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.

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

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.  ;)

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

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

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

Yeah what happened to Houd?

His Frau was due to produce a Kinder Houdini so I suspect as a result he has better things to do with his time.

There have been a few examples of people who have ranted off into outer space like this. Reactive non-listeners, high-energy posters who seem to shout ever louder, Sloper, Houdini, Stevie Haston. They make more and more noise until the padding, the little voices of everyone else, became ever smaller and less significant until they just stopped listening.

That left only the shouter.

It's not hard to imagine that these people, in the absence of the illusion of the listener, just came face to face with themselves. Reply to... Me. To meet oneself, see and hear your likeness. If this isn't me then I must disagree with them. 20, go to 10. My guess is it just caused them to implode.

Pop!

Now then, Grimer's post could be edited slightly so it's more of a poem, have some CAPS shoved in and... hey presto! a PATRuL post, just like Ben wants

Kinder Ein was about a year ago? He was still posting at the usual rate for a while after. And why should that stop you, you can only listen to a baby monitor for so many hours a night. :)

Only if the voting system made as much sense as the one we currently use to elect a government seeing as "Fuck him" has 63% of the vote.
