I just checked the email address that I keep in touch with him on. He told me to tell you guys:
Saxitoxin wrote:Check it out - Andy told me I was perma-banned but King Achilles says my prison sentence is up in March!!!
I can hardly wait to update the gang on all the grand adventures across the whole of the world I've had during my sabbatical. Please tell the boards to man the battle stations and get ready for the biggest SAX-ATTACK in history come March! ACK!?!?!
Also, some interesting tidbits he volunteered to me about himself when I asked about his life:
Saxitoxin wrote:OK, sweetcheeks - I was not a mere police officer, I was a mortar battery commander in the Wachregiment Feliks Dzierzynski, or the Felix Dzerhinsky Watch Regiment as they say in English. We were a popular humanitarian relief organization in the DDR much loved by all of the people in the farmers and workers paradise. We did, however, often cooperate with the Volkspolizei (the People's Armed Police) in stopping warmongers, racists and capitalists who sought to spread discord and negativity.
I was also a member of the Socialist Unity Party, though, my brother was in fact a democratically elected member of the Volkshammer (parliament) from the Democratic Farmers' Party, which was one of 5 political parties in the former East Germany. He still lives in Germany, though I'm in the US now.
Interesting guy...

You do realize that he...never mind.

I think that you would be surprised by the company that I keep Woodruff.

My comment wasn't going to have anything at all to do with the company you keep. Unless you're him, of course.

I think Woodruff's comment was going to be - "You do realize he is completely joking and that everything he says is an amusing fake story?"
And emphasis on the word amusing. He's a funny guy, and I welcome him back with open arms.

You could guys could be right.
He could be making things up but I don't think that's the case here based on the conversations I've had with him.

And now I think that YOU'RE pulling our leg. Because you couldn't...possibly...could you?

GreekDog..
I'll admit that I'm not overly familiar with the inner workings of Eastern Germany, but from what I can see the things he's mentioned are real. Many of the people involved with them are undoubtedly still alive and I don't think it's such a huge stretch to think that some of them have internet access. People do shit over the course of their lives...
Basically what I'm hearing is that he says he was an officer of some kind in Eastern Germany. Saxi could be making up his involvement but I'm not sure why he would. Believe it or not, the two of us got along pretty well.

Felix Dzerzinhsky died in 1929. It's 2010. That was 81 years ago. Perhaps Saxi's unit was named after that Communist freedom fighter. However, based upon Saxi's prior contributions to this forum, I'm going to err on the side of caution and assume he just pulled up wikipedia (like I did) and read all about Eastern Germany (like I did).

That's a definite possibility.
You can ask him all about it in March.

I would. If I thought there would be a serious answer. Which there won't be, of course.

Based on this thread, I would not be surprised in the least to hear that he highly enjoys your relationship together.
I'm picturing you wandering the internet, obvlivious to the "Troll Me!" sign on your back, while Saxi lurks in the shaddows, preparing to befriend you.

Seems he was pretty roundly hated at first, and now is beloved.
"Dearly Departed"

I dislike his personality, personally...and yet still find some of his stuff pretty damn funny.
And I don't think he was ever really HATED...it's just that he was so painfully obviously a troll, that people were upset at that.

I've been a SAX-APOLOGIST from day one, I'll have you know.
And he was hated by the lamest people here, the ones with no sense of humor. What do you expect?
Lastly, pretty much all of the best people we have here were hated at first. Funny how that works.

I have always been beloved!

Believe it or not, I get sick of arguing. There are a number of writing projects I've been working on which have been significantly more rewarding than posting here..
There are a few threads I'm still considering whether or not to respond to, but I'm probably not going to be spending as much time here.
