Me.

I can already see him "back by popular demand," even more puffed up and indignantly self righteous than ever.

If I want to see alternative political views to my own I can just look at 99% of the media, and live without the nastiness when I have the temerity to disagree.

What he said. Altough I'd replace the phrase "alternative political views" with "propoganda & downright lies"

We don't need to persuade anyone to sign-up/come back.

These are open forums that anyone (bar spamers) can sign up to.

Sloper's profile hasn't been deleted, and to be honest I don't see why he asked for it to be in the first place because if he did change his mind he could simply re-register.  :shrug:

Sometimes people get hacked off/fed-up with posting on forums and just don't bother posting any more.

What would be more effective would probably be speaking to him in person.

One suspects that Lord Sloper is sitting at home and feeling rather smug and superior that the proles are so upset about his not posting here.

John,

Shall we invite him to the Sheaf one evening for a couple of beers, you can then proceed to mock his political views, I will generally insult him and as if by magic he will realise that he misses this place and all we be well in the world again.

Alternatively we can just say fuck it, don't invite Sloper, and talk about beer and cricket instead.  ;)

I don't like the poll.  :thumbsdown:

I'm not comfy with picking on individuals. Vote for logpile. Besides there's no pain au chocolat option, so it's invalid :)

Really though?

Do you think he will be crying into his caviar, or just loving the attention?

I'd imagine he's not bothering to look at these forums any more if he wanted his profile deleted.  :shrug:

Given that you don't know me very well and are a fairly small fella, that's a risky insult to throw.


Only joking. Long live condom face and the other second generation millionaires that control our lives.

I can make you a PATRuL post emulator - or you can create a similar effect by rubbing Dairylea around your Shift and Caps Lock keys

Have you marketed it? As I seem to be marking a couple of essays written in a similar style.... #fail

the early prototype looked like this



the user rocks back and forth and bangs their head on the stick which is fixed to Caps Lock with a piece of elastic - meaning that 28% of head thrusts result in Caps Lock being struck
