There's more information [url=http://rlfansdictionary.tripod.com/HERE[/url, though as far as I'm aware, the result of that poll in 2003 as to whether AP should "stay" or "go" was marginally in favour of "stay"... and that was in spite of AP voting for himself to "go" at least 50 times using at least 50 alternative accounts.
So I'm led to believe anyhow.

I can't remember why I left, obviously it was after some sort of prolonged argument with several other posters (I dimly recall vowing to stab the next pedant I physically came into contact with). I've never really been that good at internet arguing, I'm much better in the flesh where I can simply resort to shouting or taking the p!$$. However, much like AP, I abandoned my long time user name (the same one I had before the "great crash" I guess around 14 years ago) and became the upper lip hair of my long time idol Dave Heron.
I have managed to stay away from the Sin Bin though after silently deciding that I'd rather stick an angry porcupine up my @r$e than exchange "banter" with the people who fill their lives on that board. It hasn't been the same anyway since Wigan Fan was "eliminated" permanently. He was a nice guy when he first started posting and then somwhere along the line transformed into the internet equivalent of Vlad the Impaler. But it was all worth it to watch the total mayhem he inflicted on people who otherwise see their opinions as untouchable and the fawning @r$elickers who orbit around them.

I think he took the decision to create a new account and continue his negativity into 2014 and beyond.

I'm led to believe the original inspiration for allowing an "Agent Provocateur" loose on these forums came via an invitation from the owner of the website, mainly for the purpose of generating more website hits. The owner was particularly enthusiastic about targeting the Southstander forum and in particular it's regulars who were... in his opinion... arrogant, pompous, middle class, business types who required taking down a peg or two given they were intrinsically unrepresentative of the sport and it's working class roots.

| In my understanding AP was mainly driven by Jeff but on occasion there were one or two others who took the reins.

Again? Or am I getting you mixed up with another poster?

Not been around here much lately but apart from my =#0000FFgenuine offer I've not noticed any other instances of this.

I can't even remember what the argument was about. I do remember feeling a complete t!t for losing my rag, but that's about it.
I don't carry a knife any more, I don't live in Gipton now.

I bet it was about cake. I hate it when some internet troll starts giving it large about how biscuits are better when they've probably never eaten a whole cake in one sitting in their life.
I'm getting angry just thinking about it.
I'm going to have to nip out for a cake.

Not sure why they chose AP for that task. He wore cuff links and ate at very "whitey" Indian restaurants as I recall.
"Doctors and lawyers" or some such wasn't it?
Does Mugwump still suffer an inferiority complex?

IIRC, the Southstander/BDMC/FAE clique couldn't handle anything else. The "whitey" one on Kirkstall Rd which most closely resembles Lala's in Batley got the nod. AP didn't vote for it.
Quote ="G1""Doctors and lawyers" or some such wasn't it?'"
Correct, plus other descriptively accurate terminology.
Quote ="G1"Does Mugwump still suffer an inferiority complex?

Does he even still exist?

I doubt that. The hot dog stylee fried onions on wooden platter which accompany the starters at Lala's were guaranteed to put someone like AP off the place for life

Can't recall. possibly. I was far more aggressive in those early days. Cared more, argued more etc etc.
Quote Weren't those Homer Simpson cufflinks presented to AP by you as a peace offering?'" In a pub shortly before going to what AP assured me would not be a whitey curry house only to be surrounded by white faces.
Quote IIRC, the Southstander/BDMC/FAE clique couldn't handle anything else. The "whitey" one on Kirkstall Rd which most closely resembles Lala's in Batley got the nod. AP didn't vote for it. '" There were many, many chosen by AP. Most had whitey clientele.
Quote Does he even still exist?'" No idea. He used to wind me up more than you, sorry AP, actually, I just dealt with it better.
I think my first ever heated online discussion was with Dannyboy01 (whoever the hell he is) on the Leeds official messageboard, before Rivals.net.

| Things were a lot more heated in the early days, I argued a lot more and was quite offensive at times. I guess you have limited options, calm down or blow out and disappear. I don't think you can maintain that level of aggression indefinitely.
