open to JD to speculate as to the identity of the author of the critical Taxi Talk piece, but since we aim to protect the IDs of forum members, all the references on the forum associating CC with any real name have been removed.

Hmm...seems to be a diagnosis relating to the article in Taxi Talk written by Your local TOA.

But I assume that the rather arrogant tone of some of that article was a bit tongue-in-cheek, so I won't attribute the symtoms to the author

The rule is in place because a valid email address is required in order to register.

It states, registration is required to contribute to this forum.

Contributors need not use their real name.

Your real name will be hidden from the public unless you specify otherwise.

Your real name has been hidden from the public. This site has protected your privacy.

Because you write articles under your real name in Taxitalk magazine, you must expect those articles to be criticised if warrented. Please don't blame TDO for your own digressions. If you have the audacity to write articles appertaining to the Taxi trade then those articles and the Author are fair game for debate.

I suggest TDO remove the name Waaaayne Caaasey from the unauthorised list. For the simple reason that Mr. Waaayne Caasey is a journalist and member of the NTA heirarchy who in turn in his own admissions represents the trade, both positions have to be seen to be accountable to the Taxi trade as a whole.

The protection of the name Waayne Caaasey is unwarrented.

JD

In the opinion of an anonymous person.

thanks for your input.

Another complaint by email about this one, but not from the aggrieved party, I should add.

Clearly JD has thwarted the express wishes of the TDO admin by bypassing the word censor to reveal the poster's real name.

However, as I said above the poster has never made any secret about his ID, so to complain now smacks of crying wolf in my opinion.

So there's not really any point in deleting the aggrieved poster's name from the above posts.

This is clearly a bit of a volte-face on TDO's part since last week.

But since the aggrieved poster has had no hestitation in associating with a group guilty of far greater wrongs against TDO than that of JD against him, then I don't think he really has much to complain about as regards our scruples.

Moreover, he was recently responsible for disseminating a forthcoming magazine article falsely accusing TDO of this, that and the next thing, so again it is difficult to entertain any complaints of wrongdoing against him.

We'll have to start calling him Captain Scab

By the way, some people seem to thing we have nothing better to do than to sit in front of a computer 24/7 and deal with whatever's posted on here.

Sorry, but we have taxis to drive.
