Forum: GratefulDead Subject: Jacky Hughes is not Kochman

I have had something of a history with Jacky H. in the course of which we have been less than pleasant to each other, and I also have a well established habit of saying exactly what I think regarding trolls and assorted other sources of annoyance. I hope, therefore, that it will be acknowledged that I have no hidden agenda here, no reason to back Jacky beyond simply standing up for someone I believe is being wrongfully accused.

I assume that Kochman - whoever 'Kochman' might be - is an American (and I presume no one is going to deny that). Jacky Hughes' use of language and cultural references are very obviously not those of an American. So, based on these differences I'm concluding that Kochman is not Jacky Hughes. If you think that's a weak argument come up with a stronger rebuttal than I've seen so far. I'm staking my forum membership on it.

You need to look at what's actually there - not what you think is there. You might not like what the guy says or how he says it, but that doesn't make him some other guy you don't like either. Accept the fact that there might just be more than one person in the world who doesn't see things quite like you do.

This whole unsavoury business is all too reminiscent of the paranoid witch hunting orchestrated by Cliff and rbnw a few years back that saw the entirely innocent Stephanie Brown hounded off the forum after they accused her of being a troll. If I recall correctly user unknown was accused of being a troll by Cliff around this time too. That was one of the most unedifying episodes in forum history - and there have certainly been a few of those.

If anyone can provide me with incontrovertible proof that the posters Jacky Hughes and Kochman (along with his alleged variants) are one and the same person I will post an unreserved apology and leave this place. I won't accept hearsay, misinterpretations of posts or any other form of wishful thinking. I'm just a little bit weary of the 'we know something you don't know' conspiratorial nods and winks going on between certain posters. Just give me the facts.

It may mean nothing at all, but have you noticed that all of the Tollundism posts, the fake splue posts and all of the posts made under the asinine variants on my poster name have been removed from the Archive? All the Jacky Hughes posts are still there though - a sure indication that whoever he is, he's not someone who bothers the Archive moderators any.

So, over to you. Convince me and I'm gone.

I agreed not to respond to trolls insofar as I recognised that I was being trolled. Defending someone who I believe has been wrongly accused of being a troll is something quite different. Who knows, by the end of the day you may never have to put up with my smartass attitudes ever again!

Oh I can be more than just a bit silly now and then! I think what I am at the moment is tired, cranky, frustrated and disgruntled, and more than anything fed up with the unsubstantiated accusations and innuendo. I honestly don't care if everyone here except you and me is Kochman. Of course I don't think that's true, but nor do I believe that Kochman is as multi-headed as the likes of skobud and Cliff would have us believe. I'll be a lot happier if I never see another 'you're an idiot, Rob (Kochman)' response. I'd like to feel positively engaged again but all I am right now is cynical.

The only thing worse than being talked about is NOT being talked about.

The day you, an exemplary haggis-munching, sheep-bothering, kilt-dropping eejit, no longer share your self-serving, ego-bloated, rarely on-topic thoughts here is a day I think we all shall rue.

Now that wouldn't be too much of a stretch. Afterall, what better disguise than to be the opposite? Kind of a Jeyll and Hyde situation. Perhaps Kochman is my doppleganger? Ahh, I love a good mystery.

As for my absence during the recent exchanges, I found a much more interesting and productive use of my time. But now that I've successfully concluded watching the paint dry on my recently destroyed cubicle, I guess I can come back.

I'm sorry Rob, with all due respect (and I mean that sincerely), I can't subscribe to this ( I never associated "Splue" or "Tollunsism" with Kochman, and all the facts point to Jacky being Koch with his axe to grind against me. It's uncanny how dark.stars and Jacky so frequently post within minutes of each other

Drag up all the ancient history you'd like, you're quite wrong about this one. And even if you're right, Jacky Hughs is certainly a complete asshole...

Forum: GratefulDead Subject: I couldn't give a toss what Dennis thinks

Hi Rab, Thank you for your kind words. But please, please let this one go. I know I'm not Rob Koch, and you know I'm not Rob Koch. More importantly, don't you go leaving on my account, you daft wazzock. Dennis can think what the hell he wants to, I couldn't care less. He won't run me off the board. You are right though, this is a tactic he has used in the past against people who face him up. He is a small fish in a small pond. As ringolevio correctly says, we agreed not to 'bite' in response to trolls. Dennis does exhibit troll behaviour on occasions (and has self confessed to it). Let's not stoop to his level. My previous post here was a genuine attempt to get us talking about Jerome and his bands again. One last thing. Riddle me this; if I am kochman, how would I know about Vic and Bob, Goldie Lookin' Chain and Rab C. Nesbitt ? Even if kochman had googled Rab C. or watched it on YouTube, he wouldn't understand a word that Gregor Fisher was saying as Rab. Would I have apologised to you and splue if I were kochman ? I don't think so. Dennis: I know who I am and that's all that matters. Troll away Dennis, but I repeat, you won't run me off the board. Have the admins check me out, I have nothing to hide. Why do you think there is no letter "i" and "L" in my screen name ? I know what this place is like.

