I'm sure that is right. We seem to have more violent agreement on here at the moment than I can remember for a long time.

Maybe even than we had in the very early days around the turn of the century, when those of us who can remember back that far will recall the regular spats with visitors like the Loo Cleaner from Leeds, and Hobson's Knees from that little place up the road.

The volume of posts, on pretty well any forum, always increases exponentially when people are angry and frustrated. For example, you'd see it on here, on the T&A Rantaboard and elsewhere after a bad loss - far more posts than after a win. I think at the moment many, maybe most, people feel the danger has largely passed.

For that time, of course, will tell.

I like a good argument

What this board may lack in quantity, it more than makes up for in quality. As an illustration, just in the past few posts, we have had compassion (Pumpetypump), beautifully understated mockery from Bullseye, bathos from Adey, imaginative (possibly even unique) sexual fantasy and visual imagery which my head really did not need, from north of the border, pithy summation from Red, and Pythonesque allusions all topped by a brilliant, anarchistic, nay, almost Dali-esque use of the quote function by roger dali.

What more could you want?

Usual bollox from you as well. [size=50With respect.[/size

Ha ha, I remember Luke (under various alias') very well and to be honest I quite liked the guy; he was daft and irreverent but wasn't objectionable or abusive and above all never took anything too seriously. It would be good to see his return - he'd definitely brighten up the forum!

You can keep Mr 'Knees', though..

Ha ha

I had some dealings with our Leeds friend outside of the forums - decent, very smart guy and knew exactly what he was doing with his wind-ups. One of your original and genuine professional master trolls - although troll is hardly a fair description, and your description does him much better justice.

Sadly, professionals like him are very thin on the ground now. Present-day forum trolling seems to be an almost universal unpleasant mixture of nasty little creatures and those that are not wired up right

([iLinks: Wakefield Forum; T&A comments[/i)

You know you love him to bits really.

Careful dad, you should remember that it's me who decides what nursing home you end up festering in.

I forgot to add [i'With respect'[/i

I blame modern educashun. I ain't like wot it woz wen we woz kidz....

As Gorgeous George is my MP, I've already had as much respect as one man reasonably ought to, thanks, pops.

I didn't ban Hi De Hi either.



GHOST MODS!!!!

Soooooo, who's the phantom Mod . . . . . . . . . ??

I'm off to take a looksy . . . . . . .

No.

Hang on.

I'm bored already.

Can't be harrised

I blame Durham Giant.

(Well, why not...?)

Its a fair cop.

well being a mix of Satan, Stalin and De Sade i could hardly be thought less off on here!

On the contrary, Smooth Operator is a great piece of work. You have gone right up in my estimations.

And you further down in mine. Ermmm Jazz....nice.

The user name i was and still am banned as was 'rupert bear'.

sure I saw a post by rupert bear on virtual terrace in last couple of days.

Isnt it a breach of AUP to admit to having multiple names anyway?

Banned user admits to breaching ban by logging on under new alias which he then uses to whinge about the moderating process that led to the ban. Hmmmm. If I were Harry Redknapp I'd say that was tactically naive.

This is brilliant stuff.......and they claim the forum is dead!!



Can he come back on if he wears a tag?

I've never seen you 2 in the same room together lad so I have often wondered. And all those tasty birds who hang around your house who you claim are after you, but I think it's your Jamie really.

I'm with you Eddie.

# Stevie, Stevie, OH Stevie Mac, when are you coming back?





The good news is that the best young coach in England of British descent (apart from Brian McDermott, Francis Cummins, Paul Anderson, Shaun Wane, Denis Betts, and Alan Agar) will be returning later this year to coach England in the world cup. A mouth watering prospect indeed

My memory may be playing tricks but as I recall one of the people who derailed thread after thread, got arguments flowing and failed to act on warnings to tone it down was called Rupert Bear. I can't fathom why anyone would ban such a poster. Hi di hi on the other hand seems a more measured and considered individual.