Whether or not you're actually Kochman is sort of beside the point. Your posts here -- from the very beginning -- seem mostly inspired by anger and bitterness. Try relaxing (deep breaths... herbal tea... yoga?) and posting things more on-topic. I bet the reception would be a little bit warmer, whoever you are.

Truce? I figure I do enough things to creep you out that you could've independently repeated what the ol Kman had to say, so I shouldn't hold that against you, Dan Healy, or anyone else for that matter. But, hope you'll understand that whatever the truth may be, that's all you and I have ever had to post to one another (ie, the things I do that bothered Kman, bother you). So my bad if my assumption was way off...until a gal says I am creepy, I, unfortunately, will no doubt continue to irritate ya, but you've let me know, so perhaps we can move on?

Koch, you might be able to fool Robword and a few others, but your MO here leaves no doubt about the identity of Jacky Hughes.

Youve snipped at, and attacked me here for months before I ever responded to one Jacky Hughes posts. I find it uproariously funny that your hatred of me compelled you post the only negative comments about my xtranormal movies, and I'm thrilled by how incensed you become by my negative comments about 1980's Grateful Dead. I'm looking forward to your future comments on my top-ten lists.

Continue with your bullshit. Youre a troll Jacky, and not even a creative one at that...

Forum: GratefulDead Subject: I'll offer you a truce:

What a load of self pitying, delusional drivel. I don't 'hate' you. You are not that important. I just happen to think you are a total twat that's all. I have given you back similar treatment that I have observed you giving to others on this forum over the years. Not nice to be on the receiving end is it ? My snipping at you, which I admit to doing, is small potatoes compared to the crap you've dished out to Hunter Seamons amongst others. It saddens me to think of the people who you have tried belittle and run off this forum just because you didn't like what they were saying. I called you out as a troll (and so did high flow) because of this: "It's quite simple! It's quite fun pushing the buttons of the folks like you and billydillions" and not because you don't like the 1980 Dead. Hoisted by your own petard Dennis. Get with it matey, get over yourself and come down from up your own arse for five minutes. I couldn't care less what you think. Like I said, if you think I'm Rob Koch have the admins check my IP. Put up or shut up. Going forward, you are not going to run me off this board. So here's a truce: I'll ignore you and you ignore me back. Deal ?

I'm quite flattered, that my opinions are so importan that you become enraged by comments that I make about 1980's Grateful Dead music. And that you feel so compelled to attack me for a comment I made tongue in cheek over a year ago. Don't you have anything better to do with your time than snipe at me? And who the fuck appointed you a moderator here you pompous sack of shit! Expressing my opinion makes me a troll, you dumb fuck?

And eactly what "crap have I dished out to Hunter Seamons" dumb-ass? And what the fuck business is it of your's anyway? I expressed my opinion about his matrices. What, we are only allowed to post positive reviews here dipshit?

For the record, in an direct attempt to make peace with Hunter, I reflected his work quite positively in my xtranormal movie. Of course the fact that these movies went viral incensed you for some reason, which can only bethe result of your sadly misguided hatred of me.

Ignore you? I have been pretty much ignoring you for the entire brief period that you have been posting here you loser. I actually pity you and the darkness within which you obviously live. I cant even recall responding to a Jacky Hughes post. Youre actually quite easy to ignore. Virtually nothing you have ever commented on here is related to music. Nothing but hatred. You have not contributed anything here more valuable than a used condom...

Hey Dooshbag -

You told me at least ten times about Europe and how you were going to move there. Spoof your IP and study up on European culture for the last ten years - poof - now you are someone else.

I always call you an idiot but I never called you dumb. I have to hand it to you here Koch, your perseverance has paid off. I ve been out of the loop a few days and I see you have been amazingly busy and persuasive. Too bad your amazing attention to detail cannot be used for something productive. You plastic coward, WTF happened to you?


The whole thing has always been Cliff Vs. Koch. It always has been even before my time. Thats specifically how Dennis and I know. You never stop. Ever. There is no bigger tell than that.

Thanks Tim. Jacky Hughes is so obviously Kochman he's not worth responding to. Robword is a good guy, but he has a long and storied history here of taking himself too seriously. He probably got bored and felt like starting some shit here. He's so wrong about JH not being Koch. But he will never admit that he's wrong...
